Creator Executive (Influencer Marketing)
Application Deadline: 20 November 2026
Department: Marketing
Employment Type: Full Time
Location: Cape Town
Compensation: R25,000 - R30,000 / month
Description
Buttermilk is the London-born creator agency behind the campaigns your favourite influencers are actually posting.
Prada Beauty's US launch. Gap's Tyla collab that broke the internet. Mugler's community-first relaunch. Primark's biggest brand push in years. Liquid I.V.'s "Chase the High."
This is a team that turns creators into cultural moments for some of the biggest names in fashion, beauty and lifestyle, and they've built a genuine reputation doing it, not just a portfolio page.
They've grown from a London HQ into a 130+ person, multi-office operation spanning New York, Dubai and Rio, and Creator Services alone is 70-80 people deep.
It's fast, it's high-volume, and it's the real thing: real budgets, real global brands, real creators with real followings, not a junior team running spreadsheets in the corner.
Now they're building their first South African presence, and Marketing Pros is opening the door. This isn't a one-off placement, it's the start of a proper regional hub for Buttermilk in Cape Town, and the first person or two through that door will help shape what that hub becomes.
For a South African influencer creator marketer who wants exposure to genuinely global, culturally relevant campaigns, without giving up the stability of an SA-based role, this is about as good as it gets.
The Role
- Creator Discovery & Outreach: identify and reach out to potential creators (brand fans and micro-influencers) that align with client objectives.
- Creator Onboarding & Management: facilitate onboarding for new creators; serve as primary point of contact, maintaining strong, ongoing communication.
- Content Reviews & Approvals: review and approve content to ensure it meets brand guidelines and client expectations.
- Negotiations & Contracting: handle negotiations and contracting for micro-influencers, ensuring cost-efficiency and compliance with campaign budgets.
- Logistics Management: oversee logistics for product send-outs and other campaign materials.
- Data Entry & Campaign Monitoring: accurately input data into the campaign dashboard and monitor progress against set KPIs.
- Collaboration & Optimization: collaborate with internal teams to optimize campaign performance; provide input and tips to less experienced team members as part of a buddy system.
- Industry Trends: stay informed on social media/influencer marketing trends, ASA guidelines, and platform updates.
The Person
Experience & Qualifications: 1+ years' experience in project management/creator management, ideally agency; mandatory IFM (or similar) experience; strong track record managing creator relationships end-to-end.
Key Characteristics: Organisational skills; interpersonal skills; proactive & solution-oriented; strong IFM & social media knowledge (ASA guidelines); adaptability & resilience; commitment to high standards.
Measurement of Success: Weekly target delivery; rate benchmarks (response, sign-up, earned content); cost-efficiency; timely delivery; data accuracy; positive team/manager feedback.
Preferred but not mandatory: Client-specific experience (e.g. L'Oreal/beauty brands); paid influencer & gifting campaign experience; agency background.
