We are used by hundreds of thousands of users and over 10,000 teams.

Role Description

We’re looking for a senior, highly strategic Creator Marketing Lead to own creator partnerships at Chronicle end-to-end.

We want to partner with the smartest voices in design, tech, and productivity to show the world what Chronicle can do. This is a 0→1 and 1→10 role - you’ll design our creator strategy, build and manage relationships globally, and turn creators into a repeatable, scalable acquisition channel.

You will own the entire lifecycle of creator partnerships: from identifying the right builders and storytellers on YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok, to negotiating deals, shaping creative briefs, and tracking performance. You will work closely with our Growth and Product teams to align creator content with launches, features, and our broader narrative.

This role is ideal for someone who has deep experience running creator or influencer programs for US audiences, ideally for early-stage SaaS, prosumer, or developer tools.

What You'll Own

Creator Partnerships & Strategy (Primary Focus)

• Design and own Chronicle’s global creator strategy across YouTube, LinkedIn, Instagram, and TikTok
• Identify, onboard, and manage creators across all tiers - from niche productivity experts to massive design channels
• Build long-term, authentic creator partnerships, moving away from transactional one-off posts
• Own outreach, negotiation, contracting, timelines, and delivery end-to-end
• Develop sharp creative briefs that translate Chronicle’s value into native, high-performing content that audiences actually want to watch

Creator-Led GTM & Distribution

• Turn creator partnerships into a durable, measurable GTM channel (not just a marketing experiment)
• Work closely with founders and the Growth team to align creators with product launches, new features, and core narratives
• Explore non-obvious partnerships: affiliates, rev-share models, co-created templates, and education-driven content
• Build systems for tracking performance: CAC, retention, assisted conversions, and brand lift. Experiment aggressively with formats and creators, and double down on what works

Must Haves

• 2-5+ years of experience in creator or influencer marketing, ideally for SaaS, B2B, developer tools, or prosumer products
• Hands-on experience running creator campaigns targeting US audiences
• Proven ability to take creator marketing from idea → execution → scale
• Strong intuition for internet culture, creators, and what actually converts. You know the difference between a generic ad read and a compelling product integration
• Comfortable negotiating, managing budgets, and holding creators accountable to timelines and deliverables
• Clear written and verbal communication—you can brief creators and internal teams crisply and confidently

Nice to Have

• Experience working at an early-stage or fast-growing startup
• Experience building affiliate or rev-share creator programs from scratch
• Background working with tools for designers, developers, founders, or consultants
