Brand Partnerships Director (Digital/Influencer)

Los Angeles, California, United States

Join Our Team at Currents Management 

Currents Management is redefining what talent management looks like in the creator economy, and we’re just getting started. As one of the fastest growing digital talent firms in the country, we work with some of the most influential and inspiring creators online. Our mission is simple: to unleash the full creative potential of our clients by moving mountains. 

We’re looking for a Brand Partnerships Director to join our team and help drive revenue across our entire talent roster. This role is dedicated to one thing: sourcing, pitching, and closing brand partnerships. 

You will act as an extension of our Talent Managers in-market, focused entirely on generating opportunities and securing deals while Talent Managers lead execution, talent strategy, and long-term career development. 

What You’ll Do: 

  • Own and drive brand partnership opportunities across the Currents roster, from initial outreach through deal close. 
  • Build and execute vertical and account strategies, mapping key decision-makers at target brands and agencies and evolving one-off deals into recurring, multi-platform partnerships. 
  • Own and grow key brand and agency relationships, with a focus on long-term partnerships vs. one-off deals. 
  • Proactively source new business by building relationships with brands and agencies and generating outbound opportunities. 
  • Manage inbound requests by qualifying opportunities, identifying the right talent, and moving deals forward efficiently. 
  • Develop and customize pitch materials, talent packages, and campaign ideas aligned with brand objectives. 
  • Lead deal conversations, structure pricing, and support negotiations in partnership with Talent Managers. 
  • Close deals and transition them to the appropriate Talent Manager for execution. 
  • Maintain a clean and organized pipeline of opportunities, tracking outreach, deal flow, and partnership activity, and forecast revenue accurately. 
  • Leverage campaign performance data to inform pitching strategy and improve deal outcomes. 
  • Develop case studies and insights decks that demonstrate talent impact and drive repeat business. 
  • Represent Currents in external meetings, calls, and industry events to build long-term brand relationships. 
  • Develop relationship plans for top accounts, including regular touchpoints, in-person meetings, and proactive ideation. 
  • Provide feedback on talent marketability, pricing, and brand fit based on real-time deal insights. 
  • Mentor Brand Partnerships Coordinators and help elevate pitching, outreach, and deal execution quality. 

What We’re Looking For 

  • 3–6 years in brand partnerships, sales, influencer marketing, or an agency environment with exposure to deal-making. 
  • A track record of personally sourcing and closing deals, motivated by driving revenue and winning business. 
  • Industry fluency: strong understanding of the creator economy, social platforms, and brand partnership dynamics. 
  • Clear, confident, and professional in both written and verbal communication. 
  • Able to manage multiple opportunities simultaneously while maintaining strong attention to detail. 
  • Comfortable using CRM/pipeline tools to track deal flow and forecast revenue. 
  • Self-starter who takes initiative and thrives in a fast-paced environment. 
  • Experience working at a top marketing agency, or talent agency in the influencer / creator space 
  • Bonus: Existing relationships with brands, agencies, or experience working with digital talent. 

Why Currents Management? 

At Currents, you’ll get: 

  • The chance to grow with—and learn from—the best  
  • Direct exposure to leadership and real influence on how the team scales  
  • A collaborative, high-performing culture where big ideas are embraced and excellence is the norm  
  • Access to some of the most exciting creators and brands in the space

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
