The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, resourceful, highly organized, detail-oriented, has a passion for pop culture and is a self-starter equipped with excellent interpersonal skills and a great attitude. Entertainment experience of at least 2 years at a talent agency, management company, advertising/marketing agency, or related field is required; knowledge of or interest in digital influencers is a plus. This role requires exceptional communication skills, a high level of discretion, and the ability to multitask in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
