Senior Influencer Marketing Manager

Senior Influencer Marketing Manager

Position: Full-Time

Location: This position offers remote work from California/Denver/New York. Please be aware that applications from candidates residing outside of California/Denver/New York will not be considered.

OVERVIEW

Movement Strategy is looking for a Senior Influencer Marketing Manager to lead and elevate our creator programs. You will report to the Director, Influencer Marketing, and work closely with our Creative, Organic Social, and Paid teams.

This is a strategic, data-informed, trend-obsessed, relationship-driven role. You'll sit at the bridge between brand strategy, creator talent, and creative production, translating client goals into native social concepts that actually land. You have a sharp, instinctive eye for what makes a great creator partner, looking past vanity metrics to evaluate audience authenticity, engagement health, creative versatility, and on-camera presence. If you know how to spot the right creator before the data catches up, and can turn a business goal into a brief that gets authentic, scroll-stopping content

A BIT ABOUT US

Movement Strategy creates content and campaigns for the world’s most exciting brands. We win awards, make headlines, shatter engagement numbers and celebrate the journey along the way. It’s why companies like Netflix, Amazon, Spotify, and Intuit come to us again and again.

We’re fully remote with hubs in New York, Denver, and LA, and a presence all across the US. We believe collaboration is what takes our work from good to great, and at times, even to legendary status. We champion diverse opinions and creativity in every department, and provide professional development and learning opportunities with the goal of helping you discover your best work today, and learn how to make it even better in the future.

Movement Strategy is an Equal Opportunity Employer

Don’t meet every single requirement? Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply for jobs unless they check every single box. Movement Strategy is dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourages those from historically and systemically marginalized communities to apply.

We believe that what we put out into the world matters. And since we were founded on the principles of paving our own path, we take bold steps toward what we believe is the right direction. This means addressing the big stuff: the systems of inequality that impact some of us far more than others. As culture creators, we firmly believe we have a responsibility to our colleagues, clients, communities, and the industry to live up to the Movement’s name. We confront inequities head-on as they come, knowing that this work is never done and that we must keep the momentum.
