Creator Growth Manager

Description

The role

We’re deepening our commitment to strategic, high-touch account management for our creators. We’re looking for a Creator Growth Manager to act as a trusted advisor to our highest-impact accounts—helping them grow their businesses by optimizing their email strategy and fully leveraging Kit.

This is a full-time individual contributor (IC) role ideal for someone who loves building meaningful relationships, spotting growth opportunities, translating customer goals into actionable strategies, and scaling what works.

Your support system

You’ll report to Alyssa Dulin, the Sr. Manager of Creator Growth and Deliverability, and collaborate closely with Creator Growth Managers, Deliverability Specialist, Sales and Migration Team Members, and our Product Managers.

What you'll do

• First Week: Dive into our core systems, including Kit’s platform, internal success workflows, and reporting tools. Take part in Get To Know You’s (GTKYs) to meet our distributed team and build foundational context on our company culture and creator community.
• First Month: Begin shadowing customer calls and reviewing creator portfolios to understand our customer segmentation, goals, and success benchmarks. Start managing a small group of creators who receive pooled services to get hands-on with Kit’s success methodology and internal playbooks. While you won’t own a renewal and expansion quota from Day One, you will be expected to influence revenue through retaining and expanding customers. As a team, we’re in the process of implementing team and individual renewal and expansion targets
• First Six Months: Own a portfolio of 30-40 high-value (~$20k ARR) creator accounts, delivering proactive, strategic guidance that drives measurable business outcomes like retention and expansion. Establish strong relationships with creators and their teams built on trust and credibility. Collaborate cross-functionally to ensure creator needs are surfaced internally, and partner with Product, Marketing, and Support to improve the creator experience. Collaboratively serve 200-300 creators who receive pooled services from our team. Drive feature adoption and increase customer engagement.
• First Year: Become a strategic pillar on the Creator Growth team. Develop account plans and success strategies that support scalable growth across your portfolio. Identify patterns in creator needs, surface insights to the broader team, and contribute to evolving our customer success framework as we scale.
