About The Position

Apollo is looking for a strategic and operator-minded Senior Influencer Marketing Manager to build and scale a creator and influencer ecosystem that drives both brand impact and real business growth. This is a senior individual contributor role with full ownership of our influencer strategy, partnerships, and performance. This isn’t a sponsorship-only role. You’ll design a multi-channel influencer program that fuels awareness, credibility, community, and pipeline, spanning written content, short-form and long-form video, podcasts, events, and community activations. You’ll work closely with Brand, Content, Product Marketing, Demand, and Community to integrate creators into our campaigns, launches, and our always-on storytelling engine. You’ll combine relationship building, sharp creative instincts, and rigorous performance measurement to turn trusted creators into long-term brand partners. And you’ll continuously prove the ROI of influencer marketing as a meaningful growth lever for Apollo. This role is ideal for someone who can think like a strategist, operate like a owner, and build systems that scale.
