About Tape

• Tape is building the media infrastructure for how IRL culture is discovered, shared, and amplified.
• The founding team includes experienced media, technology, and entertainment executives.
• We're looking for a Community Lead to help grow Tape's membership, creator network, and cultural influence.

The Role

Tape is looking for a Community Lead to oversee three of our most important growth engines: our social audience, our community of cultural tastemakers, and our creator amplification programs.

You will lead Tape's social presence, recruit and activate a network of creators and cultural insiders, and develop creator-led opportunities for partners. Success in this role means growing our membership, expanding our creator community, increasing content creation and engagement, and generating new partnership opportunities.

This is a highly entrepreneurial role with significant ownership and visibility across the business.

You live at the intersection of culture, content, community, and commerce. You're equally comfortable building a content strategy, cultivating creator relationships, and showing up at events to make sure great experiences get discovered and shared.

What You'll Do

Social Growth

• Lead Tape's social strategy across Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, and emerging platforms.
• Create and optimize content that drives audience growth, engagement, and brand awareness.
• Capture and produce content from events, partnerships, and cultural moments.
• Analyze performance and continuously test new formats and growth opportunities.

Community Growth

Partnerships & Revenue

• Develop relationships with brands, venues, festivals, and cultural organizations looking to engage creators and reach culture-forward audiences.
• Help develop creator-led solutions for brands, venues, festivals, and cultural organizations.
• Collaborate across partnerships, marketing, and content teams.
• Track KPIs and identify opportunities to scale audience, creator, and revenue growth.

What We're Looking For

• 3–7+ years of experience in social media, creator partnerships, community building, or audience development.
• Proven success growing social audiences, communities, or consumer brands.
• Deep understanding of social platforms, creator ecosystems, content strategy, and community-led growth.
• Strong content creation, storytelling, and copywriting skills.
• Experience building relationships with creators, influencers, artists, or cultural communities.
• Data-driven, highly organized, and comfortable operating in a startup environment.
• Passion for culture, experiences, and discovering what's next.
• Existing relationships within NYC creative, media, arts, hospitality, music, fashion, or nightlife communities.
• Experience supporting influencer campaigns, creator activations, or brand partnerships.
• Familiarity with Canva, CapCut, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar tools.

Success in This Role

• Success will be measured by audience growth, creator community growth, creator participation, content output, engagement, and new partnership opportunities.
• This role has the potential to evolve into a broader community and creator leadership position as Tape grows.
