About The Role
Are you a social native and a natural-born creator? We are looking for an Associate Partner to act as the vital bridge between our clients and our strategic partners.

- Community & Conversation: Manage day-to-day engagement and conversations for a diverse range of consumer-facing clients.
- Strategy & Growth: Work with Partners to set growth strategies, spot trending moments, and find scaled opportunities to create brand fame.
- Scheduling & Optimisation: Handle content scheduling at optimal frequencies, analyse performance metrics, and drive channel development.
- Collaboration: Partner closely with our internal influencer, marketing, and client services teams to build UGC creator opportunities and nurture client relationships.
