We’re looking for a full-time talent assistant to support the continued growth of our roster – up-and-coming and established names producing YouTube content. You’ll be working directly with a handful of US-based and European creators as we help them to achieve their creative and commercial ambitions.
You may have no prior experience, but can consistently demonstrate a genuine interest in digital content. Either way, you will certainly have a confident manner – not only are you friendly and personable, but you are a strong communicator who seems at ease navigating complex situations.
The Role
What you’ll be doing:
- Negotiating sponsorship and brand deal enquiries
- Liaising with talent to communicate sponsorship deals, production schedules, and business meetings
- Supporting the reviewing and negotiating of contract terms to help close commercial opportunities
- Reporting key metrics and maintaining performance and revenue statistics for management and clients
- Providing marketing, advertising and social media support for both internal and client-based activities and achievements
- Carrying out creative and business-related tasks on behalf of clients on an ad hoc basis
- Contributing ideas and pitches for talent development and sponsored content
You will have the option of working entirely remote within the UK, being based at our office in Northampton, or a hybrid of the two. We offer flexible working hours for all staff, with core hours being from 10am-3pm.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Occasionally, you will be asked to travel to meet clients and attend events locally and overseas.
We offer all staff 25 days annual leave excluding bank holidays, plus we close for Christmas! Staff are also eligible for our profit share scheme, and mental health insurance policy.
The Candidate
This role will suit someone who believes they are an unusual mix of creativity and commercial-mindedness. You’ll have an ambition to challenge yourself and not necessarily in obvious ways. This means that those with initiative often make the most of their time at Ziggurat and we are dedicated to helping staff develop a variety of skills.
Whilst you will work closely with other colleagues, you will also develop your own relationships with brands and talent, and you will be confident speaking with even the best-known creators.
Ultimately though, we are looking for behaviours and attitudes rather than knowledge and skills. There are few with experience of what we do and this role is a unique entry point into the digital entertainment industry. The best candidate might not know what you want to do but you will work hard to find out if this might be it.
The Company
Ziggurat XYZ represents emerging and established names in digital media, providing a bespoke management service to YouTube creators as they grow and develop their audience, content, and businesses. We are the first agency in our industry to be recognised by the King's Awards for Enterprise. Last year, we earned the International Trade award for outstanding growth in overseas income thanks to our diverse and global roster.
