Job Description

This Represents is looking to add an experienced Artist Agent to our growing team. The ideal candidate is an outgoing self-starter with a genuine passion for visual storytelling and a deep understanding of commercial production. We want someone with real, hands-on experience — not just familiarity with the industry, but active relationships and a verifiable track record working on large-scale productions.

This is a unique opportunity to work closely with the agency’s founder, represent a diverse roster of talented artists, and play an active role in shaping where we’re headed next.

JOB DUTIES

• Building and maintaining strong relationships with current and prospective clients and artists across all disciplines on our roster — photography, motion, illustration, styling, hair, and makeup

• Growing our client base and generating new business

• Estimating projects and overseeing production budgets for large-scale commercial productions

• Ongoing curation of artist portfolios, both online and print

• Organizing and hosting portfolio shows and client meetings

• Establishing goals and growth plans with artists on the roster

• Consulting on and executing artist career development strategies

• Identifying and recruiting new talent to grow the roster

• Attending shoots when possible to deepen client relationships and support artists on set

• Traveling as needed for meetings and industry events

REQUIREMENTS

• Bachelor’s degree, preferably in marketing, advertising, photography, or a related creative field

• Minimum 3+ years of artist representation or hands-on commercial production experience

• Active, established relationships with art buyers, creative directors, and producers at agencies and brands

• Demonstrated experience estimating and managing budgets on large-scale productions; familiarity with Blinkbid or similar platforms is a plus

• Honest and straightforward about their experience and capabilities

• A strong editorial eye — portfolio editing and curation is a core part of this role

• Familiarity across creative disciplines — photography, motion, styling, hair & makeup, and illustration

• Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast-paced environment

• Goal-oriented, motivated self-starter with an entrepreneurial spirit

• A natural connector who understands that every interaction is an opportunity

• Genuinely invested in the photography and creative industries — regularly attending gallery openings, book launches, artist talks, and industry events

• Exceptional communication and relationship management skills

• High level of initiative and follow-through

• Working knowledge of social media and marketing

Base salary + commission commensurate with experience. Benefits included.

This is a full-time, in-office position based in Los Angeles. Remote candidates in NYC will also be considered.
