40/ 100
1 How much of what a publishing rights manager is expected to do is already part of a video and motion picture producer’s work. Directional: the figure for the reverse move differs, because moving into a speciality is not the same problem as moving out of one. 2 Every skill the publishing rights manager role is recorded as needing, required and optional together. What these numbers mean.
Why this move works
A publishing rights manager role treats 5 of its required skills as things a video and motion picture producer already does. You would walk in with these on day one.
- assess financial viability
- copyright legislation
- develop professional network
- financial jurisdiction
- negotiate publishing rights
What stands in the way is 4 required skills the profile does not yet cover. Table 3 groups them; Table 4 says which to take first.
Table 2 · What you already bring
Of the 9 skills that carry over, these are the ones fewest other occupations ask for. A publishing rights manager role needs them, and most people applying for one will not have them already. This is the part of a video and motion picture producer background worth leading with.

Table 3 · What you may need to learn
The 9 missing skills fall into 4 areas of the ESCO skill hierarchy, numbered in the order worth working in. Areas carrying the most required skills come first, and inside each one the required skills sit above the optional ones. Nothing here is a verdict on you: it is a list of what this particular job asks for that your current one does not.

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.
