Position Summary

We’re seeking an experienced Partnerships Manager & Coordinator to build, manage, and scale a high-performance creator acquisition and retention program. This role is focused on results, not vanity metrics—it’s about turning creators into reliable revenue drivers at scale.

You will own the entire creator pipeline—from outreach and negotiation to content briefing, coordination, and performance analysis. You know how to work effectively with agencies, scale successful strategies, and transform creators into consistent, high-ROI revenue channels.

This is a full-time, on-site position ideal for someone with extensive experience in direct-response influencer marketing, creator marketing, and affiliate or commission-based influencer programs.

Key responsibilities also include coordinating influencer posts, such as managing product shipments, creating and sharing tracking links, scheduling post dates, overseeing contracts, and ensuring smooth execution of all campaign deliverables.
