Translate App Store business and marketing priorities into creator strategies, briefs, and scalable programs.

Push creative boundaries through innovative creator formats, franchises, and storytelling approaches that respond to evolving audience behaviors and culture.
Manage end-to-end creator campaigns across internal cross-functional teams and external agency partners, from strategy and sourcing through execution, launch, and reporting.
Leverage audience insights, creator performance, cultural trends, and campaign learnings to optimize programs and inform future strategy.

Experience working with creators, talent, agencies, and external partners to develop and execute integrated creator programs.
Strong analytical skills with experience using audience insights, cultural trends, creator performance, and campaign data to inform strategic decisions.
Strong understanding of the creator ecosystem, including evolving creator behaviors, communities, platforms, formats, and audience expectations.
A strong point of view on the evolving creator economy and how brands can build meaningful, sustained relationships with creators.

Deep fluency in app, gaming, technology, entertainment, lifestyle, and internet culture, with the ability to anticipate shifts before they become mainstream.
Experience developing repeatable creator formats, vertical series, or franchise programs built to evolve across campaigns, platforms, and cultural moments — including tentpole moments such as app launches, awards seasons, or platform events.
Demonstrated experience working in or adjacent to gaming or app creator communities, with an understanding of how those audiences discover and engage with content.
