Creators are at the heart of everything we do! We are a curious, diverse team of 300 individuals around the world who are passionate about the Creator Economy. Our proximity, understanding, and trust of creators evolved into a first-of-its-kind creator ecosystem. Under Whalar Group, there are six companies: Whalar, a global creator agency; Sixteenth, a global full-service, 360° creator and talent management company; Foam, a suite of AI tools, templates, and services; Moby Ventures, a creator-centric venture studio; Umi Games, a groundbreaking gaming studio; and The Lighthouse, an IRL campus for creators and their teams.

About the role:

We are seeking a Business Affairs Consultant to support our growing Whalar Studios division with production paperwork, appearance agreements, risk assessments, and freelancer contracts. Further, supporting Whalar Agency, you will draft, negotiate, and execute creator/talent agreements (for the benefit of Brand clients) within the EMEA and DACH regions, as well as review the Creator’s provided content for intellectual property risks and other applicable regulations.

You’re not in it alone; you will be joining a team of two based in London to support the growth and development of the EMEA and DACH regions.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Review, redline, and negotiate creator agreements on behalf of brand clients.
• Advise, plan, and coordinate all aspects of creator agreement review and approval.
• Communicate and negotiate with creators, agents, managers, and legal counsel on all aspects of agreements.
• Work flexible hours to support our Global BA team when needed.
• Supporting our Director, Business Affairs, with contract execution and ad-hoc requests.
• Support our exciting Whalar Studios division with freelancer agreements, risk assessments, content production paperwork and clearances.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 3+ years of experience in social media marketing, marketing, entertainment, or the Creator scene.
• A passion for social media, the creator economy, and a fondness for processes and contracts.
• Experienced in talent contract editing and strong negotiation skills.
• Good understanding of basic Intellectual Property principles, as well as clearance.
• A self-starter who is able to work independently with minimal supervision.
• Stay organised to manage and prioritise daily requests like a pro in a fast-paced environment.
• Being open to flexing hours beyond the standard schedule to ensure campaigns go off without a hitch.
• Juggle and prioritise multiple requests to keep projects on track in a dynamic environment.
• Maintain strong attention to detail, especially in contracts and providing direction to internal teams, where getting it right is key.
• Keeping a positive, can-do vibe that contributes to our creative and collaborative environment.
• Exposure to and/or experience with content production paperwork (releases, risk assessments, insurance, and clearances) is desirable but not required.
• Knowledge of another European language (German or French) is a bonus, but not a must.
