Deep understanding of creator-brand fit, content formats, platform dynamics, and the factors that influence campaign performance and conversion. A builder mindset with strong documentation and process-design skills, combined with a willingness to identify inefficiencies and take ownership of improving how work gets done. Comfortable working with structured operational systems such as Airtable, Notion, ClickUp, or similar platforms, with strong attention to workflow organization and data accuracy. Passion for the creator economy, with an active interest in industry trends, successful campaigns, emerging platforms, and evolving influencer marketing practices. Strong strategic thinking, problem-solving, organization, and decision-making skills, with the ability to manage complex client work while maintaining high execution standards. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence working with senior stakeholders and international clients, particularly US-based clients. Fluent English is required for effective collaboration across global teams and client relationships. Agency experience and exposure to proposals, pitching, or new-business development are considered a plus. A proactive, curious, and ownership-driven leadership style, with the ability to anticipate problems, bring fresh ideas, and motivate others toward strong outcomes. Benefits: Fully remote position with a remote-first, async-friendly working environment. Opportunity to work with high-impact global brands and complex influencer marketing programs.
