Brand Partnerships Associate
About Smooth
Smooth Media is the talent management company for knowledge creators — the people teaching, explaining, and breaking down the world through smart, insightful content. We serve as a true strategic partner to our creators — an extension of their team that helps them run, grow, and professionalize their business.
We’re looking for a Creator Partnerships Manager to join our growing team. You live and breathe the creator world, love building relationships, and thrive as a trusted sounding board. You’ll help creators think big about their growth — and be the person they call when they land a big opportunity or need help getting unstuck.
You’ll manage your own roster and lead the charge on bringing new creators into the Smooth fold. This is a high-impact, external-facing role for someone who’s ready to take ownership. You’ve got a sharp eye for talent, a bias toward action, and a genuine love for helping creators grow. You’re excited to help shape the future of creator management — and build it with us.

Lead creator acquisition — identify and onboard new creators who align with Smooth’s values and thesis
Spot growth opportunities — from new channels to live events, you’ll help creators take a strategic approach to where and how they grow their businesses

You’re a relationship-builder — you thrive on communication, trust, and helping others succeed
You’re proactive and organized — you know how to juggle a lot and still hit your deadlines
You care about quality — from writing a tight email to pitching a complex deal, you take pride in doing things well
