ICM Partners (one of the world's largest talent and literary agencies) is currently seeking an experienced endorsement/commercial brand agent with a focus on servicing the agency's music department and generating revenue for clients with paid brand partnerships and sponsorships.
A cornerstone of the entertainment industry for more than three decades, ICM Partners represents creative and technical talent in the fields of motion pictures, television, music, publishing, live performance, branded entertainment and new media. Under the leadership of partners from each of the agency's core areas of business, ICM Partners continues actively to seek new opportunities for its clients as emerging technologies reshape the media landscape.

This role is ideal for a change agent who understands going the extra mile, building and fostering relationships and shepherding those relationships through to deal closing, and being at a startup within an established organization - the entrepreneurial spirit is not hindered but rather fueled by access to the people, resources, and structure of an established company.
