Job description

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

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
