Junior Talent Manager

ABOUT US:

OTG is a global talent management agency. We launched our talent division of the business in 2021 and have recently launched in the US. See more about our launch here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JncEzTZSTpc

As a talent-first agency, we want to make sure that as we continue to grow, our talent managers’ rosters remain small so that our talent are provided with best-in-class service to support their careers.
