Account Executive, Strategic Partnerships - Creators

About the role

You are a revenue operator who treats the outbound pipeline as a product. You wake up every day owning the supply side of the fastest-growing creator marketplace in the world, hunting, qualifying, and closing the partnerships that move millions of dollars. You will not wait for leads; you will build the list, write the sequences, and own the entire deal cycle from first click to signed contract. This is a role for someone who uses AI as a force multiplier, turning research and personalization into a scalable competitive advantage. You will sell into the C-suite of creator businesses, navigating complex stakeholder maps and executive-level conversations with the discipline of a true sales leader. Every call you take and every email you send directly feeds our mission to redirect hundreds of billions in ad spend toward creators. If you thrive in ambiguity, move at speed, and care deeply about how the product evolves, you will define the playbook for how we win in this market.
