About the role
- Own the end-to-end influencer marketing strategy — from program design and creator sourcing to partnership execution, optimization, and performance reporting — with clear goals tied to awareness, engagement, and growth.
- Build and manage a diversified creator portfolio across tiers (customers, community creators, and external influencers), platforms, and formats, including newsletters, video, podcasts, events, social, and educational content.
- Develop long-term creator partnerships, not one-off transactions by nurturing authentic relationships, co-creating high-quality content, and aligning creators with Apollo’s brand voice, POV, and GTM narrative.
- Source, negotiate, and manage influencer partnerships, contracts, budgets, timelines, deliverables, and renewals ensuring operational excellence and strong ROI discipline. Manage agency relationships for key campaigns.
- Design scalable systems for creator onboarding: develop clear briefs, content workflows, approvals, attribution, and regular performance tracking.
- Partner cross-functionally with Social, Content, Product Marketing, Demand, Events, and Community to integrate creators into campaigns, launches, thought leadership, and product storytelling.
- Collaborate with paid and growth teams to identify opportunities to amplify high-performing creator content across paid channels.
- Build measurement frameworks that go beyond vanity metrics, tracking reach, engagement quality, pipeline influence, assisted conversions, lifetime value, and long-term brand lift.
- Continuously test new creator formats, platforms, partnership models, and distribution strategies to stay ahead of creator trends and audience behavior in B2B.
- Represent Apollo externally in creator conversations, partnerships, and industry communities helping position the brand as a trusted partner to modern creators.
