ABOUT THE ROLE

At 1DS Collective, the Influencer Marketing Manager runs end-to-end influencer campaigns, UGC programs, and brand partnerships for our clients. You own the creator side of the business, from strategy through sourcing, negotiation, execution, and reporting. You build and manage rosters of influencers and UGC creators, deliver campaigns that move the needle (not vanity activations), and unlock brand partnership opportunities that extend what our clients can do beyond organic content.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN

• Sourcing, vetting, and negotiating with creators across macro, mid-tier, micro, and nano tiers

• Running and nurturing large creator rosters (150+), tracking, activating, and re-engaging

• Running the UGC service end to end, including sourcing UGC creators, briefing them, managing deliverables, and delivering content to clients

• Managing brand partnership opportunities for clients, identifying the right partners, handling outreach, negotiating terms, and running partnerships through to execution

• Writing creator briefs, content guidelines, and campaign deliverables
