Creator & Affiliate Manager
Location: London, hybrid (2 days in Shoreditch office)
Salary: £40,000–£50,000 depending on experience
Full-time
Know how to find the right creators, build strong relationships and turn a good partnership into results?
We’re looking for a Creator & Affiliate Manager to take ownership of creator partnerships across Happy Yolk’s clients — from paid campaigns and gifted collaborations to TikTok Shop affiliate programmes.
You’ll be someone who enjoys both the people and the performance side of the job. You know how to get a creator excited about a brand, write a brief that inspires good content and negotiate a partnership that works for everyone. You’re also interested in what happens next: did the content land, did people act on it, and what should we do differently next time?
Hands-on TikTok Shop affiliate experience is essential for this role, alongside experience managing wider creator or influencer partnerships.
About Happy Yolk
Happy Yolk is an independent social-first creative agency helping brands build awareness, connect with people and drive sales. We bring together strategy, creative, content production, influencer marketing and paid media to make social work for our clients. We care about strong ideas, thoughtful execution and content people actually want to watch, share and act on.
We’re growing, and this is an opportunity to help shape our creator and affiliate offering, working closely with our founder and the wider team.
The role
You’ll manage creator partnerships from initial research and outreach through to briefing, delivery and reporting. Some campaigns will focus on reaching new audiences or creating brilliant content. Others will have a clear sales objective through TikTok Shop. You’ll understand the difference and build the right approach for each.
You’ll work alongside our account, strategy, creative, production and paid media teams, bringing specialist creator knowledge into our client campaigns.
What you’ll be doing
Creator partnerships and campaigns
- Find and recruit creators who make sense for each brand, audience and campaign.
- Manage paid partnerships, gifted collaborations and creator content commissions across TikTok, Instagram and other relevant platforms.
- Own outreach, negotiate fees and deliverables, and coordinate contracts, usage rights and exclusivity.
- Write clear, engaging briefs that give creators direction while making room for their own ideas and style.
- Manage timelines, content reviews, approvals and posting schedules.
- Build ongoing relationships with creators and talent managers, developing a network we can return to across campaigns.

- Keep creator pipelines, budgets and campaign trackers accurate and up to date.
- Deliver clear reports that explain what’s working, what needs attention and what we’ll do next.
- Share creator insights with our creative and strategy teams, and identify content with potential for paid amplification.

- Experience delivering paid creator or influencer campaigns from outreach through to reporting.
- Strong relationship-building and negotiation skills.
- An understanding of what makes creators want to work with a brand and keep working with it.
- Good creative judgement: you can recognise a strong creator fit and help shape content that feels natural to the platform.
- Confidence managing budgets, fees, commissions and performance data.
- Familiarity with creator contracts, content usage rights and advertising disclosure requirements.
- Excellent organisation and follow-through across multiple campaigns or clients.
- Confidence presenting recommendations and results to clients.
