Special Projects Manager - Creator Ecosystem and Platform Initiatives
Posted about 1 month ago
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
Key Responsibilities
Project & Initiative Execution
- Lead creator-led special projects from concept to delivery, managing timelines, partners, and resources.
- Coordinate across internal teams (marketing, operations, legal) and external partners.
- 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.
- Prepare reports and updates for internal leadership.
- 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.
Requirements
Minimum Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience with at least one of the following as a primary focus: creator economy, venture capital, or startup ecosystem building — and working knowledge of the other.
- Demonstrated experience launching or managing programs, partnerships, or initiatives in these spaces.
- Existing relationships within the creator or VC ecosystem (please speak to these specifically in your application).
- Strong project management, operational, and communication skills.

Need to get going on some really big goals? Maybe your team is challenged with the growth of a new product line, but you have no idea where to start? Perhaps your company needs to innovate and scale up, but you’re stuck in “We’ve tried everything – nothing works.” Or you have these perpetual thoughts of achieving something new – a new adventure, an entrepreneurial endeavor, a long-lost goal – but you haven’t been able to take action? In our unique Visioneering Process, we use the Merlin, or backcasting, process to help individuals, teams and organizations get from where they find themselves today, in their current reality, to where they want to be. Backcasting starts with defining a desirable future and then working backwards to identify landmarks, benchmarks, milestones, accomplishments, events, tasks, and programs that will connect the future to the present. The fundamental question of backcasting asks: “If we want to attain a certain future, which accomplishments must be achieved to get there?” Our expert team of Future Creators specializes in vision creation, implementation and facilitating transformation through strategic planning, committed action and positive change. We use on-purpose play, group genius, collaboration, emotional and somatic intelligence and over 25 years of experience in innovation and transformational coaching to help our clients create extraordinary futures! We create and hold the space that EVERYTHING is possible!
