Two million people have purchased OpenStore products, and soon, we’ll launch a consumer shopping app, helping people discover products in an all-new way.

We are backed with $150M+ from world-class investors such as Atomic, Khosla Ventures, Founders Fund, General Catalyst, and Lux Capital.

The Influencer and Ambassador Lead will lead the development and execution of our influencer marketing strategies and brand partnerships to amplify our brand’s reach and engagement. This role requires a strategic thinker with a deep understanding of social media landscapes, influencer trends, and the ability to drive impactful campaigns that resonate with our target audience. The ideal candidate will have a proven track record in influencer marketing, exceptional leadership skills, and the ability to foster strong relationships with influencers and brand ambassadors.

WHO YOU ARE: 

• You thrive in fast-paced environments.  At this stage we’re still learning. You will iterate with marketers, analysts and product managers to focus on high impact work.

• You like to build and ship.  You have opinions and can drive forward to delivery. You think strategically about prioritization.

• You are strategic. You’re focused on where you’re going and build the strategies and plans to achieve the goal. You’re not afraid to admit something didn’t work and have backup plans brewing for your next test.

• You are analytically rigorous. You have a deep bias towards using data and analyses to drive decisions. Your second language is performance KPIs and you know your numbers and the inputs needed to continue improving those KPI metrics.

• You communicate and collaborate effectively. You know how to deliver the right message to the relevant audience at the appropriate level of detail. You co-create solutions that are better than the sum of individuals’ ideas. You embrace intellectual friction as a feature of improvement, not a relationship bug. 

WHAT YOU HAVE:

• 7+ years of experience in influencer marketing, with a proven track record of successful campaign execution.

• Strong understanding of social media platforms, influencer landscapes, and digital marketing trends.
