Salary range: £19,800-£22,800

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
• Supporting the talent department in delivery our annual summit for YouTube creators, XYZ Summit.

You will have the option to work fully remote. Or, hybrid remote and be based at either our offices in Northampton, or at our co-working space in Nottingham.

We offer all staff 25 days annual leave excluding bank holidays, as well as inclusion in the company’s profit share scheme.

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 range of services to YouTube creators as they grow their audience, content, and business.

Our clients produce content under the umbrella of factual entertainment. They are tinkerers and crafters, coffee connoisseurs and chefs, essayists and educators. Together they represent an audience of hundreds of millions.

Our team are a burgeoning gang of specialists. They are trusted advisors and industry experts to our clients and our team in the UK is the centre of a global network of activity.

You'll be based at Works Social, a contemporary co-working space nestled in a former industrial gem in the heart of Nottingham. Located in the historic Lace Market, the building is a 12-minute walk from Nottingham Railway Station, with connections across the Midlands.

You may be required on occasion to travel to our Northampton office for quarterly meetings.
