Job Description

About InBeat

We're a tight-knit team of creative, data-driven people, continuously building services & partnering with the world's largest brands, including Shark Ninja, Miro, Descript, and Nielsen.

We value great work with talented, innovative & driven people, making meaningful connections with like-minded creatives along the way!

The Role

This is a full-time, fully remote leadership position that allows work from anywhere in the world. We're looking for a Head of UGC / Head of Creator Operations to lead our UGC creator department. From sourcing and casting to long-term creator partnerships, you'll play a key role in building a scalable network of high-performing creators that consistently deliver quality content while reducing costs and timelines.

Key Responsibilities 1. Pipeline Management
  • Monitor inbound creator applications
  • Identify great creators through communities and manual research
  • Pre-screen and invite high-potential creators into our roster.
  • Maintain a clear, up-to-date creator database (skills, niches, formats, performance history).
2. Creator Evaluation
  • Design and manage test assignments (scriptwriting, video shooting, editing).
  • Assess creators' ability to:
  • Follow briefs.
  • Write compelling hooks/scripts.
  • Shoot content with good framing/lighting/audio.
  • Edit videos in-platform and with basic tools.
3. Ops & Database
  • Tag creators by skill set, vertical, and deliverable type.
  • Create clear profiles with example work and evaluation notes.
  • Ensure data hygiene: remove duplicates, track availability, costs, reliability.
4. Project Alignment
  • Match vetted creators with ongoing projects.
  • Partner with creative strategists and PMs to source the right creators for briefs.
  • Maintain relationships with top performers (quick turnaround, reliable delivery).
5. Relationship Management
  • Act as the first line of contact for creators during onboarding and test phases.
  • Build trust and keep communication clear on expectations, deliverables, and timelines.
  • Help turn top creators into long term collaborators.
What Success Looks Like (90 Days)
  • Structured database of vetted creators with a clear tagging system (skills, quality, availability).
  • A repeatable UGC test process that filters out weak creators quickly.
  • Smooth handoff of qualified creators to the creative team.
  • Reliable roster of creators aligned with client needs and campaign demands.
Ideal Candidate
  • Strong ops/process skills: can manage a pipeline and keep things organized at scale.
  • Good creative judgment: can evaluate video quality, scriptwriting, and editing basics.
  • People-oriented: communicates clearly and manages relationships with creators.
  • Comfortable with tools: Airtable/Notion/CRM, Slack, and project management tools.
  • Bonus: prior experience in influencer/UGC management, production coordination, or casting.
Must-haves
  • Perfect written & spoken English.
  • Prior experience leading UGC production or content operations teams.
  • Strong organizational and communication skills.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, remote-first environment.
While not required, it's an added plus if you also have:
  • Experience as a writer or creative strategist with UGC or performance marketing campaigns
  • Creative operations experience (building scalable creative workflows or systems)
  • Previous experience leading a team of creatives or sourcing specialists
  • Demonstrated ability to connect creative decisions with measurable performance outcomes
Why Join InBeat
  • Unlimited Time Off & Sick Days
  • Flexible hours
  • Fully remote (work from anywhere)
