GIG Companies
Head of Ventures - Nashville (music)
GIG Companies, Nashville, Tennessee, United States, 37247
Good Influence Group (GIG) is a creator venture development firm that builds, launches, and scales creator-led brands and businesses. We’ve developed 1,000+ products, generated $500M+ in sales, and work behind the scenes to help the world’s top creators, athletes, artists, and entertainers transform their influence into long-lasting companies.
Now, we’re expanding into Nashville. Music is one of the most powerful cultural forces in the world — and we believe artists should own more than their masters; they should own the consumer products and lifestyle brands their fans bring into their everyday lives.
The Role
We’re hiring a Head of Ventures, Nashville to lead our expansion into the music business. Based in Nashville, this leader will work exclusively with country artists and music-driven talent to develop creator-owned consumer products and lifestyle brands. You’ll be responsible for driving the full venture development process — identifying whitespace opportunities, building business cases, structuring deals, and leading launches that align with both the artist’s influence and their audience’s demand. Responsibilities
Build and manage relationships with country artists, managers, labels, and agencies. Source new venture opportunities across Nashville’s music ecosystem. Negotiate deal terms, structures, and equity splits that maximize long-term value for creators. Analyze audience data, market trends, and category gaps to identify product-market fit. Translate artist influence into scalable businesses rather than one-off brand deals. Partner with GIG’s internal teams (product, creative, operations) to bring ventures from idea to market. Establish Nashville as GIG’s hub for music ventures. Develop and execute growth strategies to ensure ventures scale profitably. Focus on equity, ownership, and sustainability to build long-term enterprise value for artists. Requirements
7–10+ years of experience in business development, venture building, entertainment, or brand strategy. Strong network and deep connectivity within Nashville’s music industry — artists, managers, labels, and agencies. Proven track record of originating, structuring, and closing partnerships. Entrepreneurial mindset: resourceful, strategic, data-driven, and execution-focused. Expertise in consumer products, lifestyle brands, and the creator economy. A builder at heart who thrives in fast-moving, high-growth environments. What We Offer
Lead the creator economy shift happening inside the music industry. Develop ventures with some of the biggest names in country music. Work with a proven team that has scaled brands to hundreds of millions in revenue. Play a pivotal role in expanding GIG’s national footprint and making Nashville a flagship market. We are an equal opportunities employer and welcome applications from all qualified candidates.
