Official Licensing Specialist (for PlayStation)

Job Duties

We are looking for a practical person in charge of officially licensed products.
You will be responsible for the operation of the license approval process for peripheral devices (controllers, headsets, etc.), operation of parts order sales, and related tasks.
You will analyze and organize applications and requests received from marketing members and licensees around the world, and with the cooperation of related departments, promote licensing, resolve issues, and communicate with stakeholders, including other companies. This is a position where you can experience the growth of a business that will be scaled up in the future, unlike the large business that we already have.

Organization and Workplace

This organization handles policies for licensed products (e.g., handle-type controllers) and the approval process for global licenses, and works with 3rd parties to promote product device development based on perspectives and user insights that we would not have come up with on our own. In cooperation with each department, we promote a unique brand licensing business while maximizing the strength of the PlayStation brand. With the expansion of the licensing business, we are now in a phase where we need to build a system to promote further business efficiency and medium- to long-term business expansion, including increasing the number of licensed product categories, in parallel with practical operations.
We are also in an environment where you can make the most of your English skills, as we sometimes discuss with global marketing what impact granting a license for this product will have on the PlayStation business.
