Creator Partnerships Manager

Agentio enables marketers to buy creator led ads as easily and scalably as Meta or Google ads—automating sourcing, pricing, contracting, delivery, and measurement with AI—so work that took months now happens in minutes.

We’re on a mission to transform a $600B digital ad ecosystem by shifting digital ad spend into the hands of creators. That means better outcomes for marketers and enabling creators to live off their work—finally being paid in proportion to the value they create. That shift is accelerating: Unilever’s CEO has said the company will move roughly half of its ad budget into social and creators—Unilever is among the world’s largest advertisers, spending around $9–10B annually. As these dollars move, they need performance-grade pipes; Agentio is how those dollars flow to creators with the speed, control, and measurement marketers expect. We enable brands like Uber, DoorDash, and Bombas to run creator campaigns with the same rigor, control, and accountability as their core performance channels.

Agentio’s investors include Benchmark, Craft, and AlleyCorp. Agentio has been named to Forbes’ list of Next Billion Dollar Startups, 2025. We've raised $16M to date, our product is already used and loved by the world’s leading marketers and creators— and we’re just getting started.

Agentio is scaling the next generation of creator partnerships — built for a world where creators drive the most authentic and effective brand advertising. As the fifth member of the Creator Partnerships team, you’ll play a pivotal role in shaping how we identify, acquire, and grow creators across YouTube, Instagram, and beyond.
