• Identifying cultural trends, emerging creators and opportunities for brands to engage authentically with their audiences.
• Leading and developing a team, providing strategic direction, mentorship and hands-on support.
• Working closely with creative, social and client teams to turn strategic thinking into effective campaigns.
• Bringing clarity, confidence and direction to multiple client accounts in a fast-paced agency environment.
• Challenging briefs, pushing creative thinking and raising the standard of influencer work.

What we're looking for:

• Significant experience in influencer marketing strategy, ideally within an agency environment.
• A strong track record of developing both always-on influencer programmes and standalone campaigns.
• Deep knowledge of the creator economy, influencer culture and the evolving social landscape.
• The ability to balance creative thinking with commercial and strategic objectives.
• Proven experience leading, mentoring and line managing teams, with the ambition to develop people further.
• Confidence presenting strategic recommendations and building strong relationships with senior clients.
• Someone who thrives in fast-paced, high-pressure environments and can make confident decisions.
