Relay is a digital banking platform that gives self-made business owners the tools and know-how to be great with money—bringing clarity, confidence, and control to every dollar earned, so they can turn hard work into lasting success. We do this by replacing financial guesswork with real visibility, transforming cash flow from a constant source of stress into a clear signal owners can use to run stronger, more resilient businesses. We're looking for an Influencer Marketing Specialist to join Relay's influencer team sitting within the larger brand org. You'll support campaign execution, creator research, brief development, content review, and post-campaign analysis. You'll also serve as the primary point of contact for Relay's affiliate program, owning day-to-day affiliate communication, onboarding, and reporting with backup from the broader team on deal terms, compliance calls, and performance escalations. This is a high-leverage role for someone with 2-3 years of marketing experience (ideally with foundations in social, influencer, content, or campaign coordination) who wants to specialize in influencer marketing and grow into a creator program owner over time. As you build judgment, platform fluency, and creator relationship skills, your scope will expand—starting with affiliate ownership and growing into onboarding small influencer partners with supervision, then into independent partnership ownership. You'll partner cross-functionally with Brand, Social, CX, and Demand Gen to keep creator and affiliate work integrated with broader marketing moments. You bring curiosity, urgency, and a developing point of view on the creator economy—and you treat every campaign as a chance to sharpen your craft and contribute fresh ideas to a program that's investing in becoming best-in-class.
