SkyBlue Cinematix_India

Operates dynamically at the intersection of brands, entertainment, and technology. As a premier media partner, we build powerful brand-content collaborations across Bollywood, Animation, and Gaming ecosystems. We are pioneering the next frontier of entertainment by bridging traditional celebrity endorsements with cutting-edge AI-driven brand projects (such as digital twins, AI voice licensing, and virtual influencer campaigns).

About the Role
We are looking for an ambitious, hyper-connected Talent Manager / Senior Manager who can seamlessly operate in both traditional celebrity management and the evolving landscape of AI entertainment.

Your job will be two-fold: first, aggressively onboarding talent across the spectrum—from top-tier Bollywood superstars (A-listers) to trending creators and regional actors (B & C-listers). Second, you will pitch these artists to top brands for traditional endorsement assignments as well as forward-looking AI projects.

If you are a smooth talker, a persistent networker, and an exceptional sales closer who understands the value of artist representation and tech-forward media solutions, this role is for you.

Key Responsibilities

1) Talent Acquisition & Onboarding (A, B & C Listers):

a) Proactively reach out to, pitch, and sign artists ranging from marquee A-list Bollywood celebrities to mid-tier (B-list) and rising digital/regional talent (C-listers).

b) Educate talent, their personal managers, and agencies on the massive monetization potential of partnering with SkyBlue, specifically for AI and digital-replica projects.

2) Brand Pitching & Commercial Sales:

a) Pitch signed talent to corporate brands, media agencies, and gaming studios for traditional campaigns (commercials, digital ads, appearances).

b) Drive the sales pipeline for innovative AI brand assignments, pitching concepts like licensed AI voiceovers, digital avatars, and automated personalized brand video campaigns.

3) Deal Negotiation & Closure:

a) Own the commercial negotiation process, securing high-value contracts, clear usage rights, and favorable commercial terms for both traditional and AI deployments.

b) Ensure legal agreements meticulously address AI protection, deepfake safety guardrails, and likeness rights alongside traditional contract clauses.

4) Relationship Management:

a) Act as the primary, trusted point of contact for the artists, ensuring smooth communication and flawless delivery of brand commitments.

Required Qualifications and Skills

• Experience: 5 years plus of experience in celebrity management, talent agency representation, influencer marketing, or media ad-sales in Mumbai.

• Core Competency: A relentless closer. Proven track record of negotiating commercial deals and handling complex artist contracts.

• Industry Network: Strong existing channels or direct access to talent managers, PR agencies, and celebrity inner circles in the entertainment industry.

• Tech-Forward Mindset: A strong understanding of (or a keen interest in) how AI, deepfakes, and digital twins are shifting the brand endorsement landscape.

• Communication: Exceptional pitching, presentation, and interpersonal skills; able to command respect when talking to high-profile artists and corporate brand managers alike.

Perks and Benefits

· Performance Bonus: Highly lucrative, milestone-linked incentives designed for high-performing sales closers.

· Health Insurance: Comprehensive medical coverage for you.

· Work-Life Balance: A standard 5-day work week (Monday to Friday) within a high-growth, energetic media environment.
