Influencer Marketing Senior Manager

About Ecko

Ecko is a full-service influencer marketing agency helping brands build creator strategies that drive measurable business results. With dedicated Talent Management, Brand Services, Paid Media, and The Ecko Collective (our micro, affiliate, and UGC division), we manage every stage of the influencer funnel, from strategy and creator partnerships to paid amplification and performance.

We’re looking for an experienced, client-facing Senior Manager to own influencer marketing programs end to end for some of the fastest-growing brands in food, health, wellness, lifestyle, and CPG. This is the level where you stop executing pieces of a campaign and start owning a program’s outcomes: strategy, budget, and the client relationship, with real autonomy.

What you’ll do

• Own creator strategy, budget allocation, and contract negotiation for your assigned program or programs.

• Serve as the primary day-to-day client contact, representing Ecko directly in program-level conversations.

• Negotiate directly with creators, creator managers, and agents.

• Navigate ambiguous creator and content situations (usage disputes, underperformance, timeline slippage) and resolve most of them independently.

• Set program-level strategy within brand guidelines and budget, escalating only material budget, legal, or brand-risk issues.

• Deliver performance reporting and strategic recommendations to clients.

• Collaborate with our Talent Management, Paid Media, Creative, and Ecko Collective teams on integrated campaigns.

• Informally mentor the Associates and Managers supporting your program.

Required Experience

• 3 to 5 years of influencer marketing or related creator/brand marketing experience.

• Track record owning a client program or account end to end, including budget responsibility.

• Strong negotiation skills with creators, agents, or creator managers.

• Comfortable as the primary client-facing contact for a program, including delivering unfavorable news.

• Sound judgment on when a situation needs escalation versus independent resolution.

• Strong analytical skills, with the ability to interpret performance and make strategic recommendations.

• Excellent written and verbal communication.

Who you are

• Relationship first. You genuinely enjoy working with clients and creators.

• Strategic and proactive, able to anticipate client needs before they arise.

• Calm under pressure and solution oriented.

• Highly organized in a fast-paced environment with multiple moving pieces.

• Curious, collaborative, and excited by the constantly evolving creator economy.

• Accountable, dependable, and someone your teammates can always count on.

Compensation & Benefits

Compensation is commensurate with experience and demonstrated scope of ownership. Base salary and incentive structure will be discussed throughout the interview process. Ecko offers a fully remote work environment, medical/dental/vision benefits, 401(k), flexible PTO, paid holidays, and ongoing opportunities for growth within a fast-moving, entrepreneurial team.

Ecko is a 100% remote company, and our team works from across the country. The markets listed on this posting reflect where we’re currently focused, though we’re open to strong candidates in other locations.
