Experience

  • 2–4 years of account management experience within the influencer marketing industry, with a strong understanding of creator workflows, campaign execution, and brand communication.
  • Experience with affiliate marketing (minimum 1 year is ideal but not required) including understanding of tracking links, commissions, and performance-driven creator programs.
