VP, Brand Partnerships

Devotion builds and operates large-scale creator ecosystems for the world's most ambitious consumer brands. Featured in Vogue as the company built for the post-follower era, we combine a proprietary AI platform, agentic workflow infrastructure, and deep brand and cultural expertise to run ambassador programs, gifting engines, incentive frameworks, and community infrastructure to 10x the amount of creator content our clients can produce without compromising brand safety or quality.

Founded by former Tik Tok executive Jonathan Kroopf and Parade founder Cami Téllez, Devotion has generated over a billion impressions, engaged tens of thousands of creators, and reached seven-figure revenue. We're backed by top-tier venture investors and founders from Away, Ramp, and Twitch.

We're hiring a VP of Brand Partnerships to help lead the next stage of Devotion's growth.

This is a revenue-owning role for someone who knows how to open doors, build relationships with senior marketers, and turn those relationships into meaningful, long-term partnerships. You'll own the sales cycle from the first conversation through close, working with brands and agencies to understand where their creator strategy is falling short and showing them a fundamentally different way to operate.

Devotion isn't built around one-off influencer campaigns. We build the infrastructure brands use to activate hundreds or thousands of creators 'll need to be able to sell that vision, translate it into a clear business case, and help brands rethink what creator marketing can look like when it operates as an always-on growth channel rather than a series of disconnected campaigns.

You'll work closely with Devotion's founders, strategy, account leadership, creator teams, and product organization to bring new partners into the business and help shape how we go to market as the company scales.

• Lead discovery with prospective partners, understand their business and marketing challenges, and translate Devotion's platform and operating model into solutions tied to real brand objectives.

• Partner with strategy and account leadership to ensure what we sell is ambitious, executable, and capable of producing measurable results.
• Build disciplined pipeline management, forecasting, and reporting as Devotion's commercial organization scales.
• Help define Devotion's go-to-market playbook, including target accounts, vertical strategy, outreach, sales materials, positioning, and repeatable sales processes.
• Bring market feedback directly into the company, helping product, strategy, and leadership understand what brands are asking for, where budgets are moving, and where Devotion has an opportunity to lead.
• Represent Devotion externally at industry events, agency meetings, brand conversations, and within the broader creator and marketing community.
• Over time, help build and develop the Brand Partnerships organization as revenue and the client base grow.

• You have 8+ years of experience across brand partnerships, sales, business development, digital media, creator marketing, influencer marketing, social, advertising, or an adjacent space.
• You have a proven track record of generating meaningful new revenue and closing complex deals with major brands and/or agencies.
• You already have relationships across the brand and agency ecosystem and know how to build new ones without waiting for inbound leads.
