1 week ago
TopstepTV is leveling up from a trading channel into a digital entertainment brand where futures traders, market watchers, finance fans, and "chronically online" culture all collide.

- Has experience securing rights & licenses, negotiating terms, and tracking permissions across a fast-moving production environment.
- Is fluent in digital media, creator culture, and the rules that govern licensed content across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and broadcast.
- Can confidently coordinate schedules, vendors, releases, and production ops without losing the thread.
- Moves quickly, communicates clearly, and takes pride in invisible but critical work that protects the brand.
If you're organized, a great communicator, and at home in a production environment, you'll thrive here.
