Director, Influencer Marketing

Small Girls PR is growing and we are looking for a Director with 7-9 years of experience to join our influencer marketing team working with exciting brands across fashion, food & beverage and consumer tech and more. 

There is no one-size-fits-all for an SGPR client which means your career will be further enriched with meaningful and diversified experience. We've partnered with a former Miss America who also happens to be a Nuclear Engineer to help announce a merger for GE, made Kyle Richards’ personal dream come true putting her behind the window of a Jack in the Box taco truck, said “bye to basic” with Lance Bass for a canned cocktail launch, and tapped the Green M&M as Zappos’ newest “shoefluencer” ahead of the Super Bowl, when M&M’s spokescandies were put on hiatus. 

Note: This role is based in our NYC office, working two days a week in the office on a hybrid schedule.

How you’ll make an impact:

• As a strategic leader, you will dream up creative, multi-pronged paid and earned influencer campaigns that drive brand awareness, engagement and conversion for our clients across different industries.
• You’ll advise clients on short and long-term strategy, manage expectations and set goals, timelines, and deliverables.
• Maintain consistent knowledge of client affairs, generating original ideas to amplify their efforts through influencer marketing and socially-driven partnerships
• Originate campaign concepts that earn shares beyond the paid spend
• Reverse engineer virality; demonstrate clear understanding of what poses campaigns for maximum talkability. 
• Collaborate with the PR and Experiential teams to create integrated campaigns that align with client objectives
• You will identify, outreach, negotiate, contract and lead the overall  management  and execution of paid (and earned) influencer programming across tiers of influencers and within a variety of platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.) 
• You will manage budgets ensuring cost-effectiveness and a strong ROI
• You’ll report on campaign KPI’s and performance providing actionable data-based insights and recommendations to clients
• Participate in new business meetings and proposals alongside senior leadership, contributing to business development and growth initiatives.
• Manage and mentor junior team members and freelancers, ensuring quality and breadth of their work. 

 Why we’ll love you:

• Experience: 7-9+ years of relevant experience within the influencer marketing space (agency or in-house), negotiating contracts, creating and managing successful influencer campaigns, and maintaining a strong network of influencer and agent relationships. 
• Strategic - You are able to provide counsel, guidance and have a proven track record of developing  strategic influencer campaigns that achieve client goals and KPIs.
• Organization - You have the ability to monitor progress of personal and team deliverables as well as the status of campaign pipelines and projects.
• Detail-Oriented - Can spot a typo a mile away, diligent with formatting, double checks everything twice and never forgets or misses a deadline.
• Social Savvy - You have a deep knowledge of influencer trends, current and emerging social platforms, content formats, analytics and are constantly dreaming up engaging and creative campaign ideas.
• Communication - You have strong verbal and written communication with the ability to instill client confidence on opportunities, projects, and tasks.
• Content & Trend Obsessed - You scroll TikTok for hours in your spare time, you have a list of dream influencers you’d love to work with someday, you’re the first to find a creator or content trend before they really pop off, you consume and are endlessly inspired by content & creators.

Why you’ll love us:

• Atypical Time: a generous PTO plan that scales with tenure in addition to Summer Fridays, Day of Rests for mental health, Caregiving days, and time off for Unsick Days dedicated to preventative care. 
• Dedicated Time Each Day for Deep Work: Our unique Smalls In Sync program carves out daily time for you to collaborate with colleagues as well as have the space to get your strategic, solo work done.
• We invest in you: We have 100% employer covered medical leave, contribute to your 401k (whether you decide to contribute or not), in addition to contributing towards your gym memberships, dental, vision, data plans / home WiFi, and daily commute. We budget for you to network each month as well as reimburse professional development as it applies to roles, from InDesign to public speaking.
• A strong culture: We have an employee-led committee that determines company policy together and another dedicated to planning our weekly celebrations and quarterly outings (virtual or otherwise), book clubs and employee-coached trivia & intramural activities, a penchant for karaoke, and we’ve even taken our staff on vacations overseas.
