**We're HIRING - apply here: www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/4247322779

I’m AJ, the Founder @ Creator Match 🧩 (Building the #1 LinkedIn Creator Marketing Platform & Agency).

Creator Match unlocks LinkedIn's potential for Brands. Match with vetted LinkedIn Creators. Enjoy effortless campaigns and robust analytics. Get matched today.

We are trusted by the world’s most innovative Brands (i.e. Anthropic/Claude, HubSpot, Notion, Teachable, Wix, beehiiv, BetterHelp, and more), as well as the most influential LinkedIn Creators.

[Creator Match Services]
→ Software (self-service): Our SaaS platform allows Brands/Agencies to source LinkedIn Creators and manage their own campaigns (creator and content discovery).
→ Agency (done-for-you service): We run some of the largest and most creative LinkedIn Creator campaigns in the world, handling end-to-end from strategy to execution.
→ Cutting-Edge Tools: Our Creator Match LinkedIn Chrome Extension is a *free* tool that helps users analyze top-performing content, identify brand sponsorships, and track post analytics.

This journey started as a LinkedIn Creator struggling to monetize. I was laughed at in creator communities as no one took LinkedIn seriously. But I realized I wasn’t alone as I found a community of underserved, underpaid, and underappreciated LinkedIn Creators just like me (and maybe just like YOU).

So I did what any rational person would do. 

I quit my comfortable Fortune 500 management consulting job to go all-in on solving this pain point! And then Creator Match was born!

I’m on a mission to help Brands crush results with innovative campaigns and get LinkedIn Creators PAID!

**For Brands/Agencies/Creators 👉 Get matched at creatormatch.com**

Outside of being a busy Founder, I also:
📰 Write for Fast Company (work/life section)
🎤 Speak at events/conferences around the world
🚀 Launched 3 LinkedIn Learning Courses (150,000+ learners)
🌎 Travel and explore: surfing, snowboarding, mountain biking
🥇 Compete in endurance sports (Marathons, Ultramarathons, Triathlons)

Follow me for daily content on being a young founder (building in public), LinkedIn growth and monetization tips, brand deals, B2B creator/influencer marketing strategies, and more.

The job market sucks right now. But not in B2B creator marketing. We're #hiring 2 Account Managers because we literally can't keep up...

I feel incredibly grateful for our team at Creator Match 🧩 to be in this position. 

While most companies are cutting headcount with layoffs and sending those brutal rejection emails, our team is growing.

In under 1 year of business and a TINY team, we paid out $1,000,000+ to LinkedIn Creators... and we need help managing the beautiful chaos.

Ever heard of "growing pains," or "hire when it hurts"? Well yea, it's hurting lol. 

𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦: We are actually turning DOWN brands due to limited capacity (which is just shocking to say out loud).

𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: We're hiring 2 Account Managers to help us grow from a 7 figure to 8 figure tech-enabled B2B Creator Agency.

As an Account Manager, you’ll be the glue between brands and creators — reviewing creator content, managing client communication, tracking deliverables, and ensuring campaigns run smoothly. 

What you WON'T be doing:
→ Following some corporate playbook that doesn't work
→ Sitting in pointless meetings about meetings
→ Coasting through your day waiting for 5 PM

What you WILL be doing:
→ Managing campaigns for brands like Anthropic/Claude, Notion, and Framer
→ Reviewing creator post drafts to ensure brand alignment
→ Coordinating timelines, deliverables, and approvals to keep 6 figure + campaigns running smoothly

This is a part-time (approx. 20 hrs/week), contract role with potential to grow into a full-time position for the right fit. You can be based anywhere in the world.

𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐤: This role isn't for everyone. 

We move fast, juggle a lot, and bend over backwards for our clients. It’s high-stakes, high-speed, and not for the faint of heart. We only bring on A-Team players who take full ownership and can perform under pressure.

But if you thrive in chaos, love solving problems, and want to run the biggest B2B Creator campaigns in the world — you’ll feel right at home.

I'll personally review every application because if you're going to help us scale, I want to know who you are.

PS - We're interviewing immediately. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis.
