Senior Creative Project Manager, Influencer Marketing
The Senior Creative Project Manager, Influencer Marketing owns the execution of mid-to-large scale, product-led influencer marketing campaigns within a high-volume program. This role serves as the primary day-to-day owner for campaigns that require strong operational leadership, creative judgment, and cross-functional coordination.
You will translate often ambiguous client briefs and product requirements into clear campaign approaches, creative proposals, and executable plans—then own those campaigns from concept through delivery.
