Creator Marketing Manager, Whatnot

• You’re a creator marketer with strong taste in internet-native short-form content and a clear eye for what makes creator-led ads work
• You know how to find the right creators, understand what makes their content credible, and turn that instinct into content that can perform in paid channels
• You’re part talent scout, part dealmaker, part operator. You’re comfortable working across creator sizes, from small UGC creators who can produce at volume to larger influencers who need more hand-holding but can bring stronger reach or category credibility
• You care about performance, not vanity metrics. You want to know what caught attention, what converted, what we should repeat, and what we should cut
• People who do well at Whatnot tend to be comfortable figuring things out as they go, biased toward action, and genuinely curious about what they're building. They care more about outcomes than credit and stay close to the product and the people using it
• As our next creator marketing manager, you should have 3+ years of experience in creator marketing, influencer marketing, UGC, or performance creative
• Proven experience sourcing, signing, and managing creators end-to-end
• Experience briefing creators to self-produce content with performance in mind
• Commercial instincts across creator fees, usage rights, deliverables, timelines, and renewals
• Strong organisation and follow-through. You can run a high-volume creator pipeline without letting details slip
• A test-and-learn mindset. You’re comfortable reading creative performance data and using it to decide what to repeat, cut, or try next
• Comfort operating in ambiguity and building the playbook while executing every week
• Fluent English plus fluent German
