Lead, Influencer & Creator Marketing 🎯 Mission Brief: Building Lenskart's Creator-First Brand Engine You will architect and scale Lenskart's transformation into a creator-native brand ecosystem, where influencers and digital creators become the primary storytellers of our brand narrative. Your mission is to move beyond transactional influencer campaigns to building a proprietary creator network that drives authentic engagement, cultural relevance, and measurable business impact across India's rapidly evolving digital landscape. This is more than campaign management—you're building the system, relationships, and content infrastructure that positions Lenskart at the intersection of eyewear culture, digital trends, and consumer behavior. You'll define how millions of Indians discover and engage with Lenskart through creators they trust, while directly driving revenue, brand lift, and category leadership. 🔑 Core Mandate: Creator Ecosystem Transformation - Creator Network Platform & Ecosystem (The Builder's Focus) Creator Intelligence System: Own the strategic vision, architecture, and operationalization of Lenskart's proprietary creator network—a data-driven, AI-informed ecosystem that identifies, evaluates, and manages relationships with influencers, micro-creators, and emerging talent at scale across all relevant platforms and audience segments. Network Intelligence & Performance Architecture: Design and implement the systems, frameworks, and dashboards that track creator performance, audience quality, engagement authenticity, and conversion impact—transforming creator partnerships from gut-feel decisions to data-driven platform investments. Talent Relationship Infrastructure: Build the operational backbone for managing high-volume creator relationships—from discovery and negotiation to content collaboration, performance monitoring, and long-term ambassador development.

Monitor real-time performance across creators, platforms, and campaigns using advanced analytics and attribution. Commercial Acumen & Negotiation Strategy: Manage all commercial aspects of creator partnerships—from contract negotiation to usage rights, exclusivity agreements, and performance incentives. Directly negotiate with top-tier celebrities, micro-influencers, talent managers, and agencies to maximize brand value and commercial terms. Strategic Campaign Architecture: Conceptualize and lead end-to-end influencer marketing campaigns aligned with brand objectives, product launches, seasonal moments, and cultural trends. Balance multiple concurrent campaigns across categories and platforms while maintaining strategic coherence. Content-Driven Growth: Own the strategy to optimize all influencer-generated content for audience relevance, platform algorithms, engagement, and conversion. Ensure content drives not just brand awareness but measurable customer acquisition and lifetime value. 3.
