  • A strong passion for the creator landscape and curiosity about how platforms and creator-led media continue to evolve.
  • Someone who is proactive, self-directed, and comfortable taking ownership in a fast-paced environment.
  • A team player who is coachable, open to feedback, and always looking to improve.
  • Humility and a “no task is too small” mindset when supporting creators and the broader team.
  • Some experience leading or mentoring others, with an interest in helping develop junior team members.
  • A natural relationship builder who enjoys connecting with people and growing a strong professional network.
