About Us

THIS ROLE IS BASED IN GREENVILLE, NC. CANDIDATES MUST BE WILLING TO RELOCATE. COMPANY ASSISTANCE IS PROVIDED.

About the Role

Beast Studios is looking for a Senior Talent Manager to own how on-screen talent's time is managed across the entire studio. Today, talent coordination is largely administrative: travel, scheduling, and on-set logistics. This role is different. You'll be the person who sees demand coming, resolves competing priorities between teams before they reach talent, sets clear expectations, and makes sure feedback from the creative process actually gets back to the people it's about.

This is not a talent assistant, scheduler, or concierge role. Day-to-day on-set support stays with the existing talent coordination team. This role is about ownership, judgment, and accountability at a senior level: deciding where talent time goes, setting clear expectations, and helping performers grow through regular feedback.

What You'll Do

Own talent availability and time allocation across the studio: prioritize competing requests and decide how talent is deployed.
Check in regularly with division leads to see demand ahead of time, move shoots, and push back where needed.
Set clear standards for each talent member, covering attendance, preparation, professionalism, availability, and production commitments, and address gaps directly and constructively.
Bring feedback from the creative process back to talent, partnering with Creative, editors, and producers to find more ways for performers to contribute across formats.
Be on set for priority productions, observing performance and preparation and turning it into coaching and follow-up.
Build and run systems for scheduling, communication, and tracking talent development.
Report to leadership on talent readiness, utilization, performance trends, and risks.
Act as an advocate for talent, making sure their time and development are protected as the studio grows.

What Success Looks Like

Teams know when talent is available, and competing commitments get resolved before they reach talent.
Each performer has clear, documented expectations and gets timely feedback after priority projects.
Regular reviews of published content inform how talent is used across productions.
Leadership has visibility into where performers are developing, where they can contribute more, and where the studio needs additional talent.

What We're Looking For

Direct experience managing on-screen talent or performers: setting expectations, giving direct, constructive feedback, and addressing performance issues directly.
Senior-manager-level judgment and standing: comfortable negotiating with department leads while still being hands-on.
An operational background in production, entertainment, or live media, with fluency in on-set workflows, filming schedules, and creative review.
A track record of prioritizing independently under changing demands, with strong stakeholder management skills.
Absolute discretion with sensitive information.
Based in or willing to relocate to Greenville, NC. This is an on-the-ground role, not a desk-bound one.
Nice to have: experience in YouTube or the creator economy, talent-development or performance-coaching frameworks, or working knowledge of talent agreements and confidentiality requirements.
Backgrounds that fit well: senior talent management at a studio or network, talent management companies and agencies, correspondent management, or tour management for music acts.

The target total compensation range shown below includes the fixed annual salary range, an employee equity plan grant and, where applicable, a target bonus, plus comprehensive benefits including health coverage, a 401(k), and paid time off. Equity grants are issued in good faith, subject to company policies, board approval, and individual eligibility. When making compensation decisions, we consider many factors like role level, market data, location, and relevant experience and skills.

Target Total Compensation: $150,000 USD - $200,000 USD

Fixed Annual Salary: $130,000 USD - $160,000 USD
