Job description

About Agentio

Agentio enables marketers to buy creator‑led ads as easily and scalably as Meta or Google ads—automating sourcing, pricing, contracting, delivery, and measurement with AI—so work that took months now happens in minutes.

We’re on a mission to transform the $600B digital ad ecosystem by shifting ad spend into the hands of creators, delivering better outcomes for marketers and enabling creators to live off their work. We enable brands like Uber, DoorDash, and Bombas to run creator campaigns with the same rigor, control, and accountability as their core performance channels.

Our investors include Benchmark, Craft, and AlleyCorp. We are named to Forbes’ list of Next Billion Dollar Startups.

About The Role

Agentio is scaling the next generation of creator partnerships. As the fifth member of the Creator Partnerships team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we identify, acquire, and grow creators across YouTube, Instagram, and beyond. You’ll report to the VP of Creator Strategy and collaborate closely with the CEO and Head of Brand Sales.

• Represent Agentio in external meetings, pitches, and events, clearly articulating our value proposition and disruptive vision for the creator economy.

AI‑Driven GTM Efficiency

• Leverage AI tools to streamline prospecting, personalize communication, analyze creator performance data, and automate CRM management.
• Help design and implement new AI workflows that improve outreach, follow‑ups, and deal tracking.
• Partner with GTM Operations to identify where intelligent automation can replace manual processes and free up time for high‑impact relationship work.
• Act as an internal AI advocate, sharing learnings and testing new tools to drive scale and efficiency.

Operational Excellence & Cross‑Functional Collaboration

• Partner with Product, Data, and Brand teams to translate creator insights into platform improvements and campaign recommendations.
• Collaborate with the Creator Experience team to ensure newly onboarded creators are set up for long‑term success.
