👋 Who we are

Born Social is a full service social media agency designed for the new era of advertising. Our client list includes household names like Guinness, Primark, Ford, and ASDA as well as the next generation of big brands like Captain Morgan and Seedlip.

As a proud B Corp we work hard to attract, retain and develop the best social-first talent and create a culture where individuals can thrive. We’re a team of over 175 people across the UK & US and growing!

Excitingly, we're now looking to bring in a Head of Influence to spearhead our creator offering for clients: building, launching and growing our creator product.

As our Head of Influence, you’ll play the critical role in scaling our creator offering, leading the development of the product and processes, and growing it commercially.

✏️ What you'll be doing:

• Product Development: working with our clients to scale a Born Social creator product that delivers value for the businesses we work with, and stands out in the marketplace
• Commercial Growth: building and growing the creator revenue stream for Born Social, managing pipelines and winning new briefs
• Award-Winning Output: delivering best-in-class creator output for our clients that smashes KPIs, wins awards, and integrates with broader delivery
• Thought Leadership: building our reputation as creator experts, becoming widely known in the industry for our view on the role they play in building social-first brands
  

👀 Who we're looking for:

This role is perfect for anyone who's had strong experience in a influencer/creator role in an agency for the last few years and is looking to take on a new leadership role.

Specifically, we're on the lookout for:

• Minimum of 7 years agency experience in a creator/influencer role
• A track record of pitching and delivering industry leading creator campaigns, rooted in cultural relevance and social insights
• Experience of introducing new products, services and IP agency-side
• An ability to lead and inspire others
• An industry voice with a distinctive POV on creator marketing
• Confidence in developing high-level client relationships
• A great presenter, confident in convincing clients to invest in creators

✌️ Our values:

Our values aim to pinpoint the magic ingredients for us at our best. We look for people who share our values and can add to our culture.

See Challenge as Opportunity... is about our attitude and to be very clear, this is not a value of optimism, nor is it about loving every challenge.

Say It Simply... is how we communicate. Think of the basic rules of communication - honest, clear, confident.

Do What You Say... is the crux of our reputation and longevity. When you join Born Social, our trust is fully given. It is yours to lose.

Make Each Other Better... is about our culture of collaboration and commitment to development. We are only as good as the people around us so we all take responsibility for developing each other, as well as ourselves.

Consciously Contribute...is bigger than all the others. It ensures we grow right. It broadens our focus beyond Born Social and cements our commitment to doing what’s just, not what’s easy or immediately self-serving.
