Questions people ask
Why is the company not named?
This is a confidential search. You get the full picture of the business, scale and role now; the name comes once we are in conversation.
Is this a strategy role or hands-on?
Both. You design the system and lead the team, and you personally run high-value negotiations.
How will I be measured?
Deal pipeline volume, close rate, activated partnerships, content hit rate, CPA, ROAS and revenue driven.
I am outside Europe. Should I apply?
European time zones are preferred, but there is flexibility for exceptional candidates.
We are not hiring someone to coordinate influencers; we are hiring someone to own the US creator growth engine.
