Director, Creator Management ROLE SUMMARY The Director, Creator Management leads the "Creators" pillar within the CAIT (Creators, Affiliates, Influencers, Talent) department for their assigned pod.
This role is a leader who goes beyond simple Creator procurement to set the creative standard from the initial brainstorm through to the final SMA (Social Media Ad), ensuring the department’s output is cast for relevance, directed for quality, and optimized for views. You will oversee the strategy and operations for sourcing high-volume, diverse makers and talent to fuel our clients’ brand channels. You will bridge the gap between the CAIT team and the cross-functional team, ensuring that our external creator network is integrated directly into the AIM (Analyze, Ideate, Make) workflow to drive SMA Excellence.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Strategic Integration SMA Excellence The New “Creative” Director: Partner with Client Partnerships, Strategy, and Creative leadership to architect creator-first campaigns. You will translate high-level brand concepts into casting strategies, ensuring we use creators to solve creative problems (diversity, volume, authenticity) that internal teams cannot solve alone. AIM Session Leadership: Oversee the integration of Associates and Residents into AIM sessions.
Train the team to proactively pitch creator-led concepts that drive business results, moving the CAIT team from an "order taker" to a strategic partner. Quality Control: Define and enforce the standard for SMA Excellence. Ensure the team understands the distinction between "Creator as Talent" (delivering raw performance/assets) and "Veditor" (technical assembly), ensuring delivered assets are creatively effective and commercially safe.
Virtual Directing Protocols: Establish the frameworks and training for "Virtual Directing," empowering your team to guide creator talent toward the right performance while the footage is still being shot. Team Operations Financial Health Mentorship: Manage and develop a team of Associates and Residents. Train them to think less like project managers and more like Casting Directors and Producers.
Pipeline Management: Oversee the end-to-end operational health of the Creator pillar. While Associates handle execution, you are accountable for the systems regarding contract negotiations, payment processing, and project timelines to ensure speed and compliance. Margin Efficiency: Monitor the financial health of creator projects within your pod.
Optimize workflows to reduce rounds of revisions and ensure we are delivering high-volume assets at a margin that works for the business. Risk Management: Serve as the escalation point for complex creator negotiations or usage rights issues, protecting the agency and client from liability.
