Why Lifesum is your next career move

Hi, this is us!

Lifesum is the leading nutrition platform, helping over 55M users around the world improve their lives through better eating. Our core business is our mobile app that generates large volumes of downloads every month but we also have an enterprise offering, which helps employers empower their teams to eat well.

We have offices in Stockholm and Los Angeles, but take a “One Team” approach in terms of collaboration. We’re a team of diverse, solution-oriented, and entrepreneurial individuals working together to build something truly amazing.

At Lifesum we also not only embrace diversity, but we rely on it to succeed. That’s why we work hard to ensure our team, vendors, and partners are representative of the millions of users we serve.

We want you to share our excitement about the future

Influencer Marketing has been a key performance marketing channel at Lifesum in the last 5 years as we have methodically invested in ROI-driven strategies to create value. Your help will make us even better, as we continue to invest more.

We believe that you are a senior influencer marketing executive, with the ability to lead both strategy and execution of the whole Influencer Department. You are at the seniority where you have developed mastery in using data to select and evaluate influencers and at the same time think of the softer emotional sides of brand building. You will be responsible for generating large volumes of sales directly linked and traceable to our Influencer Marketing efforts.

As our new Director of Influencer Marketing & Events, you will lead the team of our extremely talented Influencer Marketing professionals, based in Stockholm and in Los Angeles, and also work in our Marketing Leadership Team (MLT), reporting to Lifesum’s CMO.

What you will do

• Drive strategy and execution to scale ROI-driven Influencer Marketing efforts.
  You will aim to build scalable, volume-driven campaigns primarily across the US, Northern, and Western Europe, but also consider new/emerging markets (like South America or Asia).
  
• Leverage data and analytics to increase sales: by analyzing data and sales from multiple sources choose which Influencers Lifesum will hire to produce optimal ROI, i.e. subscription sales.
  
• Grow our Community of Influencers to further develop our Ambassadors Program
  
• Be responsible for budgets aiming at profitability: You will own the Influencer marketing global budget
  
• Manage your team to help them grow. Your management skills also mean you are great at helping your team prioritize for impact.
  
• Make our events magical enough to generate revenue: You will also further build our efforts into profitable, larger-scale events, by negotiating ambitious Brand Partnerships.
  
• Ensure our merchandise looks great and is great for the planet. You will oversee our merch design, sourcing, and distribution in accordance with Lifesum’s sustainability practices.
