Influencer and Artist Agent

Bridge Models Limited is a talent agency with divisions in London and New York. We represent models, influencers, and content creators internationally, with a focus on diversifying mainstream media and elevating progressive and exceptional role models. Our roster is diverse and inclusive by design, and our talent have fronted work for brands including Men's Health, Juicy Couture, REVOLVE, Savage X Fenty, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, Nike, and adidas.

We are female founded and deliberately small. Everyone here has real ownership of their work, ideas get heard the same day you have them, and there is no layer of management between you and the decisions.

That only works if you can run without being managed. We are looking for someone who takes a brief and goes, who chases the deal without being asked twice, and who would find being checked in on three times a day insulting rather than reassuring. You will be responsible for finding, signing, and building your own roster. Scouting the talent, making the approach, closing the signing, and then doing the work to make them commercial. Your own talent, your own targets, and the room to make your own calls.

We are also at a point of transition. We are looking hard at what we do well and what we need to do better, and building a plan for the next phase of the business. The market has changed and it will keep changing. We want someone who can adapt with it, who thinks past the current quarter, and who wants to help shape where this business goes rather than just work here while it gets there.

Curiosity matters to us. If you are not reading industry updates, sitting in on webinars, and firing a podcast interview into the team chat because you think we all need to hear it, this will not be the right fit. The people who do well here are the ones who never stopped learning.

Our ideal candidate has at least two years of experience, either managing their own roster at an agency or working client and agency side sourcing creators for brand campaigns. You will already understand how a deal comes together and what talent need from the person representing them.

Most of all, we are looking for someone who loves this industry for its challenges and possibilities but has no appetite for the drama that can come with it. We work hard, we are direct with each other, and we would rather solve a problem than perform one. If you want to do good work in a friendly, positive, and genuinely supportive team, you will fit here.
