About the Role

The Director, Influencer Analytics will lead the agency's influencer analytics function, transforming complex data into strategic narratives that shape influencer strategies and demonstrate impact to clients. Reporting directly to the SVP of Analytics, this role involves architecting measurement frameworks, guiding real-time optimization and long-term strategy, and setting standards across the agency for influencer performance measurement. The position requires a passion for emerging tech and influencers, a data-driven approach, and leadership in a fast-paced agency environment, with responsibilities spanning multiple geographies and verticals.

Key Responsibilities

  • Be the subject matter expert in influencer marketing analytics, providing guidance and strategic insight to internal teams and clients while also able to explain nuances of analysis to more junior staff.
  • Collaborate with account, strategy, and creative teams to ensure influencer analytics are embedded at every stage of the campaign lifecycle.
  • Develop and deploy a standardized toolkit for influencer measurement, including scorecards, dashboards, and data collection protocols.
  • Design and own measurement frameworks that capture full-funnel impact of influencer campaigns — from reach and engagement to sentiment, brand lift, and conversion.
  • Create and deliver pre-campaign baselines, post-campaign, quarterly, and year-end reports that provide performance insights, business implications, and clear storytelling and actionable ideas for executive audiences.
  • Lead the agency's Influencer Marketing Analytics Taskforce, driving alignment across North America on methodologies, tools, and reporting approaches.
  • Contribute to the development of advanced models and methodologies, such as ROI forecasting, attribution frameworks, and creator value modeling.
  • Partner with Project Management and Operations to understand team allocations and profitability, and work alongside team leads on resourcing optimization.

Requirements

  • Strong interest in the creator economy, platform evolution, and the cultural impact of influencers.
  • Demonstrated expertise and experience translating data and research into strategic insights and recommendations.
  • 5+ years of relevant full-time experience, with at least 4 years in influencer marketing analytics, social data, or digital measurement within an agency environment.
  • Demonstrated expertise in designing measurement frameworks, performance benchmarking, and campaign optimization for influencer programs.
  • Strong proficiency in data analysis and visualization; experience with Tableau, Power BI, Excel, or Google Data Studio preferred.
  • Experience with SQL, Python, or R is a plus but not required.
  • Desire and capacity to take ownership of workstreams, manage fast deadlines and agile deliverable processes, nurture client relationships, and collaborate with diverse teams.
