Your Role
Your role will focus on working with talented, highly followed artists and implementing a range of strategies for them, from launching drops to running pop-up experiences to putting artists together to create collaborations that drive engagement to new heights.
Key Requirements
First and foremost, you should have business development skills. Ideally, you should have a strong knowledge of social media, behavioral science, and the art industry. You might not have all of those things, and we can teach you, but above all else, you need to have a very strong desire to lead the once-in-a-generation disruptive change that the industry is experiencing right now. It is so disruptive, we find that most artists are completely unaware it is even happening! And your job is to show them it is, and to help them join this change.
