Influencer Partnerships Manager

Purpose of Position

As an Influencer Partnerships Manager, you will be responsible for developing and managing influencer campaigns from concept through to execution and reporting. This includes supporting advertiser outreach, proactively pitching influencer collaboration opportunities to prospective and existing clients, defining campaign objectives, identifying and recruiting relevant influencers, and ensuring campaigns are delivered successfully against client goals.

You will play a key role in presenting Awin’s influencer offering to brands and agencies, confidently communicating the value of influencer affiliate marketing and tailoring recommendations based on each client’s objectives. This will include supporting pitches and proposals identifying opportunities for growth, and helping advertisers understand appropriate campaign measurement models beyond traditional CPA.

You will manage day-to-day communication with influencers, brands and agencies, building strong relationships and ensuring all campaign participants are aligned on deliverables, timelines and expectations. The role will involve negotiating campaign fees and payment structures, monitoring campaign activity, and ensuring affiliate tracking and campaign assets are correctly implemented and optimised throughout delivery to campaign performance reporting.

As a key member of Awin’s growing influencer offering, you will act as an internal and external advocate for influencer marketing across the business.

The role requires a strong understanding of the influencer and affiliate marketing landscape, with the ability to identify growth opportunities for both brands and creators.
