as authentic to audiences as they do to the creators themselves.    WHAT YOU'LL DO  Creator Identification and Recruitment  * Identify, contact, and recruit creators on an ongoing basis, building a

model that is efficient, scalable, and replicable  * Support the expansion of Dove's creator program into additional markets, adapting the approach for different regions, platforms, and audiences  *

partnering with brand clients, with clear and structured communication skills  * Experience using influencer management platforms and tools (such as CreatorIQ, Traackr, Grin, or similar) and social listening or analytics tools  * Strong analytical skills, with the ability to report on campaign performance, interpret engagement data, and translate findings into actionable recommendations  * An authentic interest in creator culture and social platforms, with an understanding of what makes influencer content feel genuine versus forced  * An appreciation for inclusive representation, with experience or a strong interest in working with diverse creators who reflect a broad range of backgrounds, identities, body types, and experiences  * Highly organized, with a proactive, solutions-focused approach to managing complexity  * Professional proficiency in English; additional languages are a plus, particularly if relevant to multi-market expansion  Gen AI and Agentic
