Influencer Talent Manager — Brand Partnerships 8 MGMT at Eight Media | Austin, Texas Independent contractor | Four days in our Austin office, one work-from-home day each week $50,000–$60,000 annual base | $100,000+ OTE | Uncapped commission You know how to turn a promising brand conversation into a deal and keep a creator informed while it happens. We’re looking for someone ready to own creator relationships and help build the next stage of 8 MGMT. 8 MGMT is Eight Media’s creator talent management division. We help creators build their businesses through brand partnerships, thoughtful representation, and consistent follow-through. You’ll work directly with the founders on an assigned creator roster and help shape how we pitch, manage relationships, and grow. Across Eight Media, our work has included brand campaigns for Tinder, Uber, and Fashion Nova, plus music campaigns supporting releases by Teddy Swims, Madison Beer, and Latto. On the label side, we’ve worked with Island Records, Capitol Records, and Interscope Records. IG here! What you’ll own Learn each creator’s goals, audience, content, rates, and boundaries. Keep them updated, including when a deal hasn’t moved. Find brands that fit, write specific pitches, and build relationships with brand and agency buyers. Move inbound opportunities forward. Negotiate rates, deliverables, usage rights, exclusivity, and payment terms, with founder input on important decisions. Run deals through approvals and delivery. Work with operations and finance to keep handoffs, invoices, and payment updates clear. Keep the pipeline current: each active opportunity has an owner, a next step, and a follow-up date. Build repeat partnerships, pitch relevant creators across the roster, and help identify creators we should represent. What we’re looking for Ideally, you have around two years of creator talent management or influencer marketing experience. Agency, brand-side, or PR experience can fit if you’ve worked directly on creator partnerships and can explain your role in the result. You write clear emails, handle a negotiation thoughtfully, and follow through without someone chasing you. You understand TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube beyond follower counts. You can show us a partnership you helped move forward and how you handled a difficult client or creator conversation. Existing brand and agency relationships are a plus. You’re eager to learn, ask thoughtful questions, and put feedback into practice to sharpen your creator management and brand partnership skills. You don’t need to bring a roster to apply. Why join You’ll have direct access to the founders, an existing creator business to help grow, and a visible connection between your work and your earnings. This is a hands‑on role: you’ll run deals yourself, help improve the process, and have the chance to earn broader responsibility as the division grows. Compensation This is an independent contractor role with a $50,000–$60,000 annual base plus uncapped commission, with $100,000+ on‑target earnings (OTE). We’ll walk through the written commission plan and contractor agreement with you before signing. Eight Media welcomes applicants of all backgrounds. We evaluate relevant experience, judgment, and ability to do the work. #J-18808-Ljbffr Eight Media
