Our work sits at the intersection of product adoption and creator growth – helping creators discover features, build sustainable strategies, and set the standard for quality content at scale.
About the Role

• Comfort turning data into strategy – dashboards, self-serve tools, and basic querying
• Sharp communicator, written and verbal, across all levels
• High ownership mentality — you spot gaps and fix them
Preferred Qualifications
• Experience collaborating across global teams and time zones
• Comfort working in fast-paced environments where priorities shift quickly
• Deep understanding of creator trends and tools across platforms
• Experience managing a tiered or segmented creator/talent portfolio in the Food, Lifestyle, and/or Learning verticals
