Role

We’re looking for a Lead Influencer Manager to drive influencer strategy and execution across high-impact global client accounts and lead the team.

    Develop influencer and content strategies tailored to client objectives, defining formats, creator profiles, and creative direction that drive performance.

  • Team Management & Enablement

    Lead a team of Mid-level and Junior Influencer Managers, providing direct oversight, coaching, and mentorship. Own their performance and growth while ensuring the team consistently delivers high-quality results across accounts.

  • Campaign Ownership

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years in influencer marketing with a proven track record of delivering successful influencer campaigns

  • Ability to translate client briefs into influencer strategies, creative direction, and execution plans

  • Confident, clear communicator with senior stakeholders, especially US-based clients. Fluent English is a must

  • Able to guide and review work from Mid-level and Junior IMs while remaining hands-on in execution
