  • Start Date: October 2026

About Us:

  • Adhesive Media is an influencer marketing agency based, connecting leading brands with top-performing YouTubers. We represent 250+ YouTubers, partner with 100+ brands per month, and have closed $30M+ in sponsorship deals.
  • We are hiring for an Influencer Partnerships Associate to pitch & close sponsorship deals between our YouTubers & Sponsors. You’ll focus on a handful of top key Sponsors to grow their business with Adhesive Media, while communicating daily with the best YouTube channels. 
  • You’ll grow more in 3 months at Adhesive Media than you have in the last 3 years of your life. We’re looking for someone who is highly competent, very organized, and willing to take on a challenge.

Responsibilities:

1) Influencer Partnerships

  • Build relationships with key YouTubers to pitch their channels for brand deals.
  • Grow 7-10 key brand relationships to be consistent sponsors of our roster of creators.
  • Negotiate & close hundreds of brand deals per month.

2) Client-facing communication with YouTubers & Sponsors.

  • Provide an exceptional experience for creators and brands, focusing on speedy, high quality, and honest/transparent communication.
  • You’ll encounter many tricky and unique scenarios, so you’ll need to be a great critical thinker & comfortable making decisions on your own.

3) Project Management

  • Keep databases (Airtable, Google Sheets) and project management tools (Asana, Notion) updated.
  • Wherever possible, implement process improvements to enhance business efficiency and improve client service.

Skills & Competencies:

1) Work Experience: 4-8 years work experience in Influencer Partnerships, Project Management, Customer Success, or Operations.

  • Brand Partnerships / Influencer Sponsorships experience is highly preferred, but it can be learned quickly. 
  • Organization is very important for a role like this, so if you have strong PM or Operations experience, you’d also be a strong fit. 

2) Tech Savviness: Proficiency in Airtable, Notion, Asana, and Google Sheets is required.

  • Our internal business relies on Airtable, tasks are managed in Asana, SOPs are housed in Notion, and negotiations often happen via email and Google Sheets.
  • Our business is remote so the ideal candidate will be overall quick & effective with the computer.

3) Excellent Email Communication Skills: Excellent Written & Verbal English Skills.

  • Must respond to Sponsors & Creators quickly and effectively with the right information.
  • Must be comfortable picking up the phone & calling a client for important matters.

4) Attention to Detail: We’re handling large influencer campaigns often worth $5K-$50K for one sponsorship. Any mistakes can be costly, so high attention to detail is crucial.

5) Critical Thinking: The ideal candidate can critically think through issues & make decisions on their own. Sometimes there will not be a straight-forward solution to a problem found in an SOP, and you’ll be required to think outside of the box.

6) Reliable: We have ads running and deals closing daily. We need someone reliable who can work beyond regular hours for tight deadlines.

7) Relationship Builder: Relationships are not built just off your personality, they’re built off adding value & showing up for your clients. So we’re not looking for the best “personality” person, but rather someone that is honest, reliable, and values long-term relationships over a quick buck.
