About the role
Organization: Sixteenth, US
Position
Location: LA/NY, Remote
Sixteenth, part of Whalar Group, is one of the leading, global, 360°Creator talent management companies. As the home of "good influence," we're dedicated to building long-term, strategic partnerships that help Creators fulfill their professional and human potential. We believe in promoting positivity and purpose, enabling Creators to deliver culturally relevant content, achieve deeper audience engagement, and build lasting careers. Our team represents a diverse roster of 300+ Creators across all platforms and verticals like comedy, food, beauty, parenting, gaming, entrepreneurship, wellness, and more.
About the role
As a Senior Talent Manager, you'll be the driving force behind the careers of a select roster of top creators. You won't just manage talent - you'll help them build lasting brands, expand into new revenue streams, and seize opportunities across every corner of the creator economy.
This is a strategic, hands-on role for someone who thrives at the intersection of talent representation, brand partnerships, and creative business development. You bring an existing network of brand and agency connections, deep industry knowledge, and an instinct for spotting where culture and commerce meet. Above all, you have a passion for helping creators grow their influence, impact, and income.
We're looking for someone who can think big-picture while mastering the details - a true partner to talent who can map a five-year growth plan and still roll up their sleeves to negotiate a contract or project-manage a campaign.
Here's what you'll do day-to-day
- Build and manage your own roster of creators, developing long-term strategic growth plans tailored to each talent's ambitions.
- Drive new business for your talent through partnerships in ambassadorships, publishing, content development, syndication, product licensing, IP development, and brand building.
- Lead all stages of brand collaborations - from pitch to negotiation to flawless delivery - ensuring opportunities align with each talent's vision.
- Collaborate with publicists, model bookers, and commercial team members to deliver 360° career support.
- Cultivate and expand brand and agency relationships that align with your talent's positioning.
- Stay ahead of industry trends, platform updates, and emerging revenue models across TikTok, YouTube, Instagram, Amazon, and beyond.
- Support talent in building off-platform ventures, including entertainment, live events, and product launches.
- Plan and oversee high-impact events, launches, and brand activations.
- Develop post-campaign reports and case studies to showcase results to partners and stakeholders.
- Adapt and take on new priorities as your roster's careers evolve.
Here's what we're looking for
- A proven track record in talent management, influencer marketing, or brand partnerships - ideally with direct experience signing and retaining creator clients.
- Established roster of talent.
- Strong commercial instincts paired with a creative, brand-building mindset.
- Established network of brand, agency, and industry relationships.
- Deep understanding of digital marketing, content creation, and the social media landscape.
- Skilled negotiator with experience structuring and managing commercial contracts.
- Detail-obsessed and highly organized, able to manage multiple projects and priorities at once.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- Thrives in a fast-paced environment, with the flexibility to manage opportunities outside standard office hours.
- Builds strong relationships at all levels - from talent to executives to brand partners.
