The role:

As our Influencer Marketing Manager, you will own CookUnity's influencer and creator marketing engine as a measurable acquisition channel. You'll build a portfolio of creator relationships across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and emerging platforms; turn CookUnity's chefs, menus, and customer insights into creator-ready angles; and make the channel accountable to incremental new-customer growth.

This is a builder role. Create the operating system, run the deals, and scale our creator channel.
Responsibilities:

• Own and scale CookUnity's influencer and creator marketing program across priority platforms, ensuring partnerships are aligned with new-customer growth, CAC, payback, and quality goals
• Build the creator operating system from the ground up: creator tiers, sourcing workflows, audience-fit scoring, outreach templates, deal structures, usage rights, tracking standards, and post-campaign readouts
• Manage creator relationships end to end, from first contact to brief, contract, deliverables, content review, tracking, payment, and long-term reactivation
• Turn CookUnity's chefs, menus, product experience, and customer data into creator briefs that give partners specific, useful things to say
• Build a creator community through early tastings, chef access, menu drops, data briefings, and repeatable moments that make creators more invested in CookUnity over time
• Monitor budgets and pacing with rigor; identify performance risks early and reallocate toward creators, formats, and offers with stronger signal
• Use AI and automation to improve speed and quality across creator discovery, audience-fit scoring, outreach personalization, brief development, trend mining, comment analysis, and reporting
• Collaborate with paid social, creative, lifecycle, SEO, product, culinary, and chef partnerships teams to turn creator activity into a repeatable growth engine
• Stay on the frontier of creator marketing, platform shifts, AI tooling, and performance measurement so CookUnity keeps learning faster than the category

Qualifications:

You're a performance-minded creator marketer with a builder's mindset. You know the difference between a post that looks good and a program that can scale. You're the kind of person who opens a spreadsheet when others open a deck, then uses that spreadsheet to write a better creative brief.

• 4+ years of experience managing influencer, creator, or affiliate-style partnership programs, ideally for a direct-to-consumer, ecommerce, subscription, marketplace, or food brand
• Experience managing paid creator budgets and negotiating deal structures, including flat fees, performance incentives, usage rights, creator licensing, and paid amplification
• Strong analytical fluency. You are comfortable with data, CAC, payback, conversion, cohort quality, attribution limits, and the difference between reach and commercial signal
• Strong creative judgment. You can brief creators clearly, evaluate whether content will work, and explain why a hook, format, or audience match is likely to perform
• Bias toward system-building over one-off wins. You create playbooks, templates, dashboards, and workflows that make the program stronger after each cycle
• Curious about AI as an operating layer for influencer marketing. No engineering background required; practical experimentation with workflows that make sourcing, research, briefing, outreach, QA, or reporting faster and better
• Detail-oriented project manager who can juggle creators, agencies, contracts, briefs, timelines, budgets, and internal partners without dropping threads
• Commercially sharp and intellectually curious. You bring channel fluency, broader growth judgment, and a clear point of view on where the next dollar should go
• Operate with a high degree of autonomy and accountability. You proactively flag risks, identify opportunities, and push for what you believe in
