About the role

The Influencer and Community Engagement Lead owns GoTyme Bank's influencer and community strategy: from understanding who the taste-makers and taste-followers are, to building and maintaining relationships with them, to making sure every influencer engagement is chosen, briefed, and measured in a way that actually moves the brand forward. This role manages a talent mix spanning nano, micro, and mega influencers (eventually celebrities) as well as everyday individuals and communities, across categories like lifestyle, tech, family, food & beverage, fashion, and beauty. The KOL Lead also owns the annual influencer strategy, budget allocation, and execution to scale across GoTyme Bank’s always on and launch campaigns.

Influencer & Community Landscape

• Maintain a strong, current understanding of key influencers and communities — who the taste-makers are, who the taste-followers are, and how each group communicates and uses their platform.

• Build and maintain the right connections, and know how to reach out to them effectively.

• Stay current on social media trends and how people communicate across platforms.

Content Briefing & Campaign Support

• Develop different types of briefs suited to different content formats and campaign needs.

• Understand how influencers contribute to a campaign's overall content strategy and integrate them effectively.

Influencer Selection & Effectiveness

• Choose influencers that are the right fit for the brand and the campaign — assessing reach, follower alignment with GoTyme's target audience, and content quality.

• Analyze engagement, impressions, and reach data to judge effectiveness, and use that data to keep improving selection.

• Bring creativity to how GoTyme Bank engages with influencers, beyond standard sponsored posts.

Relationship & Talent Management

• Build long-term relationships with influencers rather than one-off transactions.

• Manage a mix of nano, micro, and mega influencers, with a growing need to manage celebrity talent as the brand scales.

• Also manage everyday individuals and communities, not just professional influencers.

Community & Category Coverage

• Maintain a solid understanding of the different communities GoTyme needs to reach across categories — lifestyle, tech, family, food & beverage, fashion, beauty, and others as the brand expands.

• Know how to tailor influencer approach to each category and cohort.

Reputation & Risk Management

• Stay aware of issues involving specific influencers and how public sentiment toward them could affect GoTyme Bank's brand reputation.

• Flag and manage risk proactively before it becomes a brand issue.

Project & Agency Management

• Project-manage influencer campaigns end-to-end, including working with external agencies and analytics dashboards where needed.

• Plan and execute product seeding — developing the concept and deciding the right timing for each KOL seeding initiative.

Budget & Annual Strategy

• Own budget allocation for influencer initiatives throughout the year.

• Build the overall annual influencer strategy aligned with team objectives and KPIs.

• Choose the right talent mix to elevate the brand while staying within budget.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, or related field.

• Minimum 3–5 years of experience in influencer/KOL marketing, social media, or talent management, preferably in fintech, tech, or consumer B2C.

• Experience managing a mix of influencer tiers (nano to mega), with exposure to celebrity talent management a plus.

• Proven experience with product seeding, content briefing, and campaign performance analysis.

• Experience managing budgets and building annual strategic plans.

• Strong project management skills and experience working with external agencies.
