Job Summary:
As a Social Media Creator Agent, you will work directly with the General Manager and the Operations Director to coach, and accelerate the growth of our Content Creator users. Your mindset must be that of a builder, not just a coach.
This role has two core missions:
- Deliver hands-on creator growth: You will coach creators 1-to-1 to grow their audience, increase their engagement, and monetize their content. You will analyze their entire content plan end-to-end. You will challenge them with personalized weekly tasks that improve key metrics such as click-through-rate, retention rate, followers growth, and engagement rate. Once creators reach strong traction, you will also identify new revenue opportunities and activate brand deals.
- Build the foundations of the Creator Agent function: You will design, test, and refine the methodologies that power our coaching model. You will transform your learnings into structured playbooks, training materials, and repeatable processes that will allow us to scale a high-performing agent team.
This is not a passive coaching position. You will think like a strategist, operate like a creator, and build like an early-stage founder. You must be able to analyze performance data, communicate clearly, and move quickly.
The ideal candidate is a senior creator strategist with real, proven experience growing accounts on YouTube, Instagram, or TikTok. You understand how content scales, why packaging matters, and how to push creators to become consistent, professional, and commercially ready.
This is a remote position. Resumes and communication must be submitted in English.
