<p><strong>The Role:</strong></p>

<p>As an Influence Account Executive, you will play a crucial role in the successful delivery of our influencer marketing campaigns. This is a foundational role where you will learn the end-to-end process of campaign execution, from initial creator research to final reporting. You will work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, supporting senior team members and developing the organisational and communication skills essential for a successful career in influence.</p>

<p>A key part of your success will be your ability to manage your tasks effectively, recognise when to seek guidance, and communicate clearly with your line manager. We are looking for a self-motivated and ambitious individual with a positive "can-do" attitude, a keen interest in social media, and a genuine desire to grow and learn.</p>

<p><strong><br></strong><strong>Key Responsibilities:</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>Support the day-to-day management of influencer campaigns, from creator identification and vetting to content review and reporting, ensuring you seek guidance from your line manager when unsure of a process.</li>

<li>Assist the campaigns team with strategic creator research, sourcing, and outreach, ensuring recommendations are relevant and diverse.</li>

<li>Build and nurture positive relationships with creators and talent management agencies.</li>

<li>Maintain clear and consistent communication with your line manager, providing regular updates on campaign progress and flagging any potential issues or delays early.</li>

<li>Oversee and manage campaign administration using our internal platforms (e.g., Waves, Monday.com), including brief uploads, content organisation, and tracking creator payments.</li>

<li>Review creator content to ensure it meets campaign briefing requirements and brand expectations.</li>

<li>Assist in compiling data and insights for end-of-campaign reports, helping to demonstrate campaign value and key learnings.</li>

<li>Actively participate in team meetings and training sessions, sharing insights and demonstrating a receptiveness to feedback to support your personal and professional development.<br><br></li>

<p><strong>Skills for Your Growth to Account Manager:</strong></p>

<p>To support your progression, you will be expected to develop capabilities in the following areas:</p>

<ul>

<li><strong>Develop Project Ownership:</strong> Gradually take the lead on smaller campaign components, managing timelines and deliverables with decreasing supervision to build towards full campaign ownership.</li>

<li><strong>Build Client-Facing Confidence:</strong> Move from an internal support role to actively participating in client meetings, eventually leading updates on your specific areas of work.</li>

<li><strong>Enhance Strategic Thinking:</strong> Go beyond executing briefs to proactively contributing creative ideas and strategic recommendations for creators and content.</li>

<li><strong>Develop Proactive Problem-Solving:</strong> Transition from identifying issues for your manager to proposing thoughtful solutions for day-to-day campaign challenges.</li>

<li><strong>Demonstrate Early Leadership:</strong> Act as a 'buddy' for new starters and interns, sharing your knowledge and demonstrating the ability to guide and support others.<br><br></li>

</ul>

<p><strong>What You Will Need:</strong></p>

<ul>

<li>A genuine passion for influencer marketing and the creator economy, with a strong familiarity with platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest.</li>

<li>A proactive and accountable approach, taking ownership of your tasks while understanding the importance of escalating issues to senior team members.</li>

<li>Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage your time effectively, meet deadlines, and recognise when to ask for help to prioritise tasks.</li>

<li>A strong willingness to learn and a demonstrable receptiveness to constructive feedback.</li>

<li>The ability to build strong rapport and productive relationships both internally and externally.</li>

<li>A proven team player, with a proactive and positive approach to achieving goals and supporting the work of others.</li>

<li>High energy and the ability to multitask, with excellent attention to detail.</li>

<li>The ability to remain calm and optimistic under pressure.<br><br><br></li>

</ul>
