Influence Account Executive

Location: London

Working Pattern: Hybrid 3:2

Contract Type: Fixed-Term (12 months)

Full Time/Part time: Full Time

Reporting into: Influence Account Director / Influence Business Director

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. 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.

Key Responsibilities

• 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.
• Assist the campaigns team with strategic creator research, sourcing, and outreach, ensuring recommendations are relevant and diverse.
• Build and nurture positive relationships with creators and talent management agencies.
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with your line manager, providing regular updates on campaign progress and flagging any potential issues or delays early.
• Oversee and manage campaign administration using our internal platforms (e.g., Waves, Monday.com), including brief uploads, content organisation, and tracking creator payments.
• Review creator content to ensure it meets campaign briefing requirements and brand expectations.
• Assist in compiling data and insights for end‑of‑campaign reports, helping to demonstrate campaign value and key learnings.
• Actively participate in team meetings and training sessions, sharing insights and demonstrating a receptiveness to feedback to support your personal and professional development.

Skills for Your Growth to Account Manager

• Develop Project Ownership: Gradually take the lead on smaller campaign components, managing timelines and deliverables with decreasing supervision to build towards full campaign ownership.
• Build Client‑Facing Confidence: Move from an internal support role to actively participating in client meetings, eventually leading updates on your specific areas of work.
• Enhance Strategic Thinking: Go beyond executing briefs to contributing creative ideas and strategic recommendations for creators and content.
• Develop Proactive Problem‑Solving: Transition from identifying issues for your manager to proposing thoughtful solutions for day‑to‑day campaign challenges.
• Demonstrate Early Leadership: Act as a buddy for new starters and interns, sharing your knowledge and demonstrating the ability to guide and support others.

What You Will Need

• A genuine passion for influencer marketing and the creator economy, with a strong familiarity with platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest.
• A proactive and accountable approach, taking ownership of your tasks while understanding the importance of escalating issues to senior team members.
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to manage your time effectively, meet deadlines, and recognise when to ask for help to prioritise tasks.
• A strong willingness to learn and a demonstrable receptiveness to constructive feedback.
• The ability to build strong rapport and productive relationships both internally and externally.
• A proven team player, with a proactive and positive approach to achieving goals and supporting the work of others.
• High energy and the ability to multitask, with excellent attention to detail.
• The ability to remain calm and optimistic under pressure.
