Senior Influencer & Talent Relations Manager (UK - Remote)

Dexerto is seeking a Senior Influencer & Talent Relations Manager to lead and evolve our talent and influencer partnerships function across gaming, streaming, entertainment, and internet culture. Although this is a fully remote role, we are seeking somebody based in the UK. 

This is a senior, high-impact leadership role for someone with deep industry relationships, strong commercial instincts, and a genuine understanding of the creator economy. We are looking for an experienced operator — ideally from an agency, talent management, creator partnerships, or media background — who can own the department, shape strategy, establish best practices, and act as the leading voice internally and externally for all things talent and influencer relations.

For the right candidate, this role has significant scope to evolve into a Head of or Director-level position as the function continues to scale globally.

You will play a central role in how Dexerto sources, negotiates, manages, and activates talent across editorial, video, social, branded content, commercial partnerships, events, and platform programming.

This role requires someone who understands both the creative and commercial sides of the influencer ecosystem — from creator relationships and campaign execution through to metrics such as CPM, performance delivery, audience fit, and commercial value.

The ideal candidate will already have extensive relationships across gaming, esports, streaming, influencer, entertainment, and creator management circles, and will be confident operating with senior agencies, talent representatives, creators, platforms, and brand stakeholders.

This is not simply a coordination role — it is an opportunity to build and lead a strategically important function within one of the leading brands in gaming and internet culture media. The successful candidate will help define Dexerto’s long-term creator and talent strategy, influence commercial direction, and play a key role in shaping how the business operates within the wider entertainment and creator ecosystem.

Impact of the Role

Talent and creator partnerships are central to how modern media brands build authority, audience, and revenue.

This role will play a major part in shaping how Dexerto operates across the influencer and creator landscape — strengthening relationships, improving commercial capabilities, scaling creator partnerships, and helping position Dexerto as a leading media brand within gaming and internet culture.

This is a rare opportunity for a highly connected senior operator to take ownership of a strategically important function with genuine long-term leadership potential inside one of the world’s leading gaming and entertainment media brands.
