• Passionate about the creator economy, digital culture, and emerging platforms.
• Confident working across disciplines — from mood boarding to strategy decks to community launch plans.

• Post-Seed salary opportunity once funded.
• Full creative ownership and freedom to define a brand from scratch.
• A front-row seat in redefining how creators thrive online.
• Flexible, remote-first work culture and a team that values courage, creativity, and impact.
