Strategist (Operational), US East Coast Based

About Kyra

Kyra is a profitable, founder-led business with ten years in the influencer marketing industry. We have built long-term relationships with some of the world's leading consumer brands including H&M, SharkNinja and Coty, delivering influencer marketing services at scale.

Kyra is now entering its next phase of growth, expanding its technology platform built on a decade of proprietary data, enterprise relationships and deep category expertise. The platform enables brands and agencies to plan, execute and measure influencer marketing at scale. It is AI-native, subscription-based, and designed for organisations investing significantly in creator marketing.

This is a zero-to-one moment for a business that already has the customers, credibility and commercial foundation to succeed.

As a Strategist at Kyra, you’ll lead the development of platform-native campaign strategies that combine creative storytelling with measurable brand impact.. You’ll own the strategic direction from pitch through to post-campaign, turning insights into bold creative concepts that resonate across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, and beyond.

You’ll collaborate closely with Client Solutions, Campaign Management, Paid Media, and Business Development to deliver campaigns for two large enterprise accounts that are not only beautiful—but effective. This role is ideal for a beauty-savvy strategist who’s confident turning data into narrative, client goals into creative, and trends into opportunities.
