Influencer Marketing Manager

Responsibilities

• Secure strategic partners
• Identify, outreach, and close deals with the most impactful influencers across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Own these relationships end-to-end — from first contact to long-term performance.
• Drive the pipeline
• Influencer Strategy: Develop campaigns that map to specific creator archetypes and activation formats, partnering closely with the Category Marketing team.
• Outreach: Source and reach creators through email, DM, or whatever creative channel gets results.
• Dealmaking: Negotiate contracts in line with CAC, FTB, and LTV targets. Drive the internal approval process to signature.
• Account Management: Provide white glove support to partners, ensuring a strong product understanding, high-quality content, on-time delivery, and prompt payment.
• Scale growth
• Build and manage a scalable creator roster — from macro and top-tier relationships that drive outsized impact to a bench of mid-tier creators that can be activated at volume.

Requirements

• 4+ years of influencer marketing experience
• Proven track record running end-to-end influencer campaigns that deliver performance-driven results — you\'ve owned the full deal lifecycle from sourcing through execution.
• Experience managing top-tier and macro creator relationships, with the instincts to know when to push, when to hold, and how to unlock outsized value from a partnership.
• Comfortable operating across creator tiers — you can work a macro deal and build a mid-tier roster in the same week.
• Experience in a high-growth organization where you\'ve had to own a lot, move fast, and figure things out — adapting to a fast-paced environment and pivoting quickly as needed.
• You\'re immersed in internet culture and can use that knowledge to identify trends, creators, and opportunities for the Whatnot brand to build and grow.
• Strong at writing creative briefs and providing clear direction to creators — you know what good content looks like and can articulate why.
• Deeply analytical and comfortable using data to drive decisions, iterate on strategy, and report out on program performance.
• You thrive in ambiguity. You can take an open-ended challenge, form a point of view, and execute — and you\'re just as comfortable improving an existing playbook as you are building a new one.
• You\'re scrappy and flexible. You get in the weeds and no job is too small.
