  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills
  • Ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment
  • Strong interest in the creator economy, digital media, and online culture

What Success Looks Like...

  • Consistent flow of high-quality new brand opportunities entering the pipeline
