Boutique Digital Talent Agency — U.S. (Remote)
$120,000–$150,000
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 Talent Director to lead a segment of our talent roster and help shape the strategic direction of the agency’s talent division. You’ll oversee a team of managers, hold ultimate responsibility for your talent’s brand and business growth, and act as a senior voice in high-value deal negotiations and key partner relationships. This is a fully remote, U.S.-based role suited to someone with deep agency or talent management experience who’s ready to lead rather than just execute.

- Lead, mentor, and support a team of Talent/Senior Talent Managers
- Lead negotiations on high-value brand partnerships and complex deals
- Build and maintain senior-level relationships with brands, platforms, and industry partners
- Set roster-wide strategy across content, brand, and revenue growth
- Identify new business opportunities and revenue streams for talent and the agency
- Partner with leadership on roster growth, signings, and overall agency strategy
- Oversee deliverables, deal pipelines, and performance across your team’s roster
- Represent the agency at industry events, meetings, and partner conversations
Requirements
- 6+ years in talent management, influencer marketing, or a related agency/entertainment role, including experience managing or mentoring a team
- Strong track record negotiating and closing high-value brand deals
- Established relationships with brands, platforms, and industry partners
- Excellent leadership, negotiation, and strategic thinking skills
- Deep understanding of the creator economy and digital talent landscape
- Comfortable operating autonomously in a remote, fast-paced environment
- Based in the U.S.
What We Offer
- Competitive base salary ($120–150k, commensurate with experience)
- Bonus/commission structure tied to team and roster performance
- Fully remote working model
- Leadership role with direct input into agency strategy
- A collaborative, close-knit team culture
