• Proven ability to start from zero and build programs from scratch, then scale to dozens+ of creators.
• Strong copy, communication, and creator relations; comfortable negotiating and managing briefs.
• Hands-on with social tools, creator discovery, and automation (IG DM flows, forms, CRM, Zapier/Make, etc.).

Nice-to-Have:
