Influencer Manager France (All Genders)

At ahead, we are building the next generation of low-sugar snacks in Europe and France is becoming one of our most exciting strategic markets.

To lead this growth, we are looking for an Influencer Manager France to build, activate, and scale our French creator network across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. We are especially looking for a French native or fully fluent French speaker, ideally based in Germany, with a deep understanding of French culture, social media trends, and what truly resonates with French audiences.

Are you passionate about French creators, think in terms of relationships and real results, and do you know instinctively what makes French audiences engage? If so, you'll have the rare opportunity to build something from scratch: a scalable influencer machine that turns France into one of ahead's strongest European markets. If you're excited about building long-term creator relationships, driving real revenue, and growing with a brand that's redefining snacking in Europe, you've come to the right place.

• Creator Sourcing and Outreach: You build and own our French creator pipeline, identifying nano, micro, and mid-tier creators across Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube while spotting new trends and emerging talents before anyone else does

• Relationship Management: You run outreach and follow-ups with creators, agencies, and managers, building long-term relationships and negotiating barter, affiliate, and paid collaborations that work for both sides

• Campaign Management: You manage campaigns from briefing to publication, coordinating timelines, reviewing content quality, and keeping creators and internal teams in sync

• Performance Tracking: You monitor KPIs daily: reach, engagement, promo code usage, revenue, ROAS, and ROI. You maintain a clean database and reporting dashboard and continuously suggest improvements based on the data

• Market Intelligence: You follow French social media trends and competitor activity closely, bringing local insights back to the team to sharpen our strategy

• You have 6 months to 3 years of hands-on experience in influencer marketing, creator partnerships, social media, or growth marketing. A previous internship, apprenticeship, working student role, or first full-time position where you have done outreach, managed creators, and seen campaigns through

• Experience with the French market is mandatory : you understand French audiences, French creators, and what makes content land in France

• You have a strong command of Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube as a professional, not just as a personal user. You are comfortable with outreach, negotiation, and the full campaign coordination cycle, and you understand barter, affiliate, and paid collaboration models

• You are confident with the KPIs that matter: reach, engagement, CTR, CPA, ROAS, promo code revenue, ROI; Strong Google Sheets and Excel skills are a must

• Native or fully fluent French is mandatory. You will be writing briefs, negotiating deals, and communicating daily with creators. Professional English is required. German is a plus but not mandatory

• You are proactive, resilient, and energetic, with a strong ownership mindset and the organizational skills to manage multiple campaigns and conversations at once. You bring good creative judgment, a genuine understanding of French cultural codes, and you are comfortable with outreach, rejection, and the pace of a fast-growing startup

• Hypergrowth Environment: If you're looking for greenfield, creative freedom, and real impact, you're in the right place. We're a team that is scaling fast - with purpose
• Great Workspace: A central office in the heart of Hamburg near the Alster, top equipment (MacBook), snacks, drinks, plenty of ahead products - and yes, a ping-pong table. We’re also pet-friendly, so you can always bring your furry friend along
• Amazing Team: Young, international, ambitious - inspiring colleagues who collaborate, support each other, and genuinely enjoy working together
• Career Growth: Develop through cross-functional projects, structured feedback cycles, and a steep learning curve in a dynamic, high growth environment. We offer a fair, attractive salary with role-dependent bonus opportunities
• Great Benefits: Fuel yourself with ahead snacks, drinks, and merch - we’ve got you covered. On top: a €50 monthly allowance to spend as you like - Urban Sports Club, mobility options, or vouchers from your favorite brands (IKEA, MediaMarkt, Lego and more)
• Vacation Days: Enjoy 28 vacation days plus two extra days off on December 24 (Christmas Eve) and December 31 (New Year’s Eve)
• Events & Offsites: Regular after-work hangouts and legendary annual team offsites you won’t forget
