Later Group is hiring: Creator Success Manager in Chicago

Later Group, Chicago, IL, United States


Later is the enterprise leader in social media and influencer marketing software, services, and data, trusted by leading brands and agencies worldwide. Following our acquisition of Mavely, the Everyday Influencer Platform®, Later enables brands to scale creator partnerships from nano to premium influencers while managing social media content and campaigns across all major social and affiliate networks. Through proprietary performance data, marketing leaders can drive attributable sales and optimize social commerce with our software platform or award‑winning services.

Later is founded on two success stories that began in 2014: Mavrck, the industry‑leading influencer marketing solution (now Later Influence™), and Later, the best social media management platform (now Later Social™) and first‑to‑market link‑in‑bio tool, Later Link in Bio. In 2024, Mavrck and Later officially joined together as one unified business, with a shared vision: to enable the world to make a living with their creativity.

We’re trusted by the top social platforms, with partnerships and integrations with Meta, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and Pinterest.

We enable marketers to create high‑performing content and engage in authentic collaborations with creators to reach new audiences, drive engagement, and generate predictable ROI.

About the Role
The Creator Success Manager is a revenue‑driving, creator‑facing role responsible for growing and retaining a portfolio of high‑value creators through data‑led monetization strategies, strong relationship ownership, and proactive risk management. This role sits at the intersection of creator partnership, revenue growth, and product adoption.

You’ll own outcomes, not just relationships. Success in this role is defined by measurable revenue growth, sustained creator retention, and your ability to translate insights into action that helps creators earn more and stay engaged long‑term.

This is an individual contributor role with high accountability, clear revenue goals, and meaningful cross‑functional influence. It is not a customer support or campaigns execution role.

What You’ll Do

Own a portfolio‑level growth strategy that drives creator revenue, retention, and long‑term value.

Identify monetization opportunities, adoption gaps, and churn risk using performance and revenue data.

Develop tailored, 1:1 creator growth plans grounded in data, experimentation, and clear success metrics.

Anticipate shifts in creator behavior or performance and adjust strategies proactively.

Technical / Execution

Consistently deliver against revenue and retention targets across your book of business.

Analyze creator performance data to diagnose issues, surface opportunities, and recommend clear next actions.

Drive product adoption by connecting creator goals to platform capabilities and monetization levers.

Proactively manage churn risk through targeted interventions and re‑engagement strategies.

Maintain accurate account insights, forecasts, and activity tracking in HubSpot (or equivalent tools).

Partner closely with Product, Growth, Marketing, Campaigns, and RevOps to advocate for creator needs and unlock growth.

Serve as the “voice of the creator” in cross‑functional initiatives, ensuring feedback is clearly articulated and actioned.

Work closely with the Director of Growth & Retention to elevate obstacles, unblock issues, and deliver white‑glove solutions.

Research / Best Practices

Stay current on creator economy trends, monetization models, and platform best practices.

Continuously test, learn, and refine monetization approaches to improve creator outcomes and portfolio performance.

Share insights, playbooks, and learnings that elevate creator success across the team.

What Success Looks Like

You consistently meet or exceed revenue and creator retention targets.

Creators see you as a trusted growth partner who brings actionable insights — not generic advice.

You proactively identify and mitigate churn risk before it impacts revenue.

Your creator portfolio shows strong product adoption, engagement, and long‑term growth.

Cross‑functional partners trust your judgment and rely on your insights to inform decisions.

Creator issues are resolved quickly, thoughtfully, and with a high standard of care.

What You Bring

Experience managing revenue‑bearing relationships in an account management, creator partnerships, or client success environment.

Demonstrated ability to grow accounts through strategy, data analysis, and strong relationship ownership.

Proven success using data to diagnose performance, inform decisions, and drive measurable outcomes.

Strong analytical judgment paired with the ability to translate insights into clear, actionable recommendations.

Excellent communication, organization, and time management skills in a fast‑paced environment.

Comfort working cross‑functionally and advocating for partners with clarity and conviction.

Familiarity with tools such as HubSpot, Gmail, Asana, Excel, and data analysis platforms (preferred, not required).

Willingness to travel occasionally for creator and industry events.

We are committed to building an inclusive, supportive place for you to do the best and most rewarding work of your career. If you identify with any of the following, we encourage you to apply!
