Overview

Can you spot a creator with commercial potential and then turn that potential into actual brand revenue? Nouvel Age Media is looking for a Creator Partnerships & Talent Manager to help us build and grow our creator representation and brand partnerships division from the ground up.

This is not a traditional influencer marketing role where you're handed a campaign brief and asked to find creators for a brand. You'll be responsible for building both sides of our creator partnerships network: talent and brands.

On the talent side, you'll identify and recruit creators with strong commercial potential, build relationships with them, understand their audiences and goals, and position them for relevant paid opportunities.

On the brand side, you'll identify companies that are actively investing in creator partnerships, build relationships with the right decision-makers, pitch our talent, and turn those conversations into paid brand deals.

Nouvel Age Media will sit at the center—connecting the right creators with the right brands while managing the commercial relationship, negotiations, communication, and partnership process.

That means we aren't looking for someone who only knows how to coordinate influencer campaigns.

We need someone commercially sharp who understands creator representation, can build relationships on both sides of the market, is comfortable prospecting and pitching brands, can negotiate confidently, and knows how to turn relationships into revenue.

You'll initially focus on building a curated roster of high-potential creators and generating consistent partnership opportunities for them, with the goal of eventually managing 20+ revenue-generating creators.

Here's What You'll Dive Into

• Creator Recruitment & Representation: Identify, evaluate, recruit, and onboard creators with strong audience quality, content, engagement, professionalism, and commercial potential.
• Brand Partnership Development: Identify and build relationships with brands seeking creator talent and proactively generate paid opportunities that connect the right creators with the right brands.
• Outbound Business Development: Research relevant brands and decision-makers, conduct targeted outreach, pitch creators and partnership concepts, and consistently build a pipeline of potential brand deals.
• Creator Positioning: Help creators strengthen their commercial positioning through media kits, rate cards, audience profiles, partnership packages, and other brand-facing materials.
• Partnership Strategy: Identify brands, categories, campaigns, and opportunities that align with each creator's audience, niche, content, and goals.
• Deal Negotiation: Negotiate rates, deliverables, timelines, usage rights, exclusivity, licensing, whitelisting, and other commercial terms.
• Talent Management: Serve as the primary business contact for represented creators and help them navigate opportunities, negotiations, partnerships, and long-term monetization.
• Partnership Management: Serve as the bridge between creators and brand partners, managing communication from initial introduction and negotiation through campaign execution, payment, and renewal.
• Revenue Growth: Grow monthly brand-deal revenue across the creator portfolio and turn one-off sponsorships into recurring brand relationships.
• Division Development: Help build the processes, systems, relationships, and infrastructure required to scale Nouvel Age Media's creator partnerships business.
