What is your expected monthly rate in USD?

The budget for this contract is $2,000–$4,000 USD per month plus a performance bonus. Give a single monthly figure (gross, as an independent contractor), not an annual or hourly rate.

What is the earliest date you could start?

If you are serving notice or finishing a client commitment, give the first realistic working day.

Where will you be working from, and can you invoice as an independent contractor?

The role is fully remote on an independent contractor basis, with European time zones preferred and daily overlap with the founders (CET).

How many years have you worked specifically in influencer or creator marketing?

Count only hands-on influencer/creator marketing, not general social media or brand marketing.

Which best describes where you did most of your influencer work in the last three years?

We are specifically looking for in-house DTC e-commerce experience with direct commercial accountability.

Have you personally built a DTC influencer programme from zero — sourcing, outreach, negotiation, contracts and tracking — and generated measurable revenue from it?

Answer yes only if you built the system yourself rather than inheriting or coordinating an existing one.

What is the largest monthly creator/influencer budget (fees plus paid usage) you have personally owned?

Budget you controlled and allocated yourself, not total brand media spend.

Which of these have you personally owned, hands-on?

Select only what you executed yourself, not what a colleague or agency handled for you.

Creator whitelisting / Meta partnership ads Licensing and paid usage rights Negotiating deals with talent managers/agencies Performance-based and affiliate deal structures CRM and deal pipeline systems Hiring and managing Talent Agents US creator and celebrity relationships Reporting on CPA, ROAS and revenue

Describe the influencer programme you are proudest of: the brand and category, your role and dates, the markets you worked in, deal volume, the results (revenue, ROAS, CPA or content hit rate) — and why it worked.

Be concrete with numbers and timeframes. Include a link to a case study, results deck or examples of the creator ads if you have one; we will verify in interview.

You join with no US pipeline and a $30K monthly creator budget. Two options are on the table: a celebrity with 2M followers asking $25K for one post with 30-day usage rights, or 15 mid-tier creators in men's grooming at roughly $1.5K each with 12-month whitelisting and partnership ad permissions. Which do you choose, what would you negotiate differently, and how would you know within 60 days whether you were right?

A short paragraph is enough. We are assessing commercial judgment, deal structuring and how you measure, not length.
