Role Overview

We're on the hunt for an Influencer Marketing Strategist, someone who's just as fluent in scouting talent as they are in crafting compelling creator-led content. This is a hybrid role for someone who thrives in both creative and campaign execution. You'll lead influencer-led campaigns end-to-end: from sourcing and briefing creators, to co-ideating content, writing scripts, and overseeing delivery.

You're not just a relationship manager, you're a content lover, a pop culture addict, and a hands-on campaign lead who can turn an influencer partnership into a scroll-stopping moment.

Creative Strategy & Ideation

- Ideate and conceptualize influencer-led content campaigns with a strong cultural hook.
- Co-create content ideas with creators ensuring alignment with brand objectives while allowing creator authenticity.
- Write influencer briefs, concept decks, video hooks, content outlines, and scripts when needed.
- Collaborate with internal creative teams (copy, video, design) to ensure influencer content is seamlessly integrated with broader campaigns.

Trend Intelligence & Content Culture

- Stay deeply immersed in social media platforms and creator culture, Reels, Shorts, X, YouTube.
- Spot and leverage viral trends, emerging content formats, and up-and-coming creators.
- Bring fresh, culturally relevant POVs to campaign ideation and brand storytelling.

Reporting & Optimization

- Track campaign performance and content engagement across influencer deliverables.
- Provide input on what's working and what can be improved creatively and strategically.
- Collaborate with performance teams to optimize future content based on results.

Qualifications:

- 24 years of experience in influencer marketing, creator partnerships, or branded content.
- Experience working in an agency or creator-led production environment.
- Strong creative instincts with experience writing content concepts, scripts, or creative briefs.
- Deep understanding of the influencer landscape from micro to mega, across various niches.
- Excellent taste in content, strong pop culture awareness, and obsession with platform-native storytelling.
- Proactive, organized, and able to manage multiple campaigns simultaneously.
- Confident in working directly with both creators and clients.
- Understanding of performance marketing and paid amplification of influencer content.
- Familiarity with influencer campaign platforms/tools.
