We frame job descriptions at RTS as a set of problems we want to solve. We're a startup, which means we don't have all of the answers today, and like any startup, we don't know the final form of our business yet. Justin TV became Social Cam and then became Twitch - we will go through our own evolution. We do know that our business is going to be talent-focused and then defined by the products and projects we take on with our talent.
First and foremost, we want to hire people who empathize with the problems we want to solve and, secondly, are creative and talented enough to jump on board and try to solve them with us. If you are reading this, we hope that person is you! Below is the list of problems we would like to solve with you.
Problems we would like you to help solve beyond being a talent manager:
- How do we make creators' lives better?
- How do they address burnout and stream/life balance?
- How can they focus more of their time on content versus running their business?
- How do we help filter their business ideas, pick winners and grow them?
- How can we make creators more money?
- How can we encourage them to engage in new revenue streams?
- Using our resources to build and invest, what revenue products should we scope out and how do we pick the right priorities on what to build?
- How can we grow our creators’ brands?
- How can we use PR to grow and strengthen our creators’ brand identities?
- How do we help them in times of brand crisis?
- How can we empower our creators to use their platform for positive social impact?

- What are the high-level goals we should set for creators?
- What are the qualitative/quantitative metrics we should pay specific attention to when evaluating progress?
- What are the steps our creators need to take for their brands to sustain ventures?
- As we work to scale our business, which aspects of management should be standardized, versus kept bespoke per creator?
