About the role

HarperCollins Publishers seeks a Senior Contracts Manager to oversee inbound brand and content licensing agreements across Children’s and Trade imprints. The role includes drafting, negotiating, and finalizing contracts and amendments, while coordinating with Editorial, Royalties, Finance, and Legal. The position may be based in New York City on a hybrid schedule or performed remotely from an approved location, with occasional travel or in-office attendance as needed. Salary ranges are provided.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
