Evaluate and recommend creators aligned with brand values, audience demographics, content quality, and campaign objectives -- building a pipeline of influencer talent that strengthens the program over time.

Maintain accurate and organized records of influencer contracts, content rights, usage terms, and creator assets -- ensuring the organization always knows what content it owns and how it can be used. Coordinate usage rights extensions and additional licensing as campaign needs evolve, protecting the organization’s ability to maximize content across channels. Organize and maintain influencer content and documentation in Bynder, ensuring assets are accessible, correctly tagged, and available for use across the marketing ecosystem.

Maintain reporting tools and performance records that give the Manager of Social & Content Strategy clear, timely visibility into program effectiveness and creator performance. Stay current on creator culture, emerging platforms, influencer trends, and competitive activity -- bringing relevant opportunities and innovations to the team proactively rather than reactively. Identify and implement AI tools and integrations that improve influencer research, creator vetting, campaign management, rights tracking, and reporting efficiency -- continuously raising the operational standard of the program.
