About the job

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. These initiatives frequently involve dozens of creators, multiple platforms, and overlapping timelines, requiring confident decision-making, strong prioritization, and a high bar for quality.

This role plays a critical part in maintaining consistency, efficiency, and creative excellence across the Influencer Marketing program, while also supporting more complex and higher-concept initiatives. The Senior Creative Project Manager helps shape how campaigns come to life and brings execution-informed creative thinking to every stage of the process.
