Our team believes in high-ownership, a fast-paced environment, and direct impact on the next era of creative tools.

About the Role

As our Creator and Influencer Partnerships Manager, you will own and execute all aspects of Pika’s creator and influencer programs, transforming every company launch into broad, authentic reach.

• Plan and manage creator and influencer strategies for each launch, including sourcing partners, outreach, rate negotiation, scheduling, and approvals.

• Build and maintain partnership tiers - ranging from tech news amplifiers to paid creators and unpaid community - based on performance metrics (CPM, CTR, sign-ups) and an eye on competitor benchmarks.

• Author concise creator briefs, early-access guides, and outreach messages; coordinate assets and creative approvals with design and content teams.

• Oversee creator contracts, onboarding, credit management, and invoicing in partnership with Finance and Ops.

• Own all measurement: set up UTM links, maintain dashboards, and report on partner campaign outcomes for each launch.

• Grow and engage Pika’s creator community (Discord, WhatsApp, early access groups, Creator Partner Program), developing programs that add value and recognition.

• Channel creator and community feedback to Product and Engineering to inform improvements and future launches.

• Explore and execute new approaches to creator engagement, including events, ambassador programs, and in-person meetups.

Requirements

• 5+ years in influencer, creator, partnerships, or community marketing, ideally at a tech or consumer product company.

• Demonstrated history of planning, running, and reporting on paid creator campaigns with measurable results.

• Proven experience running paid creator/influencer campaigns with budgets of $100k+.

• Authentic ties in AI, tech, and creator communities across X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

• Excellent writing and negotiation abilities; able to craft compelling briefs, guides, and outreach copy.
