You will also be responsible for building strategic partnerships with organizations within the creative and professional sectors to reach new markets, grow Back stages’ opportunities to convert content creators into actively engaged clients, improve and grow brand awareness of Backstage’s platforms, and build trust within the market.

In this role, you will also work with other stakeholders across the business, including but not limited to the account management, content curation, product, and marketing teams, to target new markets and leads, onboard new customers, enhance the overall product and user experience, and manage and sustain ongoing relationships with existing customers. You will also be involved in developing, planning, and implementing strategies that contribute to our overall business objectives.
