Account Executive, Strategic Partnerships Creators

Agentio, New York, NY, USA

Job type: Full Time


Account Executive On Creator Partnerships Team

This is not a role for someone who waits for inbound leads, relies on a warm intro, or needs hand-holding to hit quota. This is a role for someone who wakes up thinking about their pipeline, uses AI like a weapon, and closes deals that most people don't even know how to get into.
As an Account Executive on our Creator Partnerships team, you'll own the supply side of Agentio's marketplace

building direct relationships with the world's most influential creators and the C-suite leaders at top talent management firms. You'll be closing partnerships worth hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars, and you'll be doing it fast, at volume, with zero excuses.
We're a team of five today. The people who perform here won't just hit quota

they'll define what great looks like and build the team around it.
What You'll Do

Hunt relentlessly.

You own a large outbound pipeline and you're responsible for filling it, moving it, and closing it. No lead gen team. No hand-offs. You build from scratch and you love it.
Execute multichannel outreach at high velocity.

Email sequences, LinkedIn, phone, in-person, referrals, client entertainment

you use every channel and you use AI to do it faster and better than anyone else in the market.
Close complex, high-value deals.

You're selling to CEOs, founders, and executives at leading creator management firms. This requires executive presence, strategic thinking, and the ability to run a real sales process

not just relationship management.
Use AI as your unfair advantage.

You don't send generic outreach. You use AI tools to research, personalize, prioritize, and follow up at a scale that would take most reps three times as long. You're constantly testing new tools and automations to sharpen your edge.
Become a genuine expert.

You deeply understand creator economics, management structures, platform dynamics, and what actually drives decision-making in this space. You don't just pitch

you consult.
Feed the product roadmap.

Your frontline conversations with creators and managers directly shape what we build. You have strong opinions and you share them.
Scale yourself and others.

High performers here get to build. Prove yourself and you'll have the opportunity to lead teams, expand into new verticals, and take on strategic growth initiatives.
What We're Looking For

Required
4+ years of quota-carrying, outbound-heavy sales experience at a high-growth startup

SaaS, marketplace, tech, or creator economy

A track record of not just hitting quota, but hunting it down

you have stories of building pipeline from nothing and closing against the odds

AI-native: you are actively using AI tools today to prospect, personalize outreach, manage your pipeline, and find efficiency everywhere. This is non-negotiable.

High-volume prospecting DNA

whether that came from an SDR/BDR background or just how you operate, you understand the discipline and process behind consistent top-of-funnel generation

Comfortable operating with ambiguity and speed; you build the plane while flying it and you prefer it that way

Exceptional at opening cold doors and building real trust quickly

with creators, managers, and executives alike

Nice to Have
Existing relationships in the creator economy, influencer marketing, or digital media

Experience selling into or working with management firms, agencies, or media companies

SDR/BDR background

we deeply value the grit and process discipline that comes from high-volume prospecting roles

Success Metrics

You'll be measured on partnership volume, creator onboarding quality, and relationship depth. Your pipeline activity, outreach velocity, and close rate are visible and they matter. This is a performance-first culture

your output determines your trajectory here.
