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
- Generalist project managers without creator economy or VC experience

- Lead creator-led special projects from concept to delivery, managing timelines, partners, and resources.

- Operate effectively in ambiguity and adapt quickly to shifting priorities.
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.

- 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.
