Director, Creator Program Management

UTA seeks a Director, Creator Program Management, to join the Marketing team. This group serves as agency of record for a major beauty retailer's large-scale creator ambassador program that identifies, vets, and manages a community of beauty content creators. The team runs the program end-to-end, from a high-volume annual application and selection cycle (tens of thousands of applicants narrowed to a select new cohort) to ongoing creator member management, brand campaign execution, and an evolving Alumni program. We work closely with our client's marketing team and cross-functionally across legal, tech, and creative operations to keep the program running smoothly at scale.

The Director is the senior operating lead for the program, responsible for the day-to-day running of the program and the operational systems that keep it on track. This person is client-facing and works in close partnership with program leadership to support a strong client relationship, contributing to performance interpretation, strategic recommendations, and reporting narratives, while directing how the program actually gets built and delivered week to week, from the annual application and selection cycle through creator onboarding and campaign execution. The Director sets the operating rhythm for the team: the schedules, the risk and scope discipline, the reporting cadence, and the standards that keep a large, fast-moving creator program running smoothly at scale. This is a senior role for someone who is equally comfortable in front of the client, and in the operational weeds, translating strategy into a well-run program.

The salary range for this role is $150,000 to $160,000 commensurate with experience and skills.
