Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed influencer seeding, creator outreach, or organic ambassador programs at scale (50+ creators per quarter minimum)
  • You're a systems thinker who obsesses over workflows, logistics, and measurement—spreadsheets are your love language
  • You know TikTok and Instagram creator ecosystems and can spot micro-trends and emerging creators
  • You thrive in fast-paced, scrappy environments where you're both strategist and operator, and you want to prove business impact
Won't Work If
  • You need remote flexibility or hybrid work—this is on-site, Culver City, full stop
  • You're waiting for a team to manage; day one you own execution and will wear multiple hats
  • You don't have 2+ years of direct influencer/creator program experience; this role expects you to hit the ground running
