This week’s top jobs reveal a clear direction for where the creator economy is heading — and it’s all about leadership. From creator partnerships to marketing strategy and sales management, the most in-demand roles point to a maturing industry that’s scaling up and professionalizing fast.

Leadership is in demand

The creator economy is no longer just about individual content creators — it’s about the teams, platforms, and ecosystems that support them. Two of the top three most-viewed roles this week were executive-level positions:

  • Head of Creator Success at Thunkable (San Francisco)
  • Global Head of Marketing at Moonbug Entertainment (Los Angeles)

These roles are designed to build systems and strategies that help creators thrive at scale. The surge in executive hiring shows that companies are investing in leadership that can balance community growth with sustainable business models.

A global hiring mindset

This week’s list also reinforces that the creator economy is truly borderless. While Thunkable and Moonbug represent major U.S. markets, Bettermode’s BDR Manager (Player-Coach) role is remote from Canada, emphasizing flexibility and access to international talent.

Companies are prioritizing skills and experience over geography — a sign that the future of work in the creator economy is global-first. Teams are being built across continents, with leaders managing cross-border collaboration and cultural fluency as standard practice.

The creator economy is diversifying

What used to be a niche corner of entertainment and social media has evolved into a multi-industry driver. The week’s top jobs span tech (Thunkable), entertainment (Moonbug), and SaaS (Bettermode) — proof that “creator economy” now means everything from product development to marketing to customer success.

This diversification shows how deeply creator-driven thinking has integrated into business strategy. Whether it’s enabling creators through no-code tools, expanding global IP, or building sales teams that serve creator-led brands, the opportunities are widening fast.

The takeaway

Leadership, flexibility, and cross-industry integration are defining the next phase of growth in the creator economy. As companies scale, they’re not just looking for creators — they’re looking for the people who can build for creators.
