Ready Set Rocket (a Sia Company) is looking for a Freelance Influencer Strategist to shape and execute creator partnerships that fuel integrated, performance-driven campaigns. This role requires close partnership with our Social, Growth, Creative and Paid Media teams to ensure creator content ladders into broader brand awareness, engagement and performance goals. You’ll bring a strong POV on the talent landscape, the ability to recognize and match creators to the right campaigns at the right moment, and the agility to work across diverse clients and categories.
