Partnerships Manager, Plush

Youtooz creates designer toys for the heroes and role models of the internet — Youtubers, Instagram influencers, celebrities, athletes, rappers, and more. Our mission is to bring the people you already love to watch and keep up with on the internet in real life, on your desk at work, your shelf in your bedroom or even in your living room for everyone to see. Youtooz are incredibly personal and unique to each creator and customer and comes with a variety of unique perks.

Since our launch in 2019, we’ve released more than 1000 unique products and have built an amazing community of creators, artists and fans that continue to drive our mission forward. We believe that together, we can create joy in anything.

Each Youtooz we bring to life starts with a partner. You will be responsible for researching, outreach, onboarding and managing creator partners inside of our plush department.
