Your role at Kittl 🥁

You’ll run and scale Kittl’s influencer partnerships. We’ve worked with 1,000+ influencers, and they’re one of our biggest acquisition channels for print-on-demand sellers and small product businesses. Your job is to automate, scale and build it out into a channel that keeps growing without a bigger team. From there, it expands into affiliates and business partnerships. We want someone who moves fast, sells well and uses AI to do the work of a small team.

What you'll do 📋

• Run and scale influencer partnerships: Own our influencer programme day to day and grow the subscriptions it brings in
• Automate it: Turn sourcing, outreach, onboarding and reporting into AI workflows, so the channel scales without a bigger team
• Sign the right influencers: Find, pitch and close the influencers our sellers listen to, and move budget to the ones that convert
• Build it out as an acquisition channel: Make it measurable and forecastable, with clear reporting on spend against subscriptions
• Expand: Grow into affiliates and business partnerships with the platforms, tools and communities our sellers already use

What you'll need ✅

• Growth you owned: Around 3 years in a startup or scale-up, in a founders associate, growth or BizOps role, where you moved a number yourself
• Commercial instinct: You've pitched and closed deals or partnerships yourself and enjoy the negotiation
• Problem-solver: You take an unclear problem, work it out from the data and explain your reasoning
• AI-native builder: You've built at least one AI workflow (Claude, n8n, Make or similar) that changed how much you could get done
• Proactive and creative: You say "this happened, so I solved it" rather than "what should I do?", and you try angles others haven't
• Nice to have 👌
• Experience with influencer, creator or affiliate partnerships
• E-commerce, print-on-demand or creator-economy background
• Interview process 🔍
• Intro call with your recruiter (30 min)
• Interview with the hiring manager (45 min)
• Take-home challenge: a real problem from our influencer programme: how you'd work it out, what you'd do first and what you'd automate
• Challenge discussion (60 min)
• Bar Raiser interview (30 min)

You'll do well here if 🌟

• You pick up problems nobody assigned you. If something's broken and no one has stepped up, you're the person who does
• You'd rather make the call and adjust than wait until you're certain. Speed is how we win
• You want to own a domain deeply enough that people rely on your judgement in it, whether or not you manage anyone
• You'll argue for your position and commit fully when the call goes the other way
• You care about details other people would call excessive. We hold a higher bar than most, on purpose
• You use AI constantly and still own every word you ship
• Every new hire should raise the bar in some meaningful way, not just fill a seat. We hold to that, and it's why you'll be working with the most talented people from all over the world.

Benefits 🎁

• Real ownership: You own what you ship, end to end
• Work at the edge of AI and design: You'll be learning on the frontier, not reading about it
• Work-life balance: 30 vacation days a year, plus public holidays
• VESOP: Enrollment in our Virtual Employee Stock Option Plan. When Kittl grows in value, you share in it
• Learning & development: Annual L&D budget for your professional growth
• Hackathons: Quarterly hackathons to experiment and build new ideas
• Kittl Week: Once a year, the whole team gets together for a week to work, celebrate and get inspired
