Role Summary

We are looking for a Special Projects Manager who lives at the intersection of the creator economy and venture capital. This is not a generalist role. You must have direct experience in the creator ecosystem — working with creators, creator-led companies, or creator economy platforms — and genuine familiarity with the VC and startup investment landscape.

You will lead and execute creator-led initiatives and strategic projects, turning ideas into real programs with measurable impact. You'll work directly with creators, founders, and investors to identify opportunities, build new programming, and drive high-impact projects from concept to execution.

Who This Role Is NOT For

  • Generalist project managers without creator economy or VC experience

Key Responsibilities

Project & Initiative Execution

  • Lead creator-led special projects from concept to delivery, managing timelines, partners, and resources.
  • Coordinate across internal teams (marketing, operations, legal) and external partners.
  • Operate effectively in ambiguity and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.

Programming & Idea Development

  • Develop and launch new programs under Creator Special Projects.
  • Identify emerging trends at the intersection of the creator economy and startup/VC ecosystem.
  • Design events, collaborations, and community initiatives that serve creators and founders.

Partnerships & Stakeholder Management

  • Build and manage relationships with creators, VC firms, startup founders, and ecosystem partners.
  • Maintain clear communication and alignment across internal teams and external stakeholders.

Reporting & Operations

  • Track project timelines, budgets, and performance metrics.
  • Prepare reports and updates for internal leadership.
  • Ensure projects deliver measurable ecosystem impact: growth, engagement, and visibility.

Key Success Indicators

  • High-impact delivery of creator initiatives and special projects
  • Strong, active partnerships with creators, founders, and investors
  • New ecosystem programs launched and adopted

Who You Are

  • You have worked inside the creator economy — with creators, creator platforms, or creator-led companies — and understand how it actually operates.
  • You have real familiarity with the VC landscape: how funds work, how investors think, and how startups raise and grow.
  • You are entrepreneurial, comfortable building from scratch, and thrive in ambiguity.
  • You are highly organized, manage multiple projects simultaneously, and don't need hand-holding.

Requirements

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of experience with at least one of the following as a primary focus: creator economy, venture capital, or startup ecosystem building — and working knowledge of the other.
  • Demonstrated experience launching or managing programs, partnerships, or initiatives in these spaces.
  • Existing relationships within the creator or VC ecosystem (please speak to these specifically in your application).
  • Strong project management, operational, and communication skills.
