About this role

Ceartas is a digital brand protection company built by Midnight Labs, backed by The Sidemen and Sony Innovation Fund. We protect creators, brands, and public figures from the threats that damage both their revenue and reputation, covering copyright infringement, impersonation, deepfakes, doxxing, trademark misuse, counterfeit merchandise, and live streaming piracy across social media, Google, marketplaces, and the open web. Whether it's stolen content being sold behind someone else's paywall, a fake account impersonating a creator, or unauthorised merchandise carrying someone's image or trademark, we find it and we remove it.

🚀 The Role

A pure pipeline-generation role. You'll research, identify, and reach out to high-value prospects across a wide range of ICPs. From individual creators to talent agencies to enterprise brand teams and hand a qualified pipeline to our Account Executives to close. You'll work closely with the sales team to keep opportunities moving, with direct access to leadership and real visibility into how deals get won.

Target Audiences

- Creator & talent agencies: OnlyFans and adult content creator management agencies
- Celebrity & athlete management: Mainstream talent, celebrity, and athlete management firms

- Researching and identifying high-value prospects, platforms, agencies, and mainstream networks across target industries
- Sourcing and building out prospect data: company details, decision-makers, email addresses, and social profiles
- Running outbound prospecting through email and social channels to generate qualified opportunities
- Building and maintaining accurate, up-to-date prospect lists across CRM and research tools

Why This Matters

The creator economy is worth over $250B and growing, and almost none of it is protected. Creators, athletes, celebrities, and brands are waking up to the fact that their content, identity, and likeness are being stolen and abused at scale. You're the person who opens the door, finds the opportunity, builds the pipeline, and sets the team up to close the deal and protect the creator.
