You will have the acumen to represent the Creator Partnerships team in high-level meetings and will occasionally step in to represent the Chief Creator Officer in certain situations.

This role requires a strategic mindset, a deep understanding of the creator economy, and exceptional leadership skills.

Strategic Oversight: Offer strategic direction for all Creator Partnerships projects, overseeing the selection, vetting, and promotion of creators to align with campaign objectives and client needs.
-
Role Expansion & Mentorship: As an Associate Director, mentor and guide Managers and Senior Managers and their teams, focusing on strategic planning, operational supervision, and leadership.
-
Career Progression Responsibility: Take charge of Managers' career progression, conducting fair and constructive mid-year and end-of-year performance reviews that support their career growth within Whalar.
-
