About the role
What we're building
BlancVPN is a privacy product used by hundreds of thousands of people worldwide — and creators are one of our sharpest growth channels. We're looking for an Influencer Marketing Manager | Senior who knows how to buy creator advertising across Russian-speaking and international markets: finding authors, channels, and agencies, negotiating placements, and making sure every integration has a clear creative angle and a measurable result.
This is a hands-on role for someone who owns the whole thing — creator research, negotiation, creative testing, and performance analysis — without ever losing the thread between the first DM and the final report.
What we're looking for
Core Requirements
- Fluent Russian and English (B2+)
- 4+ years buying advertising from creators, including in international markets
- Case studies backed by real numbers — CAC, ROI, conversions, not just reach
- Strong negotiation skills to secure better terms
- Ability to create and test effective ad concepts
- Independence: you can own the whole deal from creator search to post-analysis
- Comfort planning a media-buying budget and owning its efficiency
Nice-to-have
- Experience promoting VPNs, mobile apps, or subscription products
- Understanding of how VPN services are promoted in Russian-speaking and international markets
- Experience with special projects, ambassadorships, or agency collaborations
- An existing network of creators and agencies you can tap
What you'll be doing
Media Buying
- Find creators and channels for paid placements across YouTube, Telegram, Instagram, other social platforms, and agencies
- Analyze and vet creators and channels before each deal
- Negotiate formats, timelines, pricing, discounts, and bonus placements
- Create ad concepts with a copywriter or independently, and test different versions
- Manage placements end to end: briefs, creative approvals, timelines, and agreement control
Execution and Growth
- Track campaign performance and post-placement results
- Proactively look for new formats: special projects, ambassadorships, and agency collaborations
- Monitor competitors: where they advertise, and which formats and offers they use
- Plan the media-buying budget and own its efficiency
