Bluesky

About The Position

Conversations and communities are moving to Bluesky, and we need someone to
accelerate that shift. As Entertainment Partnerships Manager, you'll be the
connective tissue between Bluesky and the outside world: building relationships
with online communities to make sure they don't just show up on Bluesky but
thrive here.
You should be equally comfortable working with high-profile influencers as you
are with grassroots fandoms, or sitting with our product engineers to shape how
entertainment conversations work on the platform. You'll work closely with the
partnerships lead and cross-functionally with growth and product teams to turn
Bluesky into the place for real-time connection.
You’ll also be the conduit between entertainment partners and the Bluesky team.
This role demands taste—the ability to spot when a pain point reveals a
platform-wide gap, when a feature request from one partner could transform how
we serve all entertainment communities, and how to translate partner
conversations into crisp product and growth priorities.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in content partnerships, creator/talent management, or business development roles.
• Have deep knowledge of the social content ecosystem. You have existing relationships and know how to build new ones quickly.
• Have worked in high-velocity startup environments where you ship fast and iterate often.
• Are fluent in social — you don’t just “manage partnerships,” you get the internet
• Have a track record of leading campaigns that moved the needle on awareness, sentiment, and/or growth
• Can operate autonomously, move fast, and deliver results in ambiguous or rapidly evolving spaces

Nice To Haves

• Are already familiar with Bluesky, AT Protocol, or the decentralized social landscape
• You have experience with the commercial aspects of the content industry
• You’ve worked directly in entertainment media, at a rightsholders, or at an agency
• Can show us a portfolio of partnerships campaigns you’ve previously worked on

Responsibilities

• Develop and manage relationships with key stakeholders in the entertainment-social space.
• Grow our communities through programmatic activations during live events.
• Own planning and execution for how Bluesky engages with major sporting events, across IRL and digital campaigns.
• Collaborate cross-functionally. Work with product, marketing, and comms teams to translate partner insights into actionable recommendations. Advocate for community needs internally.
• Track and report on performance. Define success metrics for partnerships, track your inputs and outputs, and report clearly on what's working. Your data will inform our priorities and resource allocation.
• Leverage data to develop an engagement strategy that identifies opportunities to strengthen how we serve our community of creators
