About the Job

Requirements

  • At least 8 years of experience in resource management, creative operations, or agency casting at top-tier creative, digital, or integrated agencies.
  • An established, active freelance talent network in North America and preferably Latin America, including Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil, across creative, strategic, account management, project management, production, and technology roles.
  • A proven track record of managing and developing mid-senior-level resourcing staff or casters.
  • Ability to evaluate portfolios, technical skills, and candidate fit across development, technology, strategy, account, creative, and maker roles.
  • Strong interpersonal ability to manage competing personalities, resolve resource conflicts, and negotiate competitive freelance rates.
  • Ability to operate effectively in a changing, scaling agency environment with shifting priorities and rapid delivery cycles.

Responsibilities

  • Own the high-level casting strategy across account management, strategy, creative, maker, and technology/development disciplines, matching team compositions to brief demands, client needs, and project complexity.
  • Partner with creative, strategic, account, and technology leaders to evaluate upcoming briefs and curate teams that elevate output rather than merely fulfill headcount.
  • Oversee, mentor, and direct two dedicated casters; delegate routine resourcing and personally manage complex, high-profile, or cross-functional team allocations.
  • Establish resourcing standard operating procedures to maintain quality and consistency as agency volume scales and project timelines change.
  • Build, curate, and maintain a high-caliber network of independent freelancers across North America and preferably Latin America, particularly Argentina, Mexico, and Brazil.
  • Continuously identify and pre-vet talent across emerging disciplines so the agency can scale quickly when major projects arise.
  • Lead freelance outreach, portfolio and technical screening, rate negotiations, and contract onboarding.
  • Use Latin American talent networks to provide regional expertise, cost efficiencies, and extended production capacity while maintaining quality.
  • Balance full-time employee utilization with freelance talent to support agency profitability and prevent burnout.
  • Serve as the final decision-maker when competing business priorities conflict over key talent.
  • Track changes in technology and AI maker tools and integrate relevant talent into the resourcing matrix.
  • Partner with internal HR and Recruiting to align full-time hiring needs with temporary or contract talent solutions, support seamless onboarding and compliant contracting, and maintain competitive compensation benchmarks across North America and Latin America.
  • Work with Talent Acquisition to convert high-performing freelancers into permanent candidates when strategic full-time roles open, while maintaining brand standards and candidate experience.

Desired Qualifications

  • Strong satisfaction from discipline leads in creative, technology, strategy, and accounts regarding team composition and output quality.
  • Ability to fill urgent freelance needs quickly using pre-vetted North American and Latin American talent pools.
  • Effective management of the casting team, smooth resourcing operations, and balanced workload distribution across the agency.
