Savage X Fenty is one of the most culturally iconic brands in the world. Influencer marketing is a core acquisition priority and a critical lever in our next phase of growth. We are actively investing in scaling this channel into a high-impact, performance-driven engine that materially contributes to new member acquisition.

We’re looking for a Director of Influencer Marketing to define the vision, strategy, and execution for Savage’s U.S. influencer ecosystem. This leader will scale our creator program into a best-in-class, performance-driven growth channel. The right candidate is commercially sharp, creatively strong, and moves with urgency. They know how to build systems, structure performance-based partnerships, scale teams, and drive measurable impact.

This is a highly visible role with direct exposure to senior leadership and meaningful influence across the Growth organization.

This position reports to the Sr. Director, Acquisition & CRM and partners closely with Growth, Brand, Creative, Merchandising, and our EU influencer team.

How You’ll Make an Impact

As Director of Influencer Marketing, you will:

• Scale influencer marketing into a significant and efficient member acquisition channel.

• Build a structured, performance-driven creator ecosystem spanning micro-influencers and brand ambassadors.

• Own budget management, forecasting, and performance targets for the channel in partnership with senior Growth leadership.

• Establish disciplined performance frameworks tied directly to new member growth, CAC efficiency, and scalable forecasting.

• Drive visible performance momentum within your first two quarters by establishing clear standards, structure, and scalable systems.

• Elevate influencer from a tactical program into a strategic growth lever across the business.

• Maintain a strong pulse on the evolving creator landscape and proactively identify new platforms, formats, and partnership models.

What You’ll Own

Micro Influencer Strategy & Scale

• Define and scale Savage X Fenty’s micro-influencer program into a high-performance acquisition engine.

• Build a consistent recruitment and activation engine that sources, vets, and retains high-quality creators at scale.

• Develop clear performance standards and ROI-positive compensation frameworks.

• Optimize product seeding, campaign strategy, and creative briefs to maximize both content quality and conversion impact.

• Establish scalable systems capable of supporting thousands of creators efficiently.

Brand Ambassador Strategy

• Identify and recruit high-impact brand ambassadors aligned to growth priorities.

• Structure and negotiate commercial partnerships with a strong understanding of pricing, performance expectations, and return on investment.

• Partner with Legal to ensure contracts protect the brand while enabling speed and flexibility.

• Work closely with Paid Social to unlock amplification, whitelisting, and incremental performance opportunities.

Performance & Reporting

• Build executive-ready reporting that clearly connects influencer output to acquisition impact.

• Develop forecasting models and channel projections in partnership with Acquisition leadership.

• Continuously evaluate and optimize compensation structures and performance thresholds.

• Bring commercial rigor to every partnership decision, balancing brand impact with measurable results.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner closely with Paid Media, Acquisition, Social, Creative, and Merchandising to align influencer strategy with product launches and seasonal priorities.

• Ensure influencer content is leveraged across paid, owned, and organic channels.

• Collaborate with the EU influencer team to maintain strategic alignment and global consistency while leading the U.S. strategy.

Leadership & Team Building

• Lead and develop a high-performing influencer team, currently consisting of two coordinators.

• Provide structure, mentorship, and clear performance standards while building out the team to support scale.

• Operate hands-on in early phases to rapidly establish structure, raise performance standards, and set the foundation for scale.

What Success Looks Like in Year One

• Influencer becomes a materially larger contributor to new member growth.

• CAC efficiency improves through structured compensation and performance frameworks.

• A scalable recruitment and management engine is operational.

• Clear reporting and forecasting discipline are in place.

• Influencer is established as a credible, performance-accountable growth channel within the organization.

What This Role Is (and Is Not)

This role is:

• A chance to architect one of the most scalable growth engines in DTC fashion.

• Performance-driven and commercially accountable.

• Highly visible with meaningful executive exposure.

• Fast-moving, collaborative, and outcome oriented.

• A true builder opportunity.

This role is not:

• A gifting coordination position.

• A maintenance role focused solely on existing processes.

• A slow, overly process-heavy environment.

What You Will Bring

• 6–10+ years of experience in influencer or creator partnerships, with a proven track record of scaling programs at meaningful volume.

• Strong DTC and performance marketing experience; subscription experience strongly preferred.

• Demonstrated ability to build or significantly evolve a creator program into a measurable acquisition channel.

• Commercial fluency — comfortable pricing deals, negotiating terms, reading performance data, and making ROI-driven decisions.

• Experience managing budgets, forecasts, and performance targets.

• Builder mindset with a strong bias toward action and accountability.

• Ability to operate with speed and clarity in a high-visibility environment.

• Experience leading and developing teams and building scalable systems.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills

• Ideal candidate brings foundational AI literacy, including experience using generative AI tools, and a proactive mindset to experiment with new technologies to drive productivity and innovation. 

Where we are:

• This role will be based in our El Segundo Headquarters
