The role

I’m working with an ambitious independent creative agency that’s looking for an Influencer Marketing Manager to join their growing team.

This is a great opportunity for someone who genuinely lives and breathes creator culture, understands how subcultures shape consumer behaviour and knows how to turn that insight into commercially effective influencer campaigns.

What you'll be doing

You’ll lead the development and delivery of creator and influencer strategies for a major QSR client, working across PR, Social, Content and Experiential to create campaigns that feel culturally relevant and authentic.

You’ll have ownership across the full influencer process — from strategy and creator selection through to negotiation, delivery and reporting.

• Developing culturally relevant influencer strategies based on client objectives, audience insight and platform behaviour
• Identifying and sourcing the right creators for campaigns
• Managing influencer campaigns end-to-end, from outreach and contracting through to briefing, approvals and delivery
• Building strong relationships with creators, agents and talent managers
• Negotiating fees, deliverables, usage rights and contracts
• Managing campaign budgets and ensuring accurate tracking
• Working closely with PR, Social, Content and Experiential teams
• Reviewing campaign performance, reporting on ROI and identifying opportunities for optimisation

We're looking for someone with:

• Proven influencer / creator marketing experience, ideally within QSR, hospitality or food & drink
• Strong understanding of the creator economy, talent landscape and social platforms
• Experience managing budgets, KPIs and campaign reporting
• Strong negotiation and relationship-management skills
• Excellent understanding of creator-brand fit and cultural relevance
• Experience delivering influencer campaigns as part of wider integrated campaigns
• Excellent organisation and attention to detail
• Someone who can work at pace while maintaining a high level of professionalism
• A proactive, culturally aware and commercially minded approach

This is an opportunity to join an independent agency with a strong cultural point of view, working with brands and creators at the heart of popular culture.
