Your role at Kittl 🥁 Partnerships is how Kittl reaches small business founders through people they already trust. Influencer marketing is the heart of this role: you’ll source, negotiate and brief creators whose audiences are print-on-demand sellers, Etsy and Shopify shop owners and small product brands, and turn scattered posts into a channel we can forecast. You’ll own affiliate, but most of your time goes into creators. You’ll take a portfolio, diversify who we work with, raise the content bar, and use performance data to decide what to scale, renegotiate or stop. This is a senior individual contributor role with real authority over which partners we bet on, and how much. What you'll do 📋️ Own a portfolio of creator partnerships end to end: sourcing, vetting for brand fit, negotiating, briefing and measuring Build real relationships with creators in the segments our go-to-market depends on, and hold a high content bar Scale what already works, and test new partnership types where our audiences overlap Run campaigns and their budget, and show what each euro returned Own the affiliate programme: commissions, onboarding, and moving partners from signed up to recurring producer Report on signups, subscriptions and CAC on a regular cadence, and keep payments, CRM and tracking clean What you'll need ✅️ 5+ years in influencer marketing, running paid YouTube and Instagram creator deals yourself: sourcing, negotiating, renewing and cutting. Experience with broader partnerships is a plus. You judge creators on what they convert, not what they reach, and you've renegotiated or ended a deal because of CAC Hands-on affiliate experience: commission tiers, tracking, partner activation You can carry 60+ active partners, and tell a creator their work isn't good enough without losing them You've owned a partnerships budget and can defend how you spent it, with a CRM that's actually current Nice to have 👌 Experience in a creative tool, design, DTC or e-commerce business, ideally a subscription app Opening new channels or business and platform partnerships TikTok creator experience Additional languages are always a plus to communicate with the influencers in their own language, but not a must Paid amplification of creator content on Meta and YouTube Show us, don't tell us 🎤 Bring two creator partnerships you built - what you saw in them before anyone else did, what you paid, and what came back.
