About the Role:
The Creator Partner Manager owns the ongoing relationships and success of Cantina's signed creators on the platform. This is a hands-on, creator-facing role focused on everything a creator needs to thrive — building and refining their bots, ideating content and campaigns, executing deliverables, and being their day-to-day partner across the platform. The ideal candidate is a creative builder who loves working directly with talent, has strong instincts for what makes content resonate, and gets energy from helping creators succeed.

What You’ll Do:

• Serve as the day-to-day point of contact for a portfolio of signed creators, building deep trusted relationships across all things Cantina

• Hands-on build and iterate on creator bots and characters alongside talent, translating their voice, IP, and audience into compelling on-platform experiences

• Lead creative ideation on content, campaigns, and platform-native formats, and manage execution of partnership deliverables end-to-end

• Provide ongoing platform support, training, and best-practice guidance, and track creator performance against partnership KPIs

• Act as the internal advocate for creators — relaying feedback, feature requests, and market intelligence to product, content, and marketing teams

What You’ll Bring:

• 5-7 years of experience in creator partnerships, talent management, influencer marketing, or a creator-facing role within the creator economy

• Proven track record of managing creator relationships and executing campaigns or content deliverables end-to-end

• Strong creative instincts and hands-on builder mentality — comfort ideating content concepts alongside talent and learning new platform tools (AI tools, content creation software, or bot/character building a strong plus)

• Excellent project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple creators and deliverables simultaneously

• Self-starter energy and genuine passion for creators, with deep understanding of what motivates them to invest in a new platform
