Descrição da oferta de emprego

Buttermilk is the London-born creator agency behind the campaigns your favourite influencers are actually posting.

Prada Beauty's US launch. Gap's Tyla collab that broke the internet. Mugler's community-first relaunch. Primark's biggest brand push in years. Liquid I.V.'s "Chase the High."

This is a team that turns creators into cultural moments for some of the biggest names in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, and they've built a genuine reputation doing it, not just a portfolio page.

They've grown from a London HQ into a 130+ person, multi-office operation spanning New York, Dubai and Rio, and Creator Services alone is 70-80 people deep.

It's fast, it's high-volume, and it's the real thing: real budgets, real global brands, real creators with real followings, not a junior team running spreadsheets in the corner.

Now they're building their first South African presence, and Marketing Pros is opening the door.

This isn't a one-off placement, it's the start of a proper regional hub for Buttermilk in Cape Town, and the first person or two through that door will help shape what that hub becomes.

For a South African influencer creator marketer who wants exposure to genuinely global, culturally relevant campaigns, without giving up the stability of an SA-based role, this is about as good as it gets.

The Role

The Senior Creator Executive will lead the discovery, onboarding, and management of creators, ensuring successful delivery of influencer marketing campaigns. This involves managing logistics, overseeing content approvals, mentoring junior team members, and ensuring the highest quality of work is delivered on time and within budget.

Key responsibilities:

• Creator Discovery & Outreach: lead discovery/outreach of micro-to-mid-tier influencers, aligned with client goals.
• Creator Onboarding & Management: oversee onboarding; serve as primary point of contact throughout the campaign lifecycle.
• Content Reviews & Approvals: manage review/approval process for compliance (ASA/FTC guidelines).
• Logistics & Campaign Coordination: oversee product send-out logistics; monitor dashboards for data accuracy/performance.
• Negotiations & Contracting: oversee mid-tier influencer negotiations, balancing cost-efficiency with quality.
• Campaign Monitoring & Reporting: collaborate with internal teams to optimize performance; provide ongoing feedback to junior team members, including regular checks on their work.
• Mentoring & Team Support: act as mentor for junior team members and interns; conduct weekly spot checks on team accuracy/performance.
