SuperOrdinary is building the future of branded content where creators, storytelling, and commerce converge. We are hiring a Senior Manager, Branded Content Partnerships to lead and scale our branded content and multi-episode (e.g., microdrama) offering.

This is not a traditional partnerships role. This person will act as a creative deal closer — owning revenue while also leading ideation, pitching, and selling breakthrough content concepts directly to brands. You will be the face of SuperOrdinary in the room, translating business goals into content that drives both cultural relevance and measurable commerce impact, particularly across TikTok.

Ideal Profile

• 6–10+ years in branded content, creative strategy, partnerships, or agency environments
• Proven ability to sell creative ideas and close deals
• Strong creative instincts — able to ideate, pressure-test, and elevate concepts in real time
• Comfortable leading high-stakes client conversations and presentations
• Deep understanding of creator ecosystems and short-form content platforms
• Experience tying content to business outcomes (revenue, conversion, growth)
• Hybrid mindset: part creative, part operator, part seller
• Thrives in fast-paced, build-from-zero environments

What Success Looks Like

• Becomes the go-to creative and commercial lead in all branded content conversations
