Job Description

This is a strategic and hands-on role suited for someone deeply embedded in the creator economy, digital marketing, social media, content creation, or adjacent industries. The ideal candidate brings an existing network of brand and agency contacts, along with strong industry insight and a passion for helping talent grow their personal brands and businesses.

  • Negotiate and manage commercial contracts and partnerships, ensuring alignment with each Talent’s vision and goals.
  • Project manage brand campaigns from briefing through execution, overseeing timelines, deliverables, and cross-functional coordination.
  • Cultivate new brand relationships that align with each Talent’s positioning and long-term objectives.
  • Leverage key industry relationships and maintain up-to-date knowledge of the digital and social media landscape, including platforms like Amazon, YouTube, and TikTok.
  • Support Talent in expanding their off-platform presence, including opportunities within the broader entertainment industry.
  • Plan and execute events such as Talent launch parties and brand activations.
  • Develop case studies and post-campaign reports to share with brand partners and stakeholders.
  • Take on additional responsibilities as needed, based on the evolving priorities of your Talent roster.
Good to have:
  • Balance of commercial acumen and a creative mindset
  • Great interpersonal skills, able to forge strong relationships with people of all levels (internally & externally)
Perks:
  • Medical, dental, and vision
  • 25 days of PTO + sick days + winter break
  • 401k: up to 4% matching
  • Monthly phone/internet reimbursement
  • Yearly professional development stipend
  • New joiner home office allowance
  • Fertility benefits
  • Up to 16 weeks of paid parental leave
  • Volunteer days
  • Identity theft protection and legal assistance
  • Company-paid life and disability insurance
  • Extra voluntary life insurance policy
  • Voluntary hospital and critical illness insurance
