Head of Ventures - Nashville (music) Job at GIG Companies in Nashville

Good Influence Group (GIG) is a creator venture development firm that builds, launches, and scales creator-led brands and businesses. We’ve developed 1,000+ products, generated $500M+ in sales, and work behind the scenes to help the world’s top creators, athletes, artists, and entertainers transform their influence into long-lasting companies.

Now, we’re expanding into Nashville. Music is one of the most powerful cultural forces in the world — and we believe artists should own more than their masters; they should own the consumer products and lifestyle brands their fans bring into their everyday lives.

The Role

We’re hiring a Head of Ventures, Nashville to lead our expansion into the music business. Based in Nashville, this leader will work exclusively with country artists and music-driven talent to develop creator-owned consumer products and lifestyle brands.

You’ll be responsible for driving the full venture development process — identifying whitespace opportunities, building business cases, structuring deals, and leading launches that align with both the artist’s influence and their audience’s demand.

Responsibilities

• Build and manage relationships with country artists, managers, labels, and agencies.
• Source new venture opportunities across Nashville’s music ecosystem.
• Negotiate deal terms, structures, and equity splits that maximize long-term value for creators.
• Analyze audience data, market trends, and category gaps to identify product-market fit.
• Translate artist influence into scalable businesses rather than one-off brand deals.
• Partner with GIG’s internal teams (product, creative, operations) to bring ventures from idea to market.
• Establish Nashville as GIG’s hub for music ventures.
• Develop and execute growth strategies to ensure ventures scale profitably.
• Focus on equity, ownership, and sustainability to build long-term enterprise value for artists.

Requirements

• 7–10+ years of experience in business development, venture building, entertainment, or brand strategy.
• Strong network and deep connectivity within Nashville’s music industry — artists, managers, labels, and agencies.
• Proven track record of originating, structuring, and closing partnerships.
• Entrepreneurial mindset: resourceful, strategic, data-driven, and execution-focused.
• Expertise in consumer products, lifestyle brands, and the creator economy.
• A builder at heart who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments.

What We Offer

• Lead the creator economy shift happening inside the music industry.
• Develop ventures with some of the biggest names in country music.
• Work with a proven team that has scaled brands to hundreds of millions in revenue.
• Play a pivotal role in expanding GIG’s national footprint and making Nashville a flagship market.

We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
