The Mission

TrustedHousesitters is a fast-growing, direct-to-consumer marketplace redefining pet care and travel. Our platform connects a thriving global community of pet lovers through a unique, trust-based membership model. We are on a mission to become the world’s most loved travel solution for pet people, fueled by a passionate community of nearly 280,000 members.

As we scale, our focus is shifting toward the US market. We aren’t just looking for someone to "manage influencers" - we need a strategic architect to build an engine of trust and advocacy across the Atlantic.

The Role: Strategic, Creative, and US-Focused

This isn’t a transactional "pay-per-post" role. We need a "head up" creator lead who understands that our product requires nuanced, high-quality storytelling rather than a simple product demo.

As an Individual Contributor (IC) reporting to the Head of Brand & Content, you will own the end-to-end creator lifecycle. You will be the glue between Brand, Paid Social, and our advocacy community, turning one-off partnerships into long-term brand advocacy.

What you’ll be doing:

  • US Market Leadership Lead our US-focused strategy. You’ll source and manage high-performing US creators who align with our values and navigate the complexities of US talent agents, managers, and usage rights.

  • Always-On Strategy Move beyond "pop moments" to build a consistent, month-over-month influencer foundation that drives brand consideration and trust.

  • UGC & Advocacy Scaling Formalise the process for sourcing and licensing User-Generated Content. You'll lead the optimisation of our advocacy platforms (like Duel) to maximise community referrals.

  • Cross-Functional Integration Partner with Paid Social on whitelisting/licensing and collaborate with Comms and Affiliates to ensure creator content is a consistent pillar of our global strategy.

  • IRL Experiences: Strategy and execution of influencer-focused events and "money-can't-buy" brand experiences to foster deep loyalty.

  • Commercial Negotiation: "quality over quantity" mindset - negotiating contracts and ensuring every pound spent delivers value.

Who you are:

  • The US Expert: You have a proven track record of managing US-based influencer campaigns.

  • The Storyteller: You appreciate the nuance of marketing a high-trust service. You know how to guide creators away from transactional 'product reviews' and toward the kind of authentic storytelling that builds long-term confidence in our membership.

  • The Independent Operator: You are comfortable being the sole point of contact for this function. You can go from working on high-level strategy in one instance, before handling admin in the next.

  • The "Head Up" Partner You don't work in a silo. You are proactive in working with Data teams to understand ROI (via MMM) and with Product to align with our brand voice.

The Process:

We value your time and aim for a transparent, efficient process:

1. Talent Screen: A conversation with our Talent team

2. Hiring Manager Session: A 30-minute deep dive with the hiring manager

3. Practical Task: A case-study exercise focused on a real-world campaign scenario, presented to a cross-functional panel (including Paid Social and Comms).

4. Final Coffee Chat: A final check-in with your future manager

About TrustedHousesitters

TrustedHousesitters is a global marketplace that is disrupting both the pet care and travel industries. We connect a community of home and pet owners with sitters to solve a common two-sided problem - pet care and cost effective travel. Our business model means that customers join for one annual fee. After that, sits take place as a trust-based, money-free exchange that sees owners enjoy worry-free travel while our sitters enjoy the company of pets and unlock a world of unique accommodation.

We enjoy exceptional customer retention rates driven by the fact that our owners and sitters realise the amazing value and incredible experiences we can facilitate.

We also have more five star reviews on Trustpilot than any other pet care or travel company.

We’ve helped facilitate over 2m nights of pet sitting, with members in over 140 countries, saving them over £150m in accommodation and pet care costs to date.

We’re currently part of the Upscale 5.0 programme operated by Technation, the leading growth programme for the 30 most promising scale-ups in the country. We're on this programme because we pride ourselves on having a very strong focus on creating fabulous product experiences for our customers, taking them to market in an innovative way, and providing outstanding service.

We are transforming the pet care and travel landscape. We believe we offer the best solution and our team are united by our commitment to delivering an enriching experience for our customers and having a positive impact on the lives of their pets.
