Job description

The company is a fast-growing marketing agency that helps B2B tech startups and founder-led brands unlock growth through high-impact creator programs, creative production, and growth marketing. We work with some of the most exciting companies in the startup ecosystem. We are a team of ~10 that operates with extreme high agency, speed, and standard-setting, AI-native execution.

The Role

We are seeking a Director of Client Partnerships to own our creator programs end-to-end and serve as the primary account lead for a portfolio of startup tech clients. This is not a coordinator role - you will be in the driver's seat.

We are looking for a results-driven agency professional who walks into client services and just gets it - sourcing and negotiating creator deals, building repeatable workflows, managing creator relationships, and taking programs from zero to running with complete autonomy. You will pull leadership out of day-to-day execution while acting as the connective tissue between clients, creators, and internal delivery.

What You’ll Own

B2B Creator Program (Deal Brokering): Source, vet, pitch, negotiate, and close creator deals on behalf of brand clients, typically 6–12 month partnerships with retainers and platform migrations. Match creators to specific ICPs (e.g., GTM engineers, agency owners, marketing leaders) and manage ongoing relationships post-close.

Customer Creator Program (Workflow Execution): Manage the end-to-end customer creator workflow: onboard brand clients, process customer lists, coordinate outreach, and deliver fully produced content back to brands. Scale this program to run across 5+ brands simultaneously.

Client Leadership & Strategy: Serve as the primary account lead for a portfolio of startup tech clients - owning account health, expansion, and translating client goals and briefs into clear execution.

Process & Workflow Architecture: Design and document SOPs, onboarding flows, and repeatable workflows in Notion and internal tools to build the operational infrastructure that lets the team scale without breaking quality.

What We’re Looking For

Agency Track Record (3–5+ Years): Proven experience running client accounts and multi-channel execution at a fast-paced agency.

Creator Deal Experience: Hands-on experience sourcing, negotiating, closing, and managing creator or influencer partnerships through delivery - not just the close.

B2B & Startup Ecosystem Fluency: Deep understanding of B2B marketing dynamics, knowing why a targeted technical/niche creator hits differently for a Series A SaaS than a lifestyle influencer would.

AI-Native Operator: You use AI tools natively in your day-to-day work (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Lightfield) for research, outreach, drafting creator briefs, and building workflows.

High Ownership & Initiative: A self-directed operator who takes complete accountability, moves with urgency, and solves problems proactively without waiting to be told what to do.

Operational Discipline: Systems-minded and hyper-organized, with a clear focus on building repeatable workflows, documenting SOPs, and setting up clean trackers.

Client Presence: Outstanding written and verbal communication skills with the confidence and poise to lead executive stakeholder conversations independently.

Tools You’ll Work In

We are an AI-enabled agency and expect this hire to operate the same way:

AI & Research: ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Lightfield.

Project & Workflow Management: Notion (for SOPs, client trackers, and program workflows).

Communication & Delivery: Slack (async-first), Loom (for async video updates).

Creator Outreach & CRM: AI-assisted outreach tools, creator CRMs, and short-form video platforms (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, X).

Why Join us?

Direct impact and high visibility working closely with our CEO to build the layer that takes execution off her plate.

Work with some of the most exciting, fast-moving companies in the B2B tech startup ecosystem.

Join a genuinely AI-native agency built around modern, cutting-edge tools and workflows.

High room for growth and scope expansion as the agency continues to scale.

Compensation: PKR 550,000 – 700,000 per month (No taxes withheld; paid via remittance.)

Final compensation will be based on relevant experience and overall fit.
