Account Director - Influencer Marketing

Company description

Welcome to Our World 
We’ve been leading the charge in the affiliate industry from day one—establishing performance marketing and paving the way for future innovations. We're known for maintaining one of the largest, most reliable partnership platforms with impeccable, personalized service. 
 
Founded in Santa Barbara, California in 1998, CJ (formerly Commission Junction) stands as the most trusted name in performance marketing. We specialize in building partnerships between top brands and reputable publishers to drive revenue and business growth. CJ’s industry-leading solutions make us the platform of choice for over 3,800 global brands across sectors like retail, travel, finance, technology, and home services. As part of Publicis Groupe, our savvy data capabilities, cutting-edge tech, and strategic expertise facilitate genuine connections, allowing brands to reach consumers wherever they are. 

At CJ, we’re not just participating in the creator economy, we’re helping define its future.

CJ Influence is our end-to-end influencer and creator commerce solution, built to turn cultural relevance into measurable business impact. We operate at the intersection of content, commerce, and data, designing creator strategies that don’t just generate buzz, but drive full-funnel performance and deliver real revenue outcomes.

From TikTok Shop and Amazon to DTC and in-store retail experiences, our team builds and activates high-performing creator programs across the entire commerce ecosystem. We partner with some of the world’s most recognized Fortune 1000 brands, helping them unlock growth through authentic creator relationships that convert.

What sets us apart, and what you’d be a part of, is our proprietary, market-leading technology. It empowers us to identify the right creators, activate them at scale, and continuously optimize performance based on real-time data. This isn’t guesswork or vanity metrics, it’s a performance engine built for modern marketing.

Joining CJ Influence means working at the forefront of a fast-evolving space, where creativity meets analytics, and where your work directly shapes how brands grow in the creator economy. If you’re excited by innovation, measurable impact, and building what’s next, you’ll fit right in.
