Talent Coordinator - Chicago

Turopium Sports & Entertainment is the fastest growing gaming talent management agency in the UK and following our expansion into the US, we’re looking to diversify our roster into a wider range of sectors.

We don’t like to gloat but we’d say that’s pretty impressive.
