Spend some time on Rihanna’s Instagram, and you’re bound to see short videos and images of Jenn Rosales, her right-hand woman. Whether Jenn is see-sawing or sharing a laugh with one of the world’s biggest pop stars, she undoubtedly has one of the best jobs in the world. Though outlets have described her as both Rih’s manager and assistant, she calls herself a Project Manager at Fenty Corp. Since 2007 – right around the beginning of Rihanna’s career – she has worked with Rih, and has seen Robyn Fenty through her every transformation.
