Talent & Partnerships Manager

Talent and Partnership manager
Location: Remote/hybrid, UK-based
Employment: Full-time
Salary: £30,000 base + uncapped 5% commission on qualifying new business
About us:
Tropeano Media Group is the business behind Marygrace Tropeano, an Italian model, actress and digital creator with a combined audience of over two million and more than two billion lifetime views.
Marygrace’s work spans fashion, beauty and lifestyle, with collaborations including Armani Beauty, Valentino Beauty, Prada Beauty and Mugler.
We’re looking for a commercially minded, highly organised Talent & Partnerships Manager to work directly with Marygrace, manage the day-to-day commercial side of her career and develop meaningful, long-term brand partnerships.
The opportunity:
This is a full-time remote/ hybrid role with close daily collaboration. You’ll have a daily call with Marygrace to agree priorities, discuss opportunities and move projects forward, while independently managing your responsibilities throughout the day.
We’re looking for someone invested in building a long-term working relationship: someone who follows through, brings fresh ideas and sees opportunities beyond standard sponsorship packages.
You should be equally comfortable negotiating a campaign, creating a compelling presentation and developing an original partnership concept that gives a brand a clear reason to work with Marygrace.
Your responsibilities:
Manage incoming enquiries, brand outreach, follow-ups and the commercial pipeline.
Identify paid opportunities across fashion, beauty, lifestyle and relevant wider interests.
Develop original partnership concepts tailored to Marygrace’s personality, audience and career direction.
Create polished pitch decks, proposals, media kits and presentations that communicate creative ideas and commercial value.
Turn ideas into clear proposals with deliverables, timelines and budgets.
Negotiate fees, usage rights, paid media and exclusivity within agreed approval limits.
Coordinate contract reviews and track campaign obligations and licensing periods.
Manage campaign briefs, schedules, approvals and deadlines.
Build lasting relationships with brands, agencies and PR teams.
Identify opportunities beyond individual social posts, including ambassadorships, speaking engagements, events and longer-term collaborations.
Assess invitations and recommend opportunities aligned with Marygrace’s priorities.
Organise meetings with brands, agencies and industry contacts, including scheduling, preparing agendas and managing follow-ups.
Occasionally attend relevant events and meetings alongside Marygrace or on behalf of TMG to build relationships and identify opportunities.
Maintain organised records and provide clear updates on progress, next steps and decisions needed.
Who you are:
You have practical experience in talent management, creator partnerships, influencer marketing or a closely related commercial role.
You have personally negotiated or managed paid creator campaigns.
You understand campaign pricing, usage rights, paid amplification and exclusivity.
You think creatively and can turn an unusual idea into a credible commercial opportunity.
You’re confident creating persuasive presentations using tools such as Canva, PowerPoint or Google Slides.
You write strong pitches that feel personal, relevant and well researched.
You’re organised, dependable and comfortable taking ownership without constant reminders.
You bring solutions and recommendations, communicate openly and flag issues early.
You understand fashion and beauty and can support Marygrace’s positioning as a model, actress and creator.
You’re comfortable working remotely while maintaining consistent communication and momentum.
Relevant brand contacts and evidence of winning new business through outreach would be an advantage.
What we offer:
£30,000 annual base salary.
Uncapped 5% commission on qualifying new business you personally originate and close, with clear written terms.
A salary review after six months based on performance and responsibilities.
Direct collaboration with Marygrace and meaningful ownership of partnerships and commercial projects.
Opportunities to build your professional network across fashion, beauty, media and entertainment.
Opportunities to attend industry events, brand launches and exclusive experiences where invitations and business needs allow.
Occasional product gifting, subject to availability and brand discretion.
Opportunities to contribute creative ideas, lead pitches and develop your presentation and negotiation skills.
The chance to help shape a growing business and expand your responsibilities as TMG develops.
Company-covered expenses for agreed work-related meetings, travel and events.
How to apply:
Apply through LinkedIn with your CV and a short introduction explaining why you’d be a strong fit.
Please include:
One partnership you personally negotiated, developed or managed.
One brief partnership idea for Marygrace and why you think it fits.
