We’re looking for a Senior Manager, Creator Marketing to execute best-in-class creator campaigns across a range of clients and industries. This role sits within our Creator Marketing team and is ideal for someone who thrives on owning creator partnerships from start to finish — from strategy and outreach to contracting, briefing, and performance analysis.

You’ll be at the intersection of brand partnerships, digital culture, and content strategy, developing campaigns that are both impactful and culturally relevant. Whether it’s a seasonal product moment or an always-on brand storytelling effort, you’ll play a key role in crafting campaigns that break through with authenticity and creativity.

This role is perfect for someone who balances operational precision with creative instincts — someone who’s just as comfortable managing contracts and timelines as they are coming up with unexpected creator moments that spark conversation.

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end execution of creator marketing campaigns, from initial outreach and vetting through contracting, briefing, and performance analysis with little oversight.
• Communicate with creators, talent managers, and agents to ensure timely deliverables and alignment with brand goals.
• Co-develop and implement strategies that align with client KPIs, target audience insights, and platform trends.
• Create detailed creator briefs and host creator briefing calls, ensuring all campaign deliverables, timelines, and messaging guidelines are communicated clearly with little oversight.
• Negotiate competitive rates and contract terms with talent, balancing value with client budgets and ROI goals with the assistance of business affairs.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with brand strategy, paid media, and creative teams to integrate creators seamlessly into broader marketing initiatives.
• Stay ahead of creator trends, cultural moments, and platform innovations to identify new partnership opportunities.
