About the job

Vertical is building the next generation talent agency.

We believe creators are becoming the next media companies, and the firms that win won't simply negotiate deals.. they'll shape industries through relationships, technology, and category expertise.

Unlike most talent firms, we build our own software. You'll work with proprietary tools that automate campaign management, buyer intelligence, and creator operations, allowing our team to spend more time building relationships instead of managing spreadsheets.

We currently specialize in food and pet creators, representing talent that reaches tens of millions of people every month across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube.

We're looking for a Talent Coordinator who wants to become an agent. This isn't an operations role disguised as one. It's an apprenticeship in talent representation.

What you will do

Build relationships with brands, agencies, and creators from day one
Coordinate brand partnerships from signed contract through campaign completion
Support negotiations by preparing rate proposals, contracts, and deal terms
Learn how usage rights, exclusivity, licensing, and pricing actually work
Travel to creator shoots, industry events, and brand activations
Sit in on negotiations and client calls with senior agents
Use our internal technology to manage campaigns, contracts, and buyer relationships
Gradually take ownership over creators and grow into an agent role

What we are looking for

You enjoy building relationships with people.
You naturally stay organized without needing constant direction.
You write thoughtful emails.
You care about details.
You like fast-moving environments where every day is different.
You're fascinated by creators, advertising, or digital media.
You want to become an agent—not remain a coordinator.

What you will get

Real exposure to negotiations, brand partnerships, and the business from day one
A direct path to becoming an agent. This role exists to develop the next generation of our team.
$45,000–$75,000 based on experience
An in-person role based on 5th Avenue in Midtown Manhattan

Vertical is an early-stage company with ambitious goals and a small, high-performing team. If you want to build a career in talent representation and are willing to put in the work, we'd love to hear from you.
