• Support or lead (depending on level) the identification and signing of new creators with strong creative vision and commercial potential.
• Collaborate with internal teams across legal, finance, and partnerships to deliver seamless campaign execution and exceptional client service.
• Stay ahead of digital trends, emerging platforms, and industry shifts to help creators and brands stay at the cutting edge of the creator economy.
