Zarla

Influencer Partnerships Manager (Remote, Contract)

RemoteSouth AfricaFull-time
$2,000 - $3,500 monthly
About the Job
Zarla is the AI website builder for small businesses. We're hiring the person who turns creators into partners.

Location: Remote, South Africa. Full-time. 90-day contract to start, renewable. Paid in USD.

Zarla builds a small business a complete website from a one-sentence description, then helps it get found on Google and recommended by ChatGPT. We're a small, founder-led team with paying customers in the US, Australia and beyond, and creators are a big part of how we plan to reach the next million small-business owners.

The job
You find and sign creators whose audiences are US small-business owners: plumbers, salons, coaches, local services, small shops. You run the calls, the negotiation, the rights, the brief and the follow-through, and you own the creator pipeline end to end, reporting weekly on what it produced.

You'll be great at this if you:
  • Have 2+ years running creator deals for a brand or agency and can show the terms you negotiated.
  • Have your own sourcing toolkit and tricks, and can demonstrate them live.
  • Negotiate licence and usage rights as fluently as price (partnership ads, usage windows, exclusivity).
  • Can hold 4 hours a day of US East or West Coast overlap for calls (South African afternoons and evenings).
  • Speak fluent, confident English on video calls and live in a spreadsheet.

Nice to have: software or B2B creators, TikTok Shop or affiliate programs, managing a creator budget.

How it works
Remote. Full-time, 90-day contract to start, renewable. Flat monthly fee in USD (tell us your expected rate). Hiring is by a paid work sample, not interviews: find 10 creators and show us how, draft the outreach, propose the deal, then a 20-minute mock negotiation.

To apply
Send a short note, your location and working hours, your expected monthly rate in USD, and two examples of creator deals you ran (what you paid, what you got).
