Job description

ARE YOU READY TO TAKE YOUR CAREER TO NEW HEIGHTS? ARE YOU SEEKING A NEW CHALLENGE IN A DYNAMIC SECTOR?

This is a very exciting and highly innovative time here at Outside.

OUR TRUE NORTH:Outside Interactive, Inc., the premier hub for active lifestyle enthusiasts, offers best-in-class content and experiences to more than 70 million of the world’s most passionate outdoor, wellness, and endurance enthusiasts every month. We inspire a broad and diverse audience to do the activities they love with greater enjoyment, inspiration, and knowledge and are dedicated to making real change in the outdoor and fitness industries.

The Creator Marketing Manager leads the Outside Creator Network (OCN), a community of outdoor, fitness, and adventure creators. OCN powers branded campaigns for Brandworks, Outside's in-house content marketing agency. This person scouts and vets new creators, pairs them with the right brands, and runs creator-led campaigns from first brief to final report, including budgets and contracts.

This is a hands-on role for someone who knows what makes social content authentic, credible, and engaging, and who loves finding new voices. Expect a steady pace most of the year, with a couple of multi-campaign pushes and contract support available during peaks. This is not a sales role. You'll contribute ideas to pitches and join client kickoffs once a campaign is sold.

Responsibilities:

• Proactively source and vet new creators across Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook; there's no fixed roster, so you'll build the bench campaign by campaign
• Pair creators with brand and campaign needs, and write clear, on-strategy creator briefs
• Manage post-production and the full campaign workflow, including Meta partnership ads (boosting/whitelisting)
• Track, analyze, and report on campaign performance using social media data
• Manage creator campaign budgets and negotiate creator contracts
• Contribute ideas to internal pitches and RFP responses; join client kickoff calls after a campaign is sold
• Support creator content for fitness challenges on Outside's Map My apps
• Stay current on social media and creator trends, and apply them to campaign planning

Within 1 Month, you will:

• Onboard with the Brandworks team and learn current OCN processes and custom content services
• Take ownership of post-production and creator briefs
• Start building relationships with existing creators and scouting new creators for upcoming campaigns
• Demonstrate proficiency in campaign tracking and reporting

Within 6 Months, you will:

• Independently lead creator campaigns from concept to execution
• Own creator budgets and contract negotiations
• Expand the OCN network with a diverse range of creators matched to campaign needs
• Apply trend knowledge to optimize content creation and delivery

Within 12 Months, you will:

• Use social data insights to influence OCN strategy and identify new opportunities
• Scale the program with measurable growth
• Define best practices for campaign management, budget allocation, and contract negotiation across Brandworks
• Serve as the team's go-to creator marketing expert

What you bring:

• 3+ years of experience in creator/influencer marketing, social media marketing, or digital marketing
• Deep knowledge of social platforms and creator marketing, with a strong sense of what makes content authentic and engaging
• Strong project management skills across multiple campaigns, deadlines, and budgets
• Experience analyzing social media data and turning it into clear reports and recommendations
• Creative approach to storytelling and content creation
• Strong written and verbal communication skills; collaborative, solution-oriented mindset
• Proficiency in Google Workspace and Asana; experience with Meta partnership ads a plus
• Creator or talent contract negotiation experience a plus
• Bachelor's degree in Communications, Journalism, Marketing, or a related field preferred
• Enthusiasm to grow and evolve in a fast-moving field
