Tracking & Reporting

• Maintain accurate tracking of influencer seeding and community activity
• Track monthly seeding metrics including outreach, acceptance, posts, views and engagement
• Help identify which types of creators and communities are driving the strongest results
• Own the hygiene of our influencer tracker/database, making sure creator information, outreach status, shipping details, posts and performance are consistently accurate and up to date.
• Share a simple weekly recap of standout creator posts, community insights and opportunities

Who You Are

• Extremely organized and detail-oriented. You love a tracker, keep things up to date and don’t let follow-ups fall through the cracks
• Comfortable managing a high volume of creators, outreach and moving pieces at once
• Extremely online, especially on TikTok and Instagram
• Naturally good at finding interesting creators and spotting emerging trends
• Familiar with creator and internet culture and have a strong instinct for who feels right for a brand
• Strong written communicator who can quickly learn the Sauz voice
• Proactive and comfortable taking ownership of recurring tasks
