Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've built a new business pipeline from zero and closed enterprise deals—you know how to cold outreach, qualify, and negotiate.
  • You understand the influencer marketing, creator economy, or media/entertainment landscape; you can speak fluently about industry trends and brand challenges.
  • You're energized by strategy AND execution—you can define a 3-year growth vision and also jump on calls to prospect.
  • You thrive in fast-paced, scrappy environments and are comfortable wearing multiple hats across sales, marketing, and ops.
  • You have a track record managing small sales teams or departments; you can hire, coach, and build systems for repeatable growth.
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility or won't commit to on-site in NYC—this role requires hands-on presence with leadership and clients.
  • You've only managed inbound pipelines or account management; outbound prospecting and cold-calling terrify you.
  • You're not comfortable with commission-based compensation or variable income tied directly to revenue targets.
  • You lack genuine interest in influencer marketing, creator economy, or entertainment/media verticals—this industry requires authentic curiosity.
