Are you an innovative business leader passionate about shaping the future of content and influencer partnerships? Join us as a Sr. Business Development Manager, Creator Partnerships on our dynamic Creator team! In this impactful, full-time, permanent, and onsite role, you’ll take complete ownership of launching and scaling complex new business initiatives. You’ll analyze markets, build commercial strategies, forge high-value partnerships with creators, and drive our expansion into fresh content types, markets, and demographics.
You’ll thrive in an environment that rewards builders, those who excel amid ambiguity, set bold strategies where none currently exist, and deliver industry-leading results, even with limited guidance. Every day brings new opportunities, from analyzing industry trends and collaborating with Product and Finance on strategy, to pitching to senior leadership and implementing game-changing go-to-market initiatives alongside talented business development and marketing colleagues.
As a solo-owner and cross-functional leader, you’ll identify new opportunities, make strategic tradeoffs, and navigate resources in a fast-evolving landscape. You’ll collaborate closely with Product and Engineering to shape and deliver pioneering creator offerings, building truly unique partnerships and commercial models from the ground up.
