Account Manager Influencer Marketing by SAMY

As an Account Manager, you will lead a dedicated division team for L'Oréal, one of the world’s most renowned beauty brands with a powerful presence in influencer marketing. You’ll be responsible for the strategy, influencer campaigns and results within your specific division. Cross-division thinking is second nature to you: you spot opportunities to collaborate and safeguard the cross-category standards set by L'Oréal on a global level. You are the primary point of contact for various division leaders, working in an innovative, ambitious and diverse team.

What you’ll do

• Receive briefs from L'Oréal and work together with SAMY teams to build high-level strategic and creative influencer campaign proposals.

• Identify the strongest influencer profiles, create robust content calendars, and consistently maintain high quality standards.

• Oversee daily campaign performance and make strategic adjustments for optimal results.

• Ensure seamless coordination between influencers and the brand during events and brand activations.

• Work closely with booking and data teams to innovate negotiation strategies, spot market trends, and deliver in-depth post-campaign reports.

• Take the lead in resolving issues during campaign execution, acting quickly and strategically.

• Aggregate influencer results, extract valuable insights and continuously seek opportunities for the client, together with the data team for enhanced social listening perspectives.

• Oversee all legal and financial matters for your assigned brands, ensuring everything runs smoothly and in compliance.

• Identify and propose improvements for the collaboration between brand, agency and creators.

What are we looking for

• You’ve got about 4-6 years of experience in influencer marketing or something similar, and you know your way around running campaigns from start to finish.

• You’re on top of the latest social media trends and you really get how influencer marketing works, especially if you know your way around the Benelux market.

• You’re confident with Excel, and you can dive into data to see what’s working and prepare clear reports.

• You have a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (or some solid, hands-on experience if not).

• You’re strategic, creative, and analytical, but also someone who naturally takes the lead when things need to get moving.

• You work in a structured, solution-first way and people find you inspiring to work with.

• You’re comfortable juggling different tasks and can easily adapt to working with people from other backgrounds or cultures.

• You’re totally comfortable communicating in English, both written and spoken. If you also speak Dutch and French, it’s definitely a plus!
