Influencer & Ambassador Manager [Contract - Parental Leave]

About the Contract Opportunity

Caraway Home is looking for an experienced Ambassador Manager to provide parental leave coverage for our Influencer team. This is a contract engagement running approximately early August 2026 through January 2027, with the opportunity to work across two coverage scopes — senior program management and associate-level execution support.

This role is ideal for a seasoned influencer marketing professional who thrives in fast-paced DTC environments, can hit the ground running with minimal ramp time, and is comfortable owning both strategy and operations simultaneously.
What You'll Own

- Oversee budget pacing and flag any spend efficiency concerns

- Monitor ambassador inboxes

- Manage gifting shipments, CRM/database updates, and deliverable trackers

- Distribute campaign briefs, creative assets, and product information to active ambassadors

- Coordinate ambassador events, virtual community touchpoints, and product drops

You're a Great Fit If You Have

- 4–6+ years of influencer and/or ambassador marketing experience, ideally in DTC or consumer goods

- Familiarity with ambassador platforms, CRM tools, and performance analytics (experience with tools like Nectar, Roster, Omni, or similar is a plus)

- Strong project management skills — you're organized, deadline-driven, and comfortable managing multiple workstreams

- A collaborative communication style and experience working cross-functionally

- Comfort operating at both a strategic and executional level — this role requires both

Engagement Details

- Duration: Temporary engagement aligned with parental leave coverage (estimated 6 months)

- Expected Commitment: Approximately 40 hours per week
