Influencer Marketing Manager

Job Description: Influencer Marketing Manager

This role is part of our Brand and Advertising team based in Amsterdam.  Our team is a vibrant mix of talents, ranging from  Brand Strategists, Creatives, and Influencer Marketers to Account managers, Producers, and Video editors.  As a creative digital marketing agency, we mix old-fashioned creative storytelling with the best of what today’s technology has to offer to deliver exceptional and engaging digital experiences that build lasting relationships with our clients like bol and Philips to name a few.

JOB PURPOSE

As an Influencer Marketing Manager, you are the main contact and sparring partner for both the client and the influencers during the entire process. You are responsible for the implementation, management, and quality control of campaigns, ensuring that everything runs smoothly. You demonstrate strong commercial insight and oversight, effectively building client portfolios.

You naturally have an overview and know exactly how to set priorities. Drawing up a schedule, monitoring the process, and delivering it on time are your specialties. Tight deadlines don't freak you out and you make sure to follow through with a "can do" approach. Strong project management skills are therefore essential. You are responsible for creating evaluation reports to assess the effectiveness and success of campaigns. Additionally, you are solution-oriented and can work independently to tackle any challenges that arise. With your extensive experience in the influencer industry, your opinion is respected and valued by both clients and internal teams.

Influencer Marketing at Dept®:

• A group of colleagues that will feel like friends in no time;
• Good vibes: we’re trusting and believe that freedom and autonomy come with responsibility;
• If you grow, we grow. That’s why we’ll cheer you on (and support you) with personal coaching, a development plan, and a budget;
• Managing existing clients, projects, or new business? Whatever you like best and fits your ambition — we’ll find you projects that work for you as well as the other way around;
• Clients that will make you feel like a proud ambassador, like Philips, Just Eat Takeaway and bol.com;
• Best of both worlds: the pros of an international leading agency with the energy and caring mentality of your next-door agency.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• You will expertly manage several influencer campaigns simultaneously on an independent basis;
• You love the implementation phase, where you focus on customer satisfaction and projects are managed by you in detail;
• You identify and maintain contact with influencers, negotiate competitive rates and draw up agreements;
• Ensure good guidance for both the client and the influencers during the entire process, for both you are the point of contact and the sparring partner during the collaboration;
• Monitoring performance and ROI: You track and analyze campaign results, write detailed evaluation reports, and create concrete recommendations to elevate the clients' influencer marketing. You independently discuss these insights with the client.
• Professional guidance and development of junior team members.
