Career Support

Cameo’s mission is to create the most personalized and authentic fan experiences on earth. Born in Chicago in 2017 and headquartered in the West Loop, Cameo is the marketplace that lets fans book personalized video messages from tens of thousands of actors, athletes, musicians, and creators—turning “impossible connections” into millions of magical moments. For a Gen-Z candidate raised on the creator economy, few missions feel more native: this is the company that made the selfie the new autograph.

Cameo is small, scrappy, and startup-fast—which is exactly where early-career talent grows quickly. The company is explicit that even as it scales, it keeps its startup mentality and prioritizes the continued development of its people, valuing creativity, hard work, collaboration, and direct feedback. Its Chicago-based internships put you straight into real work—owning creator relationships, talent strategy, and product experiences—so you come away with tangible ownership rather than busywork. Employees consistently praise a strong onboarding experience and the sense that their efforts have a material impact on the direction of the business.

Belonging is part of the fabric here. Cameo—known internally as the #CameoFameo—celebrates and embraces diversity, makes hiring decisions on merit, and has reached 50/50 gender parity on its global leadership team, a genuinely notable marker in tech. It’s an inclusive, welcoming environment with the perks of a globally known consumer startup, from health coverage and 401(k) to a fun downtown HQ. One honest note for candidates: as a startup that has weathered market swings, Cameo prizes adaptability, so it rewards people who thrive on change.

The behaviors that drive success are baked into Cameo’s values: understand the “why” behind the work, be intentional, keep things simple (complication is the enemy of scale), take ownership at every level, speak up with candid feedback, and obsess over creating unforgettable experiences.

For candidates who want purpose-driven, high-energy work at the center of the creator economy—plus real ownership and an inclusive, homegrown-Chicago culture—Cameo is a place to make impossible connections possible.
