About the Role

We are seeking a Talent Manager to support and manage day-to-day operations across our roster while contributing to new business efforts. This role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast past environment, is highly organized, proactive, and confident managing talent and brand relationships independently.

You will work closely with senior leadership while also owning key aspects of talent management and partnership execution.

• Maintain accurate tracking across contracts, deliverables, payments, and timelines
• Oversee campaign execution to ensure all deliverables meet a high standard
• Assist in building and updating talent decks, case studies, and performance reports
• Monitor industry trends and provide insights to support talent growth

What We’re Looking For

• 1–2 years of experience in influencer marketing, talent management, or brand partnerships
• Strong written and verbal communication skills (client-facing experience required)
• Proven ability to manage multiple workstreams and priorities simultaneously
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail
• Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with strong follow-through
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Familiarity with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and influencer platforms/tools + trends
• Passion for the creator economy and digital landscape
• Strong reliability and consistency - this role requires dependable day-to-day execution

Perks & Benefits

• Unlimited PTO: We encourage time to recharge, especially given the “always on” nature of our work
• Flexible Fridays: End your day at 1PM on Fridays when deadlines and client needs are met
• Growth Potential: We’re building a future-facing team and want you to grow with us
• Commission Incentives: Performance-based earning opportunities
• Health Insurance Stipend: Monthly contribution toward health coverage
