The leading Talent Management recruitment agency
Boutique Digital Talent Agency — New York (Hybrid)
$90,000–$120,000
About the Agency
We’re a boutique talent agency representing digital creators, influencers, and personalities across social, brand, and entertainment. We move fast, work closely with our talent, and pride ourselves on hands-on, relationship-first management rather than a high-volume roster model.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Talent Manager to own a roster of digital talent end-to-end — from brand deals and content strategy to day-to-day career guidance. You’ll be the primary point of contact for your talent and a key relationship-holder with brands, platforms, and partners. This is a hybrid role based in our New York office, ideal for someone who thrives on relationship management and wants real ownership over the direction of the creators they represent.
Responsibilities
- Manage a roster of digital talent, acting as their primary point of contact and trusted advisor
- Source, negotiate, and close brand partnership and sponsorship deals
- Develop content and career strategy in partnership with talent
- Build and maintain relationships with brands, agencies, and platform partners
- Track deliverables, contracts, and deadlines across your roster
- Identify new revenue opportunities for talent (brand deals, licensing, appearances, etc.)
- Collaborate with internal teams (business affairs, social, production) to support talent needs
- Stay current on platform trends, creator economy shifts, and brand budgets
Requirements
- 3–5+ years in talent management, influencer marketing, or a related agency role
- Proven track record closing brand partnership deals
- Strong existing relationships with brands and/or platforms a plus
- Excellent negotiation, communication, and organizational skills
- Genuine passion for the creator economy and digital talent space
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, high-touch environment
- Based in or willing to work hybrid from New York
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary ($90–120k, commensurate with experience)
- Commission/bonus structure on deals closed
- Hybrid working model
- Direct exposure to a growing roster of digital talent and brand partners
- A collaborative, close-knit team culture
