Overview
Influencer & Creator Partnerships Manager Jobs in United States at Dimond Connect
Our client in the Wellness space is hiring an Influencer & Creator Partnerships Manager!
Overall Description
The Influencer & Creator Partnerships Manager will own and evolve our company's end-to-end creator ecosystem across: commission-based affiliate, creator/UGC content, whitelisting, and a select large influencer/celebrity program. This role is responsible for building the strategy and operating system that turns creators into a reliable growth channel — from recruitment to onboarding, contracting, briefs, seeding, optimization, and performance reporting.
This is a highly autonomous role for an operator who can build structure from scratch, define what “great” looks like, and run the program with minimal direction. You’ll be expected to create the frameworks, rhythms, and standards that enable the program to grow sustainably while maintaining quality, brand alignment, and performance.
Responsibilities
- Own the creator partnerships strategy across affiliate, UGC/content, whitelisting, and larger influencer/celebrity partnerships — setting goals, tiers, standards, and operating cadence
- Define what success looks like for each program (inputs, outputs, leading indicators, and KPI reporting) and build a system to measure it
- Build and continuously improve creator sourcing and recruitment across micro, mid, macro, and select talent — balancing volume, quality, and brand fit
- Create tiering + offer frameworks (commission rates, bonuses, gifting, performance ladders, flat-fee exceptions) that align incentives and protect ROI
- Oversee onboarding end-to-end: application → acceptance → contract → tracking links/codes → seeding → briefing → posting → performance review
- Lead contract negotiations and deal structures (deliverables, timelines, usage rights, exclusivity/category conflicts, whitelisting permissions, renewal options)
- Build and maintain creator briefs that reliably produce on-brand, high-performing content (hooks, claims guardrails, do’s/don’ts, shot lists, examples, edit notes)
- Own product seeding strategy and logistics coordination — ensuring creators receive product on time, tracking shipments, managing replenishment, and controlling costs
- Build and manage a whitelisting program that is frictionless for creators and effective for Growth (permissions, handle access, flighting windows, renewals, creative organization)
- Partner with Growth to identify content to amplify, create a consistent testing pipeline, and translate learnings into better briefs and better output
- Own affiliate program operations and optimization: creator activation, repeat posting, conversion rate, AOV, revenue contribution, and cohort quality
- Establish dashboards and reporting rhythms (weekly performance snapshots + monthly insights + quarterly program planning)
- Build SOPs, templates, and systems that allow the program to grow cleanly (tracking, comms, contracting, seeding, deliverables, rights management)
- Manage one direct report and ensure they are effective across outreach, data pulls, tracking, and coordination
- Ensure compliance and brand safety across the program (FTC disclosures, claims guidance, usage rights, talent approvals)
- Support retail readiness in 2026 by building a creator bench + content library and playbooks built for major launch moments
Skills
- 4–6 years of experience in influencer/creator partnerships, affiliate marketing, or creator performance for a DTC brand or agency (with DTC clients)
- Demonstrated ability to build and operate creator programs — comfortable owning both relationships and operations end-to-end
- Strong negotiator with experience owning contracts, deliverables, rights, whitelisting permissions, and renewals
- Highly organized operator who can build SOPs, templates, and systems from scratch and run them reliably
- Performance-minded: comfortable with attribution, dashboards, testing loops, and using data to make decisions
- Strong creative instinct and taste — able to brief creators clearly and elevate output without over-controlling
- Excellent communication skills — can manage creators and cross-functional partners with clarity and speed
- Self-starter with high ownership and low ego — thrives with little direction and can build structure where none exists
- Comfortable managing one direct report and creating a high-output team dynamic
