Head of Talent (influencer/creator)

Location: Fully Remote | United States

Salary: Up to $200,000+ base DOE + commission + benefits

We're working with an ambitious creator management business looking to appoint an experienced Head of Talent to lead and grow its talent management division.

This is a senior leadership opportunity for someone with a strong track record in creator representation, commercial growth and team development who is ready to make a significant impact on a growing business.

You'll have the opportunity to work directly with senior leadership, influence the direction of the talent division and play a central role in the agency's next stage of growth.

The business is looking for someone who can combine strategic leadership with a strong commercial understanding of the creator economy, helping to build a high-performing team, attract exceptional talent and develop new revenue opportunities.

For someone who enjoys building businesses as much as managing talent, this offers the chance to take genuine ownership of a division, develop a team and benefit from strong financial incentives linked to commercial success.

The Role

• Lead the talent management division, overseeing commercial performance, roster growth and long-term strategy.
• Manage, mentor and develop a team of Talent Managers, supporting their individual growth and commercial performance.
• Work closely with senior leadership to shape the direction and expansion of the business.
• Identify and recruit high-potential creators and experienced Talent Managers to strengthen the division.
• Develop strategies to increase revenue across the roster through brand partnerships and other commercial opportunities.
• Build and maintain senior-level relationships with brands, agencies and key partners across the creator economy.
• Establish and improve processes that support effective talent management, commercial growth and team performance.
• Identify new opportunities for business development, strategic partnerships and expansion.
• Take responsibility for driving a high-performance culture across the talent management function.

What We're Looking For

• Extensive experience within creator or influencer talent management, ideally at Talent Director, Head of Talent or a comparable senior level.
• A proven track record of building and developing successful talent rosters.
• Experience managing, mentoring and scaling teams of Talent Managers.
• Strong commercial performance, including significant revenue generation through brand partnerships.
• An established network across the creator economy, including creators, brands, agencies and industry decision-makers.
• Excellent leadership, negotiation and strategic business development skills.
• An entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to identify opportunities for growth.
• Someone who can operate strategically while remaining closely involved in the commercial side of the business.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

• Work directly with the senior team and play an important role in shaping the future of the talent management business.
• Take ownership of developing a successful talent division, growing the roster and building a high-performing management team.
• A highly competitive base salary alongside commission that rewards commercial success.
• Move beyond day-to-day talent management and contribute to broader business growth, expansion and long-term planning.
• Further develop your leadership experience, commercial expertise and influence within the creator economy.
• An opportunity to take ownership, introduce new ideas and help drive the direction of a growing business.
• Work fully remotely from anywhere in the US.

Compensation & Benefits

• Base salary up to $200,000+ DOE.
• Commission structure.
• Benefits package.
• Fully remote across the US.
