Campaign Manager – Influencer Marketing

About the job
Campaign Manager – Influencer Marketing

📍 South Africa (Remote) | Full Time | Marketing / Campaign Management

Placed by Scaled – connecting top South African talent with world-class global companies

We’re hiring for a fast-scaling influencer marketing agency in the AI and tech space — where campaigns are complex, performance-driven, and directly tied to client growth.

Right now, demand is outpacing delivery.

They’re working with high-growth AI brands, managing significant campaign budgets, and actively hiring multiple Campaign Managers to support that growth.

This role sits at the core of their delivery function — owning campaigns end-to-end and acting as the bridge between strategy, execution, and client success.

If you think influencer marketing is just coordinating creators, this role isn’t for you. You’ll be rolling your sleeves up and doing what you need to do to make the campaigns a success.

The Opportunity 🚀

You’ll take full ownership of influencer campaigns — from initial strategy through to execution, optimisation, and reporting.

This is not a coordination role. You are responsible for outcomes.
You’ll sit in the middle of the campaign structure — senior enough to own accounts and clients, with the expectation that you will grow into managing junior team members.
As the business scales (and leverages AI internally), this role becomes even more commercially and strategically focused.
You won’t just be following processes. You’ll be improving them.

What You’ll Be Doing 💻

You’ll build and execute influencer campaign strategies — aligned to client goals and performance metrics
You’ll manage the full campaign lifecycle (A–Z) — planning, influencer sourcing, outreach, negotiation, execution, and reporting
You’ll identify and build relationships with high-quality creators — ensuring strong campaign fit and performance
You’ll handle all client communication — leading updates, managing expectations, and driving confidence
You’ll track and optimise performance — focusing on ROI, ROAS, and campaign effectiveness
You’ll manage multiple campaigns simultaneously — maintaining quality, timelines, and budget control
You’ll contribute to new business — supporting pitches, identifying opportunities, and helping grow accounts
You’ll support and eventually manage junior team members — helping scale delivery as the company grows
You’ll take ownership of results — success is measured on outcomes, not activity

What We’re Looking For 🔎

The ideal candidate will:

Have 2+ years experience in influencer marketing, with some agency-side experience
Have proven experience managing campaigns end-to-end — not just execution, but strategy and performance
Be confident in client-facing environments — able to lead conversations and build strong relationships
You have some people management experience, or have led project teams
Have experience working across UK and/or US markets (ideally in tech or high-growth sectors)
Be highly organised — able to manage multiple moving parts without losing control
Be proactive and solutions-driven — you don’t wait for direction
Be commercially aware — you understand how campaigns drive revenue and retention

This experience is nice to have:

Experience in AI or tech-focused campaigns
Track record of upselling or growing existing accounts
Exposure to paid media / amplification strategies

Competitive base
Performance-based incentives
Commission on new business leads
Bonuses tied to client renewals and account growth
Fully remote role
Flexible working hours (core hours required, 9- 3 UK time)
