Role Overview

This full-time Talent Manager position is based in Sydney, New South Wales, and follows a hybrid working pattern with a combination of office and remote work. The role centres on managing a client portfolio, handling day-to-day needs, negotiating agreements, and coordinating commercial, media, speaking, and content-related opportunities.

Key Duties

• Take ownership of a portfolio of clients and support their ongoing professional needs.
• Develop and nurture relationships with clients, brands, broadcasters, publishers, platforms, and other industry partners.
• Identify and pursue new opportunities across both traditional and digital channels.
• Review, coordinate, and manage contracts, schedules, and delivery commitments.

Candidate Profile

Applicants should bring at least 3 years of experience in talent management, artist representation, account management, or a similar role within media, entertainment, or influencer marketing. The position calls for someone who is confident in relationship management, negotiation, and commercial decision-making, with strong attention to detail and the ability to protect client interests.

Success in this role also depends on excellent organisation, time management, and the ability to juggle multiple clients, projects, and deadlines in a busy environment. Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, along with a professional and inclusive manner.

Familiarity with digital media, social platforms, and influencer or creator ecosystems will be useful, and comfort working with analytics and campaign performance data is an advantage.
