1 Share of the producer role’s weighted skill requirement already met by the publishing rights manager profile. Required skills count in full, supplementary skills at 0.35. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs. 2 Combines what is missing with how specialised it is, so a gap of general skills scores easier than the same number of narrow ones.

Why

Why this move works

A producer role treats 5 of its required skills as things a publishing rights manager already does. These are the ones it depends on most.

  • assess financial viability
  • copyright legislation
  • develop professional network
  • manage staff
  • marketing principles

What stands in the way is 5 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.

Table 2

Table 2 · What you already bring

Of the 11 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A producer role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a publishing rights manager background worth leading with.

Skill the target role also needs Area
  • already held negotiate publishing rights communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held negotiate with artists communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held liaise with financiers communication, collaboration and creativity
  • already held plan marketing strategy management skills
  • already held marketing principles business, administration and law
  • already held financial jurisdiction business, administration and law

All 11 carried skills, including the 5 the producer role treats as required.

9 gaps that are knowledge rather than practice

Knowledge gaps usually close through study. Practical skill gaps usually need something you can point at.

Note

How this record was compiled

Both occupations are taken from ESCO, which lists the skills and knowledge each occupation is expected to have and marks every one required or optional. Nothing here is a prediction about hiring, and nothing here knows that a particular employer wants a particular certificate. Treat Table 3 as a starting point for your own research rather than a syllabus. The full method states what these figures can and cannot tell you.
