Talent Manager (Creator Partnerships)

Your mission

Creators is Arcade’s newest and fastest-growing team, and we’re looking for a Talent Manager to sit at the heart of it: the person our creators trust most on brand partnerships, and the first call for the brands and agencies who want to work with them.

You’ll run a high volume of always-on brand partnerships across our roster, from first conversation to final invoice, across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch and beyond. You’ll negotiate your own deals, help each creator decide what’s right for them, lead the gifting, events and PR moments that build their profile, and grow a brand and agency network of your own. Working alongside our Programming & Partnerships (P&P) team, you’ll spot the bigger opportunities early and help bring them in.

You’ll work closely with our Head of Creators, with a dotted line to our MD, Commercial, and help shape how a modern talent team runs from the ground up.

What You'll Do

• Run Your Own Deals Own a steady flow of brand partnerships across our creator roster, end to end. You’ll qualify and pitch, negotiate fees, usage and exclusivity, and then manage delivery with the creator through to the final invoice. You’ll have a personal revenue target and the freedom to decide how you hit it.
• Be the Creator’s Commercial Champion Get to know each creator: what they’ll do, what they won’t, and where they want to go. Bring them the right opportunities and give them an honest view on what to take, so they trust you on every deal.
• Be the First Call for Brands Be the go-to contact for brands, agencies and PR teams who want to work with our creators. Give fast, clear answers, and turn one-off deals into partners who keep coming back.
• Build Your Network Build strong relationships with influencer agencies, brands and talent managers so their briefs come to Arcade first. You’ll grow a network that’s yours.
• Grow Creator Profiles Lead the gifting, events, appearances and PR moments that build each creator’s profile beyond paid work.
• Spot the Big Ones Early Work alongside P&P so the larger, production-led opportunities you uncover land in the right place. Help shape the pitch and stay close as they come in.
• Shape How We Work The Creators team is new, so you’ll help build it. Work with the Head of Creators on how we use AI and automation across pipeline, media kits, audience insight and inbound. Use what you hear from brands and creators to inform our wider creator strategy. Keep media kits, creator diaries and the deal pipeline sharp, so the whole business can sell our creators with confidence.

• Deal-Making Experience A track record of negotiating and closing creator partnerships / brand deals yourself, whether in talent management, a creator or influencer agency, or a creator-led business.
• A Network in the Space Existing relationships with influencer agencies, brands and talent managers, and a feel for how that close-knit world works.

• Commercial Confidence At ease pricing and negotiating, and motivated by a target and a high volume of deals.
• Organised at Pace Able to run many deals, creators and diaries at once without dropping detail.

• Nice to Have Experience with gifting, events, media kits or rate cards.
