Job details:
We're looking for a Brand Partnerships Senior Manager with 5 to 7+ years of experience to lead and grow our Influencer Marketing vertical. The ideal candidate should have a deep understanding of the influencer ecosystem with a proven record of driving revenue through strategic brand partnerships.
This role is about much more than chasing revenue numbers. It's about opening doors, building meaningful relationships, understanding brands deeply, and creating partnerships that drive long-term growth.
You'll be responsible for identifying new business opportunities, reaching out to decision-makers, pitching Zyra Collective's services, and working closely with internal teams to convert conversations into successful campaigns.
This is NOT a passive account management role. We're looking for someone who's hungry, proactive, commercially sharp, and genuinely enjoys the art of selling - But even more importantly, someone who believes great business is built through authentic relationships with brand POCs, agency partners, internal team and the people behind them.

- Build and maintain CXO-level client relationships.
- Researching and connecting with Brand Managers, Influencer leads, Marketing Managers, CMOs, CXOs, Founders, Digital marketing leads, and other decision-makers across industries.
- Building high-quality lead lists through research, networking, LinkedIn, referrals, industry events, and outbound prospecting.
- Conducting intentional outreach through cold emails, LinkedIn messages, calls, WhatsApp, and networking. We value thoughtful personalization over mass copy-paste templates.
- Booking meetings/calls, understanding client objectives, qualifying opportunities, and moving prospects through the sales pipeline.
- Creating tailored proposals and presentations in collaboration with internal strategy and campaign teams.
- Building long-term relationships that turn one-off projects into recurring partnerships.

- Plan and achieve revenue monthly, yearly & quarterly targets, ensuring consistent business growth.
● What We're Looking For (Experience)
- 2–4 years of experience in business development, sales, brand partnerships, client acquisition, within the influencer marketing space.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills with confidence in client-facing conversations.
- Strong negotiation and persuasion abilities.
- You genuinely enjoy connecting with new people and building relationships. Whether it's through a cold call, LinkedIn message, email, networking event, or coffee chat, you know how to break the ice, create trust, nurture connections, and turn conversations into long-term brand partnerships. People don't feel like they're being sold to, they feel like they're talking to someone who truly understands their goals.
- Understanding of influencer marketing, and social media ecosystems.
- Experience preparing proposals, decks, and commercial discussions.
- Existing relationships with brands, agencies, founders, or marketing professionals are a strong advantage.
● The Kind of Person We Want
• You love the chase
You enjoy finding opportunities, starting conversations, and turning complete strangers into long-term clients.
• You don't hide behind templates
We don't believe in blasting 500 generic emails. You research the brand, understand what they're doing, and write outreach that actually deserves a response.
• You're comfortable picking up the phone
Calls don't intimidate you. Whether it's introducing yourself, following up, or handling objections, you're confident speaking to decision-makers.
• You're persistent
Most deals aren't closed after the first conversation. You follow up consistently, professionally, and with intention until you've exhausted every reasonable opportunity.
• You build relationships, not transactions
People buy from people they trust. You focus on creating genuine partnerships rather than chasing one-time wins.
• You know how to persuade
You understand client pain points, communicate value clearly, handle objections thoughtfully, and negotiate with confidence while protecting agency interests.
• You own your pipeline
You don't wait for inbound leads to land in your inbox. You proactively create opportunities, track them meticulously, and keep momentum alive.
• You're commercially minded
You naturally think about revenue, margins, repeat business, referrals, and long-term account growth.
• You take ownership
If something needs to happen, you make it happen. You don't wait for constant reminders or hand-holding.
• You want to build something meaningful
We're a growing agency, and we're looking for someone who wants to grow with us, contribute ideas, shape processes, and have a real impact on the business.
● Work Setup
