Talent Manager - 25090201

Our client manages and scales short-form creators across TikTok, YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, and Snapchat — with expansion into long-form content. They operate like a revenue team : fast, data-driven, and relationship-obsessed.

They’re 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.
