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.
