Talent Manager

At EFG (ESL FACEIT Group) we create worlds beyond gameplay where players and fans become community. We pride ourselves in having a corporate social responsibility which is that “IT’S NOT GG, UNTIL IT’S GG FOR ALL”. We are passionate about the culture we foster that ultimately helps to create and shape the world of esports, gaming tournaments, leagues, events and holistic ecosystems staged for our millions of players, fans and heroes.

The Talent Manager will oversee the scouting, booking, and management of broadcast talent, ensuring their seamless integration into EFG’s projects and events. You will collaborate with talent agencies, internal teams, and external stakeholders to coordinate schedules, manage budgets, and support talent during live events. This route is critical to EFG as it ensures the right talent is secured and supported to deliver high quality broadcasts.
