Global talent agency platform with diversified entertainment and sports representation
United Talent Agency operates a multi-disciplinary talent representation business spanning film, music, comedy, sports, brands, and publishing across US and international offices. The tech stack reveals a financial-operations engine built on Salesforce, NetSuite, Workday, and a modern data layer (Kafka, Snowflake, Databricks, PostgreSQL), paired with backend infrastructure (Node.js, TypeScript, AWS Lambda, GraphQL). Active hiring in finance, data, and engineering—alongside projects on payment distribution, commission models, and financial platform modernization—signals internal focus on automating complex revenue workflows and scaling back-office systems as the agency diversifies its client roster.
