We are looking for a senior, relationship-led Talent Manager to own a roster of creators, drive brand revenue, and grow long-term partnerships. You'll be the bridge between creators and brands, shaping strategy, structuring deals, and ensuring campaigns deliver real impact.
This is a role for someone who's already proven they can originate, negotiate, and close brand deals in the creator economy — and who thrives on building repeat business.

- Deal Origination & Pipeline: Proactively pitch creators to brands/agencies, convert inbound interest, and maintain a healthy pipeline to hit revenue targets.
- Negotiation & Contracting: Structure and price deals; negotiate terms (usage, exclusivity, whitelisting/paid social rights, FTC/ASA compliance); coordinate SOWs with legal.
- Account & Relationship Management: Build repeat business and long-term partnerships through retainers and ambassador programs.
- Creator Strategy: Guide creators on positioning, media kits, verticals, and content approaches to increase close rates and deal size.
- Forecasting & Reporting: Own weekly revenue forecasts; track KPIs like win rate, deal size, time-to-close, and renewal rate.
- Cross-Functional: Partner with campaign ops on deliverables, approvals, and reporting.
- Roster Development: Identify and sign high-potential creators aligned with our vision.
Must-Have Experience
- 2–5+ years in creator/influencer management, talent agency, or brand partnerships.
- A strong brand/agency network with proven repeat business.
- Demonstrated quota attainment and revenue growth with creator rosters.
- Contract and negotiation expertise (usage, exclusivity, paid usage/whitelisting, FTC/ASA compliance).
- Proficiency in CRM (HubSpot/Notion/Airtable), Sheets/Excel, and platform back-ends.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience across TikTok, Shorts, Reels, Snapchat.
- Background in affiliate/creator commerce, whitelisting, or paid social.
- Category knowledge in beauty, fashion, gaming, CPG, or apps.
- Familiarity with brand safety standards and platform policy updates.
