Requirements

• A genuine passion for the creator economy and a solid understanding of the social media landscape across platforms like YouTube, Twitch, Instagram, and TikTok
• 1-2 years of experience in talent management, influencer marketing, PR, or a related field
• Strong communicator, confident on calls and emails with both talent and brand partners
