Job Overview:
We’re helping our client, Pixory — a fast-growing creator-led eCommerce brand — find a Creator Shortlister to sit at the very top of their affiliate pipeline.
In this role, you will be responsible for researching, evaluating, and shortlisting high-potential TikTok and Instagram creators before they enter outreach and onboarding. Your work directly protects creator quality, brand alignment, and long-term affiliate performance.
This is a research-heavy, quality-control role, not a marketing or strategy position. You’ll follow clear SOPs and quality benchmarks to consistently identify creators who meet Pixory’s standards at scale.
Responsibilities:
• Identify, research, and shortlist creators based on Pixory’s ICPs and quality benchmarks
• Evaluate creators beyond follower count, including content quality, consistency, engagement, and brand alignment
• Consistently shortlist 600–800 creators per week while maintaining quality standards
• Maintain a clean and organised creator pipeline with clear vetting notes and rationale
• Flag standout creators and potential red flags for priority review
• Work closely with the outreach team to ensure smooth handover and alignment
• Follow shortlisting SOPs precisely and adapt to updates in criteria or platform strategy
• Share feedback on creator trends, quality patterns, and platform insights
Requirements:
Must-Have:
• Hands-on experience shortlisting or evaluating creators for brands, influencer programs, or affiliate teams
• Strong familiarity with TikTok and Instagram creator ecosystems
• Experience following SOPs or clear quality criteria when assessing creators
• Proven ability to judge creator quality beyond follower count
• Highly detail-oriented and process-driven
• Comfortable with high-output, repetitive research work
• Clear written communication skills for explaining shortlisting decisions
• Reliable and consistent performance week over week
Benefits:
Nice-to-Have:
• Background in influencer marketing, creator partnerships, or affiliate operations
• Experience working with creator databases, CRMs, or Airtable-style systems
• Understanding of viral content patterns and engagement signals
• Experience supporting creator or affiliate revenue growth
• Prior experience working with remote or international teams
