• Strategic Direction: Set the vision and standards for influencer strategy, ensuring we stay ahead of industry trends and deliver innovative campaigns.
  

• Operational Excellence: Build scalable systems and processes for handling 500–600+ influencer engagements per month across accounts.
  

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with creative, performance, and client service teams to integrate influencer marketing into broader campaign strategies.
  

• Executive Reporting: Provide visibility to leadership on team performance, client outcomes, and growth plans.

• Proven experience managing both strategists and campaign execution teams (managers and coordinators).
  

• Strong understanding of influencer strategy, negotiation, and performance metrics.
  

• Experience scaling influencer operations to hundreds of monthly engagements.
  

• Ability to build systems, management structures, and processes in a fast-growth environment.
