Who We Are

A creator marketplace managing over 80,000 influencer partnerships monthly An AI-powered platform to streamline creator discovery, outreach, relationship management, and whitelisting Proven playbooks across influencer marketing, paid media, performance creative, and conversion optimization

We partner with over 200 high-growth DTC brands across beauty, wellness, lifestyle, and health. Our team of 185+ operators, analysts, strategists, and creatives manages over $500M in annual media spend and drives meaningful bottom-line impact for our partners.

We believe influencer marketing is becoming the dominant way brands create high-performing advertising.

At Advantage HQ, we don't simply run influencer campaigns—we build creator ecosystems that consistently generate exceptional content, long-term creator partnerships, and measurable business growth.

Our ambition is to build the most valuable creator network in performance marketing, where the world's best creators earn more, produce better content, and build longer-lasting partnerships than anywhere else.

The Role

We are looking for a VP of Influencer Marketing to build and lead one of the strongest creator organizations in the industry.

This is not a campaign management role.

This is a company-building role.

Your mission is to build the creator engine that powers Advantage HQ.

That means expanding one of the industry's highest-quality creator networks, building long-term creator relationships, increasing creator earnings, scaling whitelisting, and ensuring every client has access to exceptional creators capable of producing high-performing content at scale.

You will lead the strategy, systems, technology, and team responsible for every stage of the creator lifecycle—from sourcing and relationship management through campaign execution, creator success, and long-term retention.

You will partner closely with Growth, Creative, Client Services, and Operations to make creator marketing one of the company's greatest competitive advantages.

Success in this role means our creator network becomes increasingly valuable every year—for our clients, our creators, and Advantage HQ.
