About the Role

The Influencer \& Creator Partnerships Manager will own and evolve Magna’s end-to-end creator ecosystem across

commission-based affiliate

,

creator/UGC content

,

whitelisting

, and a

select large influencer/celebrity program

. This role is responsible for building the strategy and operating system that turns creators into a reliable growth channel — from recruitment to onboarding, contracting, briefs, seeding, optimization, and performance reporting.

This is a highly autonomous role for an operator who can build structure from scratch and run the program with minimal direction. You’ll be expected to create the frameworks, rhythms, and standards that enable the program to grow sustainably while maintaining quality, brand alignment, and performance.

Magna is primarily DTC on Shopify today, with TikTok expansion ahead and major retail partners coming online in 2026 — so this role will build a creator engine that drives DTC growth now and becomes retail-supportive later (awareness, launch moments, and retailer-ready content needs).
