Head of Influencer

Who are Coolr?

We’re an independent social media agency and team of creatives, social experts, content publishers and change makers. Completely wired into popular culture, our work connects brands with their audiences at scale. With clients such as Burger King, Lidl, Deliveroo and Compare the Market (to name drop a few) our aim is to be the biggest social agency in the world.

The agency is growing at a rapid rate, but we’re only just getting started. In 2026, we have ambitious plans to truly become the stand-out social agency in the UK, the US, and beyond. We have a strong platform for growth and have made great strides forward – now we really want to take things to the next level.

You’ll be responsible for defining how influencer marketing shows up across the agency, ensuring creators are embedded into strategy, studios and community and that our work is consistently culturally relevant, commercially eDective and scalable.

• Ensure best-in-class governance across influencer activity, including compliance, usage rights, disclosure and ethical standards.

• Work with our Influencer Strategist to lead on measurement and effectiveness, evolving how we define and demonstrate the impact of influencer marketing for clients.

• Develop scalable frameworks, principles and processes that enable consistency and quality without stifling creativity.

• Act as a senior voice in new business, shaping influencer-led thinking in pitches and helping convert one-off executions into long-term programmes.

• Lead, mentor and develop the influencer leadership team, empowering them to own delivery while you focus on direction, quality and growth.

What we are looking for 👀

• Extensive experience leading influencer or creator marketing within an agency, platform or brand environment.

• A strong strategic brain, with a clear POV on how influencer marketing should evolve in a social-first world.

• Deep understanding of creator platforms, culture and talent ecosystems - especially TikTok, Instagram and YouTube.

• Proven ability to set vision, build standards and raise the quality of work through others.

• Commercially aware, with experience shaping growth, retainers and long-term creator partnerships.

• Confident operating at senior client level, able to influence, challenge and inspire trust.

• A collaborative leader who brings clarity, calm and ambition to fast-moving environments.

• Curious, culturally fluent and motivated by building something category defining.
