About This Role:

We are hiring a Head of Partnerships & Creator Program for a fast-growing DTC foot-care and consumer-wellness brand. You will own the creator, influencer, and product seeding program end to end—from identifying the right partners and managing outreach to tracking content, relationships, performance, and long-term opportunities. This role reports directly to the Founder/CMO.

• Work closely with creative, performance marketing, and leadership teams to align creator briefs, campaign priorities, launches, and content needs.

• Build scalable systems, reporting, processes, and documentation for managing a growing creator and partnership program with minimal oversight.

• Set and hit their own performance-driven KPIs for the program (e.g., creators onboarded, content delivered, affiliate-driven revenue, etc.), with minimal need for direction.

Software/Platforms/Tools:

• Creator and influencer management platforms such as GRIN, Aspire, Modash, Upfluence, CreatorIQ, or similar

• At least 5 years of experience in influencer marketing, creator partnerships, affiliate partnerships, brand partnerships, or a similar role, preferably within eCommerce, DTC, consumer wellness, beauty, or CPG brands.

• Proven experience building and managing creator or influencer programs from sourcing and outreach through execution, reporting, and relationship management.

• Strong understanding of product seeding, gifting, affiliate partnerships, paid creator collaborations, content usage rights, and creator economics.

• Comfortable negotiating rates, deliverables, timelines, usage rights, and partnership terms directly with creators or their managers.

• Strong judgment in identifying creators who fit the brand, audience, creative direction, and commercial objectives.

• Experience using creator performance, affiliate, engagement, and conversion data to decide which partnerships to scale or discontinue.

• Strong written and verbal English communication skills, particularly for creator outreach, relationship management, and negotiations.

• Highly organized, proactive, commercially minded, relationship-driven, and comfortable owning a program independently in a lean remote environment.

• Experience with TikTok Shop affiliate/seeding programs is a strong plus, though it is not the primary focus of this role.
