• Strategic thinker: You see the big picture and connect creator partnerships to real business outcomes

• People person: You can lead a team, manage stakeholders, and build genuine relationships with creators and partners
• Data-driven: You speak analytics, KPIs, and ROI—but you also understand that not everything that matters is easily measured
