Your role at Kittl 🥁
Creators are how Kittl reaches small business owners through people they already trust. You’ll own that channel end to end as our one partnerships hire: our YouTube and Instagram creators, the affiliate programme and the partner network we already have. You’ll decide who we sign, renew, scale or cut, based on subscriptions and CAC. We’re not building a big team for this. We want one person who runs hundreds of partnerships by handing the repetitive work to AI and keeping the judgement, negotiation and relationships for themselves. This is hands-on creator marketing, not B2B partnerships or business development.
What you'll do 📋
Own the channel: Take over our creator and affiliate network in your first weeks and keep subscriptions coming while you rebuild it
Sign the creators that convert: Find, vet and close the creators that print-on-demand sellers, Etsy and Shopify shop owners and small product brands actually listen to, including in new language markets. Structure every deal to fit: flat fees, performance hybrids, affiliate conversions, long-term ambassadorships
Set the creative bar: Write briefs that protect our quality without killing the creator’s voice, and give fast, decisive feedback on every draft
Make the money calls: Scale, renegotiate or cut every creator based on subscriptions and CAC, even when attribution is messy. Team up with paid to amplify the content that converts
Grow the affiliate programme: Set commissions, onboard partners and turn sign-ups into recurring producers
Scale yourself with AI: Build the sourcing pipelines, rate benchmarks, brief templates and reporting that let one person run hundreds of partnerships, mostly with Claude. The judgement on fit, rates and who to back stays with you
What you'll need ✅
A track record of creator deals: 5+ years negotiating and closing paid YouTube and Instagram creator deals yourself, including performance hybrids and usage rights
Conversion over reach: You judge creators on what they convert, not what they reach, and you make budget calls when attribution is imperfect
Sharp creator taste: You can spot which creators will move the needle for Kittl and which will just burn budget
AI-native: You use AI tools daily and follow the creative AI space closely. You’ve built at least one workflow that changed how much you could handle. You don’t need to be an engineer
Affiliate mechanics: You’ve run commission tiers, tracking and partner activation hands-on
Speed at volume: You carry a large partner network without dropping threads, move without being chased and follow up until the deal closes
Nice to have 👌
Built or scaled an influencer programme at a SaaS, subscription or creative AI company; e-commerce and DTC also work
Built automations with Make, Zapier, n8n, APIs or vibe-coding tools

You'll do well here if 🌟
You pick up problems nobody assigned you. If something's broken and no one has stepped up, you're the person who does
You'd rather make the call and adjust than wait until you're certain. Speed is how we win
You want to own a domain deeply enough that people rely on your judgement in it, whether or not you manage anyone
You'll argue for your position and commit fully when the call goes the other way
You care about details other people would call excessive. We hold a higher bar than most, on purpose
You use AI constantly and still own every word you ship
Every new hire should raise the bar in some meaningful way, not just fill a seat. We hold to that, and it's why you'll be working with the most talented people from all over the world.
Benefits 🎁
Real ownership: You own what you ship, end to end
Work at the edge of AI and design: You'll be learning on the frontier, not reading about it
