Location: South Africa – Remote

About DolFinContent

DolFinContent is a fast-growing influencer talent management agency representing creators across social media. We work directly with brands, agencies, and influencer marketing partners to secure and manage paid partnerships for the talent we represent.

As our roster and volume of brand opportunities continue to grow, we are looking for an experienced

Creator Brand Partnership Manager based in South Africa to take ownership of inbound brand opportunities from initial inquiry through negotiation and closing.

The Role

This is a commercial, deal-focused role for someone who understands the business side of influencer marketing.

You will manage inbound opportunities from brands and agencies interested in working with our creators. Your primary responsibility is to turn qualified opportunities into signed partnerships while protecting our creators' value and building strong relationships with brands and agencies.

You will own the negotiation process, including responding to inquiries, recommending creators, quoting rates, negotiating deliverables and usage rights, securing creator approval, closing agreements, and coordinating internally once a campaign is confirmed.

We are specifically looking for someone who already understands the influencer marketing, creator partnerships, or talent management industry and has direct experience negotiating paid brand deals.

Key Responsibilities

• Manage inbound brand and agency partnership inquiries across our creator roster
• Respond quickly and professionally to new opportunities
• Review campaign briefs and identify the most suitable creators
• Build and send creator shortlists when brands are looking for talent
• Quote appropriate creator rates based on deliverables, platform, usage, exclusivity, campaign scope, and creator profile
• Negotiate rates, deliverables, usage rights, paid media, exclusivity, timelines, and other commercial terms
• Maximize deal value while maintaining realistic pricing that allows opportunities to close
• Follow up consistently with brands and agencies until opportunities are won or closed
• Review campaign agreements to ensure negotiated commercial terms are accurately reflected
• Secure creator approval before partnerships are finalized
• Maintain strong relationships with brands, agencies, and influencer marketing partners
• Coordinate with Talent Managers and Campaign Coordinators once deals are confirmed
• Maintain accurate records of negotiations, rates, deal stages, and outcomes
• Identify opportunities to introduce additional creators when brands are looking for multiple influencers
• Help increase the agency's overall deal volume, close rate, and revenue

Who We're Looking For

Previous professional experience at an influencer marketing agency, creator management agency, talent management agency, or similar creator-economy business is strongly preferred.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have personally handled brand negotiations and paid influencer partnerships, rather than only campaign execution, social media management, or creator onboarding.

You should have:

• Previous experience in influencer marketing, talent management, creator partnerships, or a closely related agency environment
• Hands-on experience negotiating paid influencer/creator brand deals
• Strong understanding of influencer rates and campaign pricing
• Knowledge of TikTok videos, Instagram Reels, Stories, YouTube integrations, Shorts, and other common creator deliverables
• Understanding of usage rights, paid media/whitelisting, exclusivity, licensing, and campaign timelines
• Strong commercial instincts and negotiation skills
• The ability to know when to push for a higher rate and when a realistic counteroffer is more likely to close
• Excellent written and verbal English
• Strong professional email communication skills
• Ability to manage a high volume of simultaneous conversations and negotiations
• Excellent organization and follow-up discipline
• A proactive, revenue-driven mindset
• Ability to work independently in a fast-paced remote environment

Strong Advantage If You Have

• Existing relationships with influencer marketing agencies or brands
• Experience representing multiple creators simultaneously
• Experience working with US-based brands or agencies
• Experience using CRM or deal-tracking systems such as HubSpot
• Experience reviewing influencer campaign agreements
• A demonstrated track record of closing influencer partnerships

Working Hours

This is a South Africa-based remote position working closely with a US-based team and international clients.

Candidates must be comfortable working hours that provide meaningful overlap with European and US Eastern Time business hours.

Important

This is not an entry-level influencer marketing position and is not primarily a social media management role.

We are looking for someone who understands the commercial side of the creator economy and can confidently communicate with brands, negotiate creator partnerships, and close deals.

If you have previously worked at an influencer marketing or talent management agency and have direct experience negotiating paid brand deals for creators, we would love to hear from you.
