Responsibilities

• Function as the day-to-day liaison between creators and RSV’s internal teams, ensuring clear communication, alignment, and accountability.
• Partner with clients to identify and develop new monetization opportunities — including spin-off shows, premium subscription tiers, and audience-driven products — and collaborate with Creator Operations and Audience Development to bring these concepts to market.
• Participate in new client brainstorms to help develop content ideas and formats for original podcasts, bringing cross-portfolio perspective and knowledge of what's resonating in the creator economy.
• Gather creator goals, content plans, constraints, and feedback; synthesize into actionable next steps that help RSV’s creator service teams shape recommendations.
• Socialize RSV recommendations to creators and their teams, clarify priorities, and drive adoption through structured plans, timelines, and check-ins.
• Cook up execution across internal RSV teams (growth, production, operations, marketing, sales) to ensure deliverables, publishing needs, and optimization tasks are completed on time.
• Run regular partner business reviews: align on goals/KPIs, share performance readouts and insights from the growth team, and track progress against action plans.
• Identify and triage risks/opportunities (content supply, publishing consistency, platform changes, operational blockers), escalating as needed to keep partners on track.
• Partner with teams managing internal and third party platforms to coordinate distribution, ensure creator alignment, and support performance improvements.
• Support monetization initiatives by ensuring creators are prepared for sponsorship/ad opportunities and that internal teams have what they need to execute.
