Talent Manager (Other levels considered) OTG is a global talent management agency. We launched our talent division of the business in 2021 and are growing quickly - our talents’ reach spans 30M+ followers.
As a talent-first agency, we want to make sure that as we continue to grow, our talent managers’ rosters remain small so that our talent are provided with best-in-class service to support their careers.

The role reports to either a Senior Talent Manager or Talent Director.
