Content Protection Manager

Who We Are

Vermillio believes humanity should thrive in the era of AI. That's why we're building essential guardrails for the generative internet — starting with TraceID, our AI protection and licensing technology.

Vermillio is the leader in AI guardrails for protection and licensing. Vermillio brings together 100+ years of combined AI expertise, with its co-founders each building in AI for more than 15 years. The company is well funded and is already working with world-class IP from partners such as Sony and Talent Agency WME.

Our technology creates a secure ethical environment for all builders, makers and creators. Our attribution technology ensures proper credit and compensation reach rightful owners, confirming that AI developers have consent and access to high quality ingredients. TraceID puts everyone in control of what they own, what they build with, and what they create. With our platform TraceID, talent and IP holders can take advantage of the benefits of Generative AI in a safe and secure environment while understanding where and how their valuable data is being used.

• Proven ability to manage timelines, track follow-ups, and drive work to completion independently.
• Sound judgment handling sensitive and confidential client information with discretion.

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with right of publicity / NIL and deepfake or likeness-misuse enforcement.
• Experience with anti-piracy vendors, platform trust & safety teams, or high-volume notice submission tools.
