Join a team that values entrepreneurial spirit and impactful contributions, where your work will directly shape the future of retail media and creator engagement.

We are seeking a dynamic individual to lead creator operations, playing a pivotal role in executing brand safety and creator care strategies for a cutting-edge retail media network. This is an exciting opportunity to drive influencer campaigns, manage key supplier relationships, and cultivate a supportive ecosystem for creators. You will make a significant impact by ensuring the highest level of service and support across all touchpoints, directly influencing the success of our content-to-commerce initiatives and expanding our creator network.

What you'll do:

• Execute daily business operations for the creator and influencer channel, including iterative strategy and framework development, creator communications, and activation.
• Implement strategies focused on brand safety, customer care, and marketing operations, providing comprehensive white-glove service for creators.
• Forecast the economic impact of creator efforts, refining roadmaps based on a robust measurement framework and minimizing business risks.
• Proactively identify and mitigate potential issues and risks to brand reputation and/or platforms, developing and implementing preventative measures.
• Define success benchmarks for creator care and establish effective methods for measurement and tracking.
• Manage vendor relationships by overseeing performance metrics and identifying opportunities for collaboration and mutual growth.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to manage timelines, specifically with internal media network teams and suppliers.

• Established industry relationships and experience working with business and marketing leaders within client organizations, particularly across media, retail, and/or e-commerce.
• Effective communication skills - you are equally comfortable engaging with new potential partners, meeting them in person, and following up with a "make things happen" attitude.
• Highly organized and detail-oriented, with an eye towards building new processes and frameworks that enable efficiency and scalability.
• Builder mentality, demonstrating the ability to build programs from the ground up and self-start with minimal direction. Forward-thinking and skilled at building proactive strategic frameworks.
