About the Role

As a Principal on the Corporate Development & Strategy team, you’ll work closely with the CEO and senior leadership to lead cross-functional, strategic projects that shape the future of the MrBeast ecosystem. You’ll operate at the intersection of media, tech, business, and entrepreneurship—turning vision into execution, scaling new business lines, forging partnerships, and building systems that power growth.

What You’ll Do

• Lead cross-functional initiatives that don’t neatly fall into one department—new business creation, strategic partnerships, infrastructure and revenue operations. 

• Own complex projects from 0 to 1: sizing markets, modelling financial scenarios, creating execution roadmaps, launching pilots. 

• Translate successful pilots into scalable systems, processes or programs the business can operationalize. 

• Support strategic partnerships and deal evaluation efforts: structuring, negotiation, diligence, post-deal integration. 

• Develop financial frameworks and ROI analyses to inform investment, partnership or new business decisions for both technical and non-technical stakeholders. 

• Collaborate across content, product, operations, data, legal and finance to turn strategy into execution. 

• Drive alignment and clarity across leadership on the scope, progress and impact of high-priority projects. 

• Build and manage relationships with external partners, agencies or advisors. 

• Shape scalable operating models and strategic frameworks guiding how the org executes partnerships, new ventures or company-wide initiatives. 

• Leverage modern tools—including AI—to accelerate execution, automate workflows and increase productivity. 

• Track market dynamics across the creator economy, platforms and tech landscape to inform strategic bets. 

⸻

What You’ll Bring

• 6+ years of experience in top-tier investment banking, strategy consulting, venture capital, private equity, or operational roles at high-growth companies—at least 2 years in an internal or operator role. 

• Proven ability to take full ownership of complex, ambiguous projects from initial scoping through execution and delivery. 

• Exceptional analytical and financial modelling skills; able to synthesize data into actionable insights. 

• Strong communicator capable of influencing senior executives and cross-functional teams through clear, structured thinking. 

• Adept at structuring and managing partnerships or deals; ideally with exposure to the media or technology sectors. 

• Comfortable operating at all levels—from high-level strategy with executives to detailed execution alongside ICs. 

• Thrive in fast-paced, high-autonomy environments with evolving priorities. 

• Familiarity with modern AI tools and workflows—or strong curiosity and initiative to learn. 

• Deep curiosity about the creator economy, new business models and the future of content, tech and platforms. 

• Team-first mindset, strong judgment and instinct for high-leverage work.
