Job description

Game Seven Agency, an Excel Sports Management Company, is a full service creative and experiential agency that lives for sport, music and culture. From the biggest moments to the smallest details, we pride ourselves on being in the know and building relationships that matter, for brands that matter.

Our team is comprised of creatives, strategists, producers, designers, project managers, influencer managers, filmmakers, volunteers, activists, ballplayers, hypebeasts, social media moguls, runners, mixologists, party promoters, hip-hop elitists, show-bingers, hot-take havers, vintage t-shirt collectors, fitness fanatics, pet parents, plant parents, human parents, and general good time havers.

Clients include Hennessey, Nike, Jordan, Spotify, Meta, Instagram, TikTok, Amazon, Timberland, Oakley, Footlocker, Chime, Fanatics, Bleacher Report, Uninterrupted, and more.

The Role

Game Seven is seeking a full-time Freelance Recruiting Manager to identify, recruit, and pipeline best-in-class creative, strategy, digital, and production talent. This is a permanent, internal role dedicated to building and sustaining the freelance talent infrastructure that powers our work.

This role sits at the intersection of talent sourcing, recruitment strategy, and creative operations. You will own the end-to-end process of finding, vetting, and cultivating a dynamic freelance network — from designers and creative directors to producers and editors — ensuring we always have the right talent ready when projects demand it.

You are equal parts recruiter, relationship-builder, and operator. You thrive in fast-paced environments, understand the rhythms of a creative agency, and take genuine pride in knowing the talent landscape better than anyone in the room.

Key Responsibilities

Talent Sourcing & Recruitment

  • Proactively identify, vet, and recruit a bench of freelance creative and production talent across all experience levels
  • Build and maintain talent pipelines across disciplines including design, art direction, strategy, video production, experiential, and emerging skill sets
  • Own and evolve a structured freelance database, including rates, availability, specialties, and performance history
  • Stay deeply tapped into industry networks, communities, and cultural movements to continuously surface new and emerging voices
  • Conduct outreach and intake conversations to assess fit, establish relationships, and qualify talent before project needs arise

Pipeline Development & Relationship Management

  • Develop and nurture ongoing relationships with freelancers so we are always a preferred partner when they're available
  • Maintain warm pipelines across all key disciplines so the agency can move quickly when opportunities arise
  • Represent Game Seven's brand and culture compellingly when recruiting freelance talent

Operations & Process

  • Collaborate with Finance, Legal, & Operations on freelancer onboarding, contracting, and rate negotiation
  • Ensure a smooth and professional onboarding experience that reflects well on the agency
  • Maintain clear documentation around freelance talent pipelines and recruitment activity
  • Help refine and scale freelance recruitment processes as the agency grows
Qualifications
  • 3–5 years of experience in talent recruitment, a creative agency, production company, or related environment
  • Proven track record of sourcing and building freelance creative or production talent pipelines
  • Strong understanding of creative disciplines and production workflows
  • Exceptional organizational and interpersonal skills, with a natural ability to build trust quickly
  • Ability to manage multiple recruitment priorities in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
  • An existing network within creative and/or production communities is a strong plus
  • Experience in culture-driven, sports, or entertainment marketing is a plus

The pay range for this position is $85,000 - 100,000

Please note that compensation information is a good-faith assessment associated with this position only and is provided pursuant to local salary transparency laws.

Ultimately, the salary may vary based upon, but not limited to, relevant experience, time in role, business sector, and geographic location, among other criteria.

This role is not eligible for sponsorship.
