Influencer Talent & Campaign Planning Associate

Seismic is a boutique marketing agency that specializes in building high-performance Influencer Marketing campaigns and communities for brands.

Influencer marketing provides huge potential, but can have lots of friction and failure points.  By combining institutional knowledge with data science and proprietary technology, we deliver performance-driven influencer marketing campaigns that work seamlessly for brands, creators, and audiences alike. 

If you are passionate about the creator economy, we want to talk to you!

We are looking for an Influencer Marketing Associate to support our Talent and Campaign Planning team with a strong focus on creator prospecting, vetting, and onboarding.

This is an execution-focused role centered on identifying and vetting high-quality creators, building outreach pipelines, and supporting performance-driven campaigns on YouTube, Instagram, Twitch and other content creation platforms - not managing brand social media accounts or posting content. 

The ideal candidate possesses an understanding of each step of the influencer campaign process - from outreach to execution - and has hands-on experience evaluating creators, conducting outreach, developing long-term relationships and negotiating campaign-specific details particularly within the YouTube and longform content ecosystem. This candidate must possess strong communication, prospecting, and organizational skills. 

We are a remote-friendly team with offices in Oakland, CA. This is a full-time position with an anticipated base salary range of $60,000 - $80,000, depending on experience, skills, and geographic location. Final compensation will be determined based on several factors including candidate experience and internal equity.

We are currently only able to consider candidates with legal residence in the following states: California, Colorado, Florida, Idaho, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, or Texas.

• Prospect and identify content creators aligned with our key brand partners using platform research, tools, and outbound sourcing
• Evaluate creators based on performance metrics, audience alignment, past integrations, and content quality to ensure that marketing campaigns can be high-performance
• Conduct cold email outreach and manage relationship building with creators and talent managers
• Support onboarding and relationship management workflows for new creator partners
• Maintain organized prospecting pipelines and track outreach progress
• Negotiate creator rates and communicate Seismic's performance driven approach to creators and talent managers

We’re looking for candidates who have professional experience working within influencer marketing, creator partnerships, or related roles.

Strong candidates typically have experience in one or more of the following:

• Influencer marketing agency or creator-focused environment
• Talent sourcing, creator outreach, deliverable negotiations, or influencer campaign operations
• YouTube creator partnerships or longform content integrations
• Using performance metrics and platform data to evaluate creators

Personal use of social media alone is not considered relevant experience for this role.

• Have 1-3+ years of related professional experience in Influencer Marketing or other creator-economy related fields
• Are detail oriented and highly communicative
• Have experience with negotiating, data analysis, and prospecting
• Are well-versed in digital advertising and influencer marketing terminology (i.e. YouTube/Instagram/Twitch metrics and best practices)
  

We will review all completed applications that come in through our career site. Please do not reach out directly on LinkedIn - we promise we'll get back to you!
