Company mission
To put creators in control of their work and their futures by strengthening the bond between them and their communities.
Role
Who you are
- Experience in a creator-facing, customer success, or SMB advising role, or equivalent experience
- A track record of advising creators or small businesses on growth, with measurable results
- The ability to quickly understand a creator’s business and offer tangible, tactical recommendations on the spot
- Strong attention to detail and follow-through; you'll be tracking consults, outreach, and follow-up across a growing pipeline
- Strong presence on video calls and a customer-success mentality; you treat every creator's growth as your own win
- Comfort owning a high-volume calendar directly (including renegotiating conflicts) while keeping each interaction feeling personal, not transactional
- Comfort operating in an ambiguous, evolving program and adapting to new formats as they're piloted
- Fluency with CRM/outreach tools (Salesforce, Airtable, or equivalent)
- If you’re excited about a role but your past experience doesn’t match with every bullet point outlined above, we strongly encourage you to apply anyway. If you’re a creator at heart, are energized by our mission, and share our company values, we’d love to hear from you
Desirable
- Experience at a creator platform, MCN, or creator-focused startup
- Experience advising SMB or small business owners on growth
What the job involves
- This role is remote on a ~20 hour/week contract basis
- We're continuing to invest heavily in building the best creator platform with the best team in the creator economy and are looking for a Creator Growth Strategist (Contract) to support our mission
- Creator Growth exists to help Patreon's creators build sustainable, growing businesses on the platform. We work across scaled programming and 1:1 strategic support, meeting creators where they are — from their first fan to their biggest year yet
- We're looking for a part-time Creator Growth Strategist to help scale a 1:1 growth consults program supporting small and medium sized creators
- You'll run one-time strategic growth consults, helping creators walk away with clear, tactical next steps for growing their business on Patreon
- For ~20 hours a week, you'll own follow-up to make sure that advice gets acted on, run a recurring outreach cadence to keep the pipeline full, and help pilot new formats for 1:1 support as the program scales
Our take
Creatives face two major struggles in the online space: getting eyes (or ears) on their work, and getting paid for it. Patreon was founded to solve both problems with a platform that would provide a space for creators to host and promote their work, and offer supporters a way to show their support through a regular paid subscription.
Patreon has been a leader in the content subscription space since its founding, but recently has come under pressure from newer rivals such as Substack and Ko-fi. It has maintained its position by shifting its focus from being primarily a marketplace for supporters to find creatives that interest them to being a toolbox for content creators to promote their work. While the site's creatives value this approach it remains to be seen whether Patreon will be able to return to the growth it was enjoying in previous years.
Despite the inroads made by competitors and a troubling global economic outlook making finances tougher for content creators and their supporters, Patreon is still a leader in its space, with over 250,000 active creators having made $3.5B through the platform.
