Influencer Marketing Account Manager - Gaming & Sports (US)

About Upfluence

Upfluence helps brands tell their story with powerful influencer & content marketing technology. Upfluence’s software allows brands and agencies to identify and contact millions of social influencers and bloggers at scale to execute comprehensive influencer marketing campaigns, as well as provide detailed reporting metrics. Since the launch of our SaaS software in October 2016, the company has yielded a monthly double-digit growth rate, and we are therefore seeking further expansion for our team and offices. Our rapidly growing global team is currently distributed between our offices in NYC, Los Angeles, Switzerland, Lyon, and Paris.

Upfluence Services division is organized through a squad system: a multidisciplinary unit, in charge of the full life cycle of a business offering or mission. A squad is a specialized, autonomous and accountable entity and its members can be considered as founders of it.

Responsibilities

The Creative Account Manager will be part of the Gaming services squad and will be in charge of developing, consolidating, and selling the Gaming squad offer.

As a Creative Account Manager your position will be split into 3 main missions: Sales (60% of your time), Project Facilitator (30%), and Trainer (10%):

• Strategy Maker: finding creative solutions to prospects and customers' problems in the Gaming space in collaboration with the operational team.
• Account Manager: manage the relationship with the customer, especially in context to the actual project and renewal.
• Offer-fine-tuning: fine-tune the squad offer and make it up to date to fit the industry’s latest trends and client’s needs (include new social media or features for example).
• Project Facilitator: coordinate with the operations team to ensure that the project is done properly and report to the customer.
• Trainer: Sell your squad offer to Upfluence salespeople and train them to sell it (deck creation, pricing sheet, Q&A, training sessions, call reviews...).
