About JAYA Management

JAYA Management is a talent management and marketing company founded by creators, for creators, focused on helping digital talent achieve sustainable success. We represent a growing roster of top-tier content creators and provide full-cycle talent support: portfolio and website development, brand pitching, contract negotiation, and partnership execution from initial outreach through final deliverables. We are expanding into marketing services and event production.

The role

This is an unpaid, hybrid Social Media & PR Intern role (NYC preferred) working closely with JAYA's founder and partner on the company's upcoming brand launch, building toward a formal NYC launch event in January. It is a genuinely hands-on opportunity: interns work directly with leadership, gain exposure across content, PR, marketing, and event planning, and walk away with a finished content portfolio.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain a social media content calendar
• Research trends, hooks, and formats across platforms
• Assist with launch planning and rollout for JAYA's social presence
• Support content creation and editing
• Gain exposure to PR, marketing, and brand partnership strategy
• Help plan and execute JAYA's official NYC launch event in January, including guest and brand outreach

What interns receive

• Direct mentorship from JAYA's founder and partner
• A finished content portfolio from real, hands-on work
• A letter of recommendation upon completion
• Real experience across content, PR, marketing, and event execution
• The opportunity to attend and help run JAYA's January NYC launch event alongside real influencers and brand partners
• Coordination with school internship programs for academic credit, where applicable

Qualifications

• Interested in social media, PR, marketing, or the creator economy
• Organized, curious, and eager to learn
• Comfortable working independently as well as closely with leadership
• Available for a flexible, part-time schedule
• Prior experience beneficial but not required
• High attention to detail and commitment to respectful, professional conduct

About JAYA Management

JAYA Management is a creator-founded talent management company representing a curated roster of digital content creators across lifestyle, fashion, and beauty. We connect creators with brand partners for paid collaborations, gifting, events, and campaigns, with a focus on fair compensation and long-term creator relationships, not one-off transactions.

The role

We are looking for Talent Managers to take ownership of brand partnership development for a small, dedicated group of creators (4 to 5 per manager) from our roster of 8. This is a relationship-driven, deal-closing role: you will identify and pitch brand opportunities, negotiate terms on your creators' behalf, and manage each partnership from first contact through delivery. As JAYA grows, we are looking for managers who can eventually take on full day-to-day relationships with their assigned creators, freeing up our founding team to focus on company growth.

Responsibilities

• Own brand partnership development for an assigned group of up to 5 creators
• Identify and pitch relevant brand opportunities for your creators
• Lead negotiation on rates, usage rights, and deliverables, always with creator sign-off before finalizing
• Serve as the primary point of contact for your creators on partnership matters
• Track outreach, deals, and deliverables to keep partnerships moving and creators paid on time
• Maintain accurate records of campaigns, contacts, and performance
• Represent creators professionally in all brand communications
• Coordinate with the wider JAYA team to avoid duplicate outreach across the roster

Compensation

This is a commission-only role: you earn 20% of the total value of every deal you close for your assigned creators. There is no base salary. This is a new, growing company, and we are upfront that compensation is fully deal-dependent; earning potential scales directly with the deals you bring in and close. This is a non-exclusive engagement, so you are free to take on other clients or work alongside this role. As deal volume grows, JAYA is working toward transitioning managers to salaried or hybrid compensation.

Qualifications

• Experience in talent management, influencer marketing, entertainment, or a related field
• Strong negotiation and relationship-building skills
• Working knowledge of the creator economy and major platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube)
• Highly organized and self-directed: you will be managing your own pipeline with minimal oversight
• Excellent written and verbal communication: you will be representing creators directly to brands
• Comfortable working independently in a small, fast-moving team (currently 2 founders)

What success looks like

You are closing deals consistently, your creators trust you to represent their interests, and brands want to work with you again.
