Influencer Partnerships Manager

I am on the look out for a dynamic Influencer Partnerships Manager to join a culture-first creative communications agency in London! This agency thrives on building brands that blend sports, fashion, and lifestyle into something truly unique. They are seeking someone to support the agency with delivery of multiple paid partnership briefs across key agency clients. The successful candidate will have proven experience of delivering end to end paid partnerships, with a deep love (and knowledge) of the sportswear and lifestyle influencer scene.

My client builds brands, reimagining their truth with bold storytelling. Using their strategic props they channel their creativity and connections before activating through PR, social, influencers, experiential and head-turning campaigns. I’m looking for someone who lives and breathes influencer culture — not just someone who follows the trends, but someone who helps set them.
