The posting

VaynerX

VaynerX is a family of companies building brands for the now. Founded by Chairman Gary Vaynerchuk in January 2017, the modern-day parent company is home to relevance-driving businesses including VaynerMedia, ChukMedia, Tamara Group, Gallery Media Group, Tingley Lane Trading, and VaynerSpeakers.

Role Overview: The Director of Business Affairs will lead a team within the BA department and oversee the business, financial, and legal aspects of content production across broadcast, social, digital, and experiential projects. This person is a strategic leader with an entrepreneurial spirit, capable of working in a fast-paced creative environment. Moving beyond day-to-day administration, this role focuses on high-level production support, complex deal structuring, agency-wide process implementation, and the active mentorship and development of Business Affairs team members. The Director is expected to be a hands-on practitioner, actively involved in the daily work of productions alongside the team.

Key Responsibilities:

Leadership & Team Management:

  • Manage, lead, and build a team with empathy, directness, and humility.
  • Cultivate an inclusive and equitable environment and always apply a solutions-oriented approach to leadership.
  • Guide team members on how to communicate legal issues, timeline hurdles, and potential challenges in a way the creative and business teams will understand.
  • Balance high-level strategy with hands-on, daily execution. Ensure the team is operating with an understanding of modern social media practices and trends.

Production Support & Content Review:

  • Actively join calls with clients and vendors to support complex productions.
  • Collaborate directly with producers to build and manage comprehensive budgets and timelines for productions.
  • Review ideas, scripts and content with a network Standards & Practices lens, ensuring content will comply with network rules, claim substantiation requirements, and regulatory standards (FTC, CARU, etc.) before produced.
  • Advise creative and production teams on evolving legal and business risks surrounding artificial intelligence (AI), likeness rights, voice cloning, and digital platform terms of service.
  • Oversee production insurance coverage (including general liability, equipment, and Errors & Omissions), reviewing shoot-specific risks and securing necessary certificates of insurance (COIs).
  • Develop and align on complex production processes that fit within client requirements (marketing, legal, and procurement), agency capabilities, and agreed-upon deliverables.
  • Build production-specific templates and actively educate the production teams on how and when to use them. Continuously identify areas for improvement in forms and draft updates.

Deal Negotiations & Business Relationships:

  • Review client Master Services Agreements (MSAs) with the legal department, advising specifically on the talent, music, and general production provisions.
  • Review and negotiate production company, director, photographer, and post-production vendor agreements utilizing AICP, AICE, and agency-standard templates.
  • Oversee talent payment operations via third-party paymasters (e.g., Extreme Reach), managing union residuals, session reporting, and SAG-AFTRA claims or audits.
  • Leverage an understanding of platform capabilities, functionality, usage, and content types to creatively structure deals that maximize client goals.
  • Take meetings with vendors and social platforms, identifying potential partners that will enhance business operations or be an asset to our clients.

Process, Operations & Training:

  • Identify gaps in agency procedures and help implement improvements to company resources, systems, processes, and tools.
  • Practice a growth mindset, embracing challenges and sharing ideas to open doors for cross-departmental collaboration.

Requirements:

  • 10-15 years of experience in Business Affairs, preferably at a creative advertising agency.
  • Proven experience managing, mentoring, and developing a team.
  • Extensive knowledge of SAG/AFTRA and non-union talent contracts.
  • Deep knowledge of music licensing, stock footage licensing, and intellectual property licensing for media.
  • Solid understanding of TV production and post-production processes, with deep familiarity of AICP and AICE bid forms.
  • Experience with experiential production.
  • Exceptional written, negotiation, and verbal communication skills.
  • A positive, hands-on, "roll up your sleeves" attitude. A true team player that enjoys working collaboratively, as well as independently.
  • Big picture thinker who is proactive, anticipates potential issues, and deals with them effectively.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
