Influencer Coordinator

Description:

• The Influencer Coordinator is at the core of our team. This role works closely with social media influencers around the world to recruit, negotiate, contract and manage influencers’ work on campaigns. You’ll take the time to understand the client’s needs and then hand-pick the very best influencers, big and small, for KOL to represent. You’ll work closely with the COO to make sure every step of a campaign is executed smoothly, and that each influencer has all they need to succeed.

What Makes You a Great Fit for This Role (Requirements)

• Experienced. At least 1-2 years of professional experience. Prior agency experience is preferred but not required.
• A communicator. You err on the side of over-communicating. Whether it’s over email, on the phone, or in person—with your clients or with your teammates—you constantly keep the extended team in the loop, and you’re not afraid to ask questions and speak up.
• Detailed. You love to stay organized, and project management is a strength for you. No detail is too small.
• Cool under pressure. You’re not afraid of a deadline, and you’re comfortable navigating challenging conversations with clients.
• A people person. You’re excited to build new relationships, and you’re comfortable, friendly and direct in your communications with lots of different types of people.
• Passionate about social media. You’re going to be spending a lot of time looking at Instagram pages and watching Tiktok and YouTube videos – yes, that’s your job – so it helps if you’re someone who already enjoys following influencers that are meaningful to you. While not a requirement, it’s a good indicator that you’ll love this role.
• Energetic and enthusiastic. You’re excited to be a part of a fast-growing, fast-changing, industry-defining environment. You have a strong entrepreneurial drive and you’re not afraid of a little ambiguity. Even when the answer may not be clear, you feel confident asking questions and making decisions with the best interest of the company, and the influencer, in mind.
