Skills & Competencies:

1. Work Experience: 4-8 years work experience in Influencer Partnerships, Project Management, Customer Service, or Operations.

   1. Brand Partnerships / Influencer Sponsorships experience is preferred, but it can be learned quickly.

   2. Organization is very important for a role like this, so if you have strong PM or Operations experience, you’d be a strong fit.

2. Excellent Email & Verbal Communication Skills:

   1. Excellent Written & Verbal English Skills.

   2. Must respond to Sponsors & Creators quickly and effectively with the right information.

   3. Must be comfortable picking up the phone & calling a client for important matters.

3. Attention to Detail: We're handling large influencer campaigns often worth $5K - $50K for one ad placement. Any mistakes can be costly, so high attention to detail is crucial.

4. Relationship Builder: Relationships are not built just off your personality, they’re built off adding value & showing up for your clients. So we’re not looking for the best “personality” person, but rather someone that is honest, reliable, and values long-term relationships over a quick buck.

5. Tech Savviness: Proficiency in Airtable, Notion, Asana, and Google Sheets is required. Our internal business relies on Airtable, tasks are managed in Asana, SOPs are housed in Notion, and negotiations often happen via email and Google Sheets. Our business is remote so the ideal candidate will be overall quick & effective with the computer.

6. Critical Thinking: The ideal candidate can critically think through issues & make decisions on their own. Sometimes there will not be a straight-forward solution to a problem found in an SOP, and you’ll be required to think outside of the box.

7. Reliable: We have ads running and deals closing daily. We need someone reliable who can work beyond regular hours for tight deadlines.
