Hiring: Global Community Activator

Full-time 6 month contract with a clear path to a permanent role

About The Skin Deep

The Skin Deep exists to unlock the power of deeper human connection. Through film, tools for conversation, and live experiences we create the space for people to deepen the most important relationships in their lives. Millions of people around the world already know us through {THE AND}, our flagship card game and film series. 

We have an online audience that is global, passionate, and hungry for more. In this next stage of our journey we are seeking someone to activate and engage them as a community.

The opportunity

This is a rare opportunity for someone who already knows and loves what The Skin Deep does and is ready to help us take it to the next level.

You'll be our Global Community Activator: the person who takes the lead in activating, organising and energising our existing superfans, event hosts, podcast creators and affiliate sellers. 

This is a full-time contract role with a clear intention to extend into an ongoing position as the community and the results grow. We're not looking for a freelancer who dips in and out, we're looking for the person who wants to dive in fully to deeply connect with our community and grow this important part of The Skin Deep’s impact in the world. Consider this as the ground floor of something that we can grow much bigger.

You'll report directly to our Head of IP & Strategic Partnerships and work day-to-day alongside our Head of Social Publishing. This is a high-trust, high-autonomy position. We'll give you the brief, the budget, and the belief, you bring the hustle and the heart.

What does the work look like?

Your First 90 Days

From day one, you'll be running five interconnected workstreams. Here's exactly what that looks like and what success means for each over the first 90 days. 

1. Community Week Global Events Series (August)

Our annual Community Week is a global moment to celebrate all the fans of The Skin Deep. One of your first major deliverables is making it real on the ground. You'll identify, recruit, and support 5+ event hosts in cities around the world, these are people who love The Skin Deep enough to bring their communities together around it.

You'll guide each event host through the experience: briefing them, backing them with assets and a hosting playbook you'll help create, and ensuring every event delivers something genuinely memorable for our community. Hosts will receive a budget to make it happen and you’ll support them to leverage in-kind support and bring their own communities to the table.

90-day KPIs:

• 5+ event hosts recruited, briefed, and confirmed before end of July
• 5 events successfully run across 5+ cities in August
• Every event delivers a video recap and photo set for shared use
• $2–5K in cumulative card game sales attributed to event discount codes

2. Casting Pipeline for Upcoming Productions

The people who appear in {THE AND} and our new show formats are central to what makes them powerful. You'll work to dramatically expand the reach, diversity, and quality of our casting for new productions, mobilising our fanbase, forging partnerships with relevant communities and discovering new amazing stories of lived experience that can bring meaningful depth to our ever growing library of human conversations. Your job will be to ensure we always have compelling, courageous people ready to show up and share a bit of themselves with our community. We’ve had and continue to have participants come back year after year to participate as their lives grow and develop. We want you  to cultivate those relationships with our participants so their journey with us can keep materializing in deeper ways. 

90-day KPIs:

• 3+ strategic partnerships established with talent communities, agencies, or aligned networks
• Meaningful growth in casting submissions: more volume, more geographic diversity, more people with engaged audiences expressing interest to be on {THE AND}
• Building a documented, repeatable outreach process for casting that the team can continue to build on.

3. Creators, Podcasters & Strategic Affiliates

We use Shopify Collabs as an affiliate system and you will take charge of this entire process end to end, from reaching out, first meetings to setting up resources and supporting our affiliates to drive collaborations that are financially worthwhile for everyone involved and most importantly, add value to our audience’s lives. You'll grow the size and impact of our network of content affiliate partners, identifying podcast hosts, creators, and strategic connectors whose audiences would genuinely resonate with {THE AND}. 

For podcast partners specifically, you'll develop a recurring Deeper Connections segment format as a natural, on-brand way for hosts to use {THE AND} cards on their shows, and set up the co-posting model that generates clips for both channels.

90-day KPIs:

• 15–20 new active affiliates with live discount codes
• 5+ podcast partnerships live or formally agreed, with first co-posted content published
• $4–7K in cumulative attributed revenue from creator and podcast affiliate codes

4. TikTok Shop Affiliate Programme

You'll grow our TikTok Shop affiliate programme recruiting content partners, running the first live shopping experiments, and establishing what works before we scale it. This is early-stage and exploratory, so a proactive mindset matters here: move fast, try things, learn quickly, and document what you find so we can keep growing our impact and reaching more people hungry for deeper human connection. 

90-day KPIs:

• 30+ TikTok content partners recruited with active product links
• 2–3 live shopping experiments run and documented
• TikTok Shop attributed revenue benchmark established

5. Own Our Email Newsletter

You'll take charge of our community newsletter and use it as a strategic tool to grow direct engagement with our audience and become the voice of our brand. Working closely with our Head of Social and Director of Marketing & E-commerce you will focus on converting as many of our social media fans into email subscribers to grow our list and lead testing new content ideas and formats to learn what resonates and continue to improve the newsletter over time. 

90-day KPIs:

• 20% month on month growth in subscribers after 3 months. 
• 20% incremental improvements in click through rates. 
• New engagement benchmarks established

What the Bigger Picture Looks Like

The 90-day targets above are the foundation. Beyond that, here's what building success looks like over the coming year

• A newsletter that engages our community and becomes the voice of our brand. We want our newsletter subscriber list to become an important force for our business, building our audience and deepening our engagement with our superfans. This will be yours to drive. 
• A global events programme with momentum. We want our community events to keep growing, with more hosts around the world, gaining momentum and adding genuine value to the lives of The Skin Deep community all around the world. 
• A casting pipeline that visibly raises the bar.  We would love to see more influential people, more geographic diversity, more authentic and powerful episodes on {THE AND}. You’ll be helping make that happen. 
• Strategic partnership leads emerging organically from community activation. We love it when brands, talent, and collaborators are coming to us because they've felt the energy of what we're building or been connected to us by the right person.
• Affiliate revenue scaling month-on-month. We would love to support more of our superfans and affiliates to grow their earning potential through wording with us. We aim to grow this program to $10K+/month in attributed affiliate sales across all channels by December, with 50+ active affiliates in the network.

Performance is rewarded directly. We have a structured compensation growth pathway tied to these milestones, and a bonus structure for hitting annual revenue targets. 

Who You Are

You have 6+ years of experience in community building, partnerships, influencer / creator relations, or network development. People consistently describe you as someone who makes them feel genuinely seen, because you do.

You know how to broker real collaborations not just surface-level transactions, but relationships where both sides feel the value. You understand the difference between an audience and a community, and you've built the latter.

You are genuinely resourceful. You see AI tools as leverage and force-multiplier for your unique skills, not as a novelty. You use them across content, outreach, workflow, and data because you understand that the right tools can save you time to focus on what is most important, connecting and cultivating relationships and building community.

You are culturally fluent across borders. You bring an international perspective but you also deeply understand US, Canadian, and European audience sensibilities, because that's where much of our community lives right now. Being bilingual (Confident English plus at least one other language) would be a bonus. 

And critically: our mission resonates with you. Beyond doing it for a job, you believe that deeper human connection is an important part of modern life. That belief will show up in everything you build here.

How to Apply

Send us three things:

1. A short video (2–3 minutes max) introduce yourself and tell us: what do you see as the single biggest opportunity for The Skin Deep to activate its community right now, and how would you approach it?

3. Please review our socials and suggest 2 creators you think would be a realistic and good fit to partner with us. Describe what you would suggest for the partnership and how you would approach the creator.
