About The Role

HotCult is building a current pod focused on Distribution & Creator, bringing together content distribution, social-first media properties, and creator/talent partnerships under one roof. The idea is to build owned or co-owned media and creator-led brands — properties with their own audience, voice, and distribution engine that stand on their own, not simply a service line delivering client work. Think publisher-style or creator-first media brands that generate their own attention, community, and monetization independent of any single client mandate.

We're looking for someone to lead and build this pod from the ground up defining its shape, hiring the team, setting up the operating model, and owning its P&L; and growth. This is a builder's role: equal parts strategist, operator, and hands-on leader.

What You'll Own

Pod strategy & build-out — define the pod's charter, revenue model, and roadmap; decide what gets built in-house vs. partnered vs. acquired
Team building — hire and structure the pod (content, distribution, creator partnerships, ops)



as it scales from founding team to full function
Distribution strategy — grow owned channels and audience across platforms (Instagram, YouTube, X, emerging platforms); own the playbook for what makes content travel
Events — build IRL/experiential touchpoints as an extension of the pod's owned properties, driving community and additional monetization
Creator ecosystem — build and manage a creator/talent network — sourcing, partnerships, negotiations, and long-term relationships with creators relevant to the pod's audience
Revenue & P&L; — own the pod's revenue and EBITDA targets; identify and close monetization opportunities (brand partnerships, licensing, creator deals, owned IP)
Cross-pod collaboration — work closely with HotCult's other pods (solutioning, creative, strategy) to identify synergies — e.g., distribution support for client work, creator access for brand campaigns
Reporting & accountability — repres
