Panel builds performance-driven creator programs for its clients. Creators in our network promote client offers on a performance basis; no flat fees, no capped deals. CSM IV is the top of Panel's individual contributor track. At this level, you're not just managing a book — you're helping shape how the entire CSM team operates.

This role might be for you if:

• You've built a career in performance-driven creator or talent management and you're ready to do it at the highest level

• You want a comp structure where your floor reflects your track record and your ceiling is determined by your book

• Mentorship isn't something you do on the side; it's part of how you operate

You will:

• Manage one of Panel's highest-performing creator books with autonomy and precision

• Formally mentor CSM I, II, and III colleagues with regular touchpoints and real accountability

• Play a key role in onboarding new CSMs and helping them accelerate through their ramp

• Serve as the first escalation point for complex deals, difficult creator situations, and team questions

• Work with leadership to identify patterns, opportunities, and team needs

• Set the standard for what great looks like at Panel

• Hit individual profit goals while actively lifting the team's collective performance

What We're Looking For:

• 5–8 years in creator management, talent representation, or performance/affiliate marketing

• Senior-level experience managing a large, high-value book of creator or talent relationships

• Deep expertise in CPA, affiliate, and performance deal structures

• Experience at a performance-first company or agency is required; candidates from flat-fee-only backgrounds will not be considered for this level

• A demonstrated track record of mentoring and developing other people on your team

What You'll Earn

• $6,000/month base

• 15% commission on all profit your creators generate

• 17% commission in months when the Creator Team hits its collective goal

• Estimated OTE at steady state: $162,000 – $204,000+ (scales with book performance)

• Tenure bonus at Year 5 (if not already received)

Benefits & Perks

• Unlimited PTO and paid holidays: take the time you need to recharge

• Work remote or hybrid from our New York City office

• Performance-based incentives: when goals are reached and eligibility requirements are met, you share in the upside

• Learning and development support: Panel covers relevant materials and courses to help you grow

• Company offsites and team retreats: join the team for fun, connection, and relaxation

CSM IV is the next step for CSM III's who have completed 3 years at Panel, met eligibility requirements, and met their individual goals in 6+ of the last 12 months. Promotion eligibility is reviewed bi-yearly.
