We empower creators around the world to bring their ideas to life—fast, intuitively, and with imagination. Our team believes in high-ownership, a fast-paced environment, and direct impact on the next era of creative tools. ## About the Role As our Creator and Influencer Partnerships Manager, you will own and execute all aspects of Pika’s creator and influencer programs, transforming every company launch into broad, authentic reach. You’ll lead paid and organic partnership initiatives end-to-end, grow our creator community, and build the playbooks that make every new product drop land. This is a critical marketing and growth role with frequent launches (about every 1 to 2 weeks), impact across product, operations, and community, and close collaboration with the entire Pika team. ## Key Responsibilities - Plan and manage creator and influencer strategies for each launch, including sourcing partners, outreach, rate negotiation, scheduling, and approvals. - Build and maintain partnership tiers—ranging from tech news amplifiers to paid creators and unpaid community—based on performance metrics (CPM, CTR, sign-ups) and an eye on competitor benchmarks. - Author concise creator briefs, early-access guides, and outreach messages; coordinate assets and creative approvals with design and content teams. - Oversee creator contracts, onboarding, credit management, and invoicing in partnership with Finance and Ops. - Own all measurement: set up UTM links, maintain dashboards, and report on partner campaign outcomes for each launch. - Grow and engage Pika’s creator community (Discord, WhatsApp, early access groups, Creator Partner Program), developing programs that add value and recognition. - Channel creator and community feedback to Product and Engineering to inform improvements and future launches. - Explore and execute new approaches to creator engagement, including events, ambassador programs, and in-person meetups. ## Requirements - 5+ years in influencer, creator, partnerships, or community marketing, ideally at a tech or consumer product company. - Demonstrated history of planning, running, and reporting on paid creator campaigns with measurable results. - Proven experience running paid creator/influencer campaigns with budgets of $100k+. - Authentic ties in AI, tech, and creator communities across X, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. - Excellent writing and negotiation abilities; able to craft compelling briefs, guides, and outreach copy. - Proficiency with UTM tracking, spreadsheets, and basic campaign reporting. - Experience managing multiple campaigns or launches simultaneously. - Bonus: Experience with Discord or ambassador programs, event organizing, hands-on knowledge of generative AI tools, influencer agency or platform work. Why Pika? - Build products creators love at the cutting edge of generative video. - High ownership and autonomy in a small, dynamic team. - Fast-paced launches and direct access to leadership. - This role is preferred to be based in Palo Alto, with onsite presence in the office. Join us and play a key role in shaping the future of creative media and empowering creators everywhere! ## About Pika ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Pika is an AI-native creative platform that enables users to generate, edit, and transform videos—and now "birth" persistent AI agents—from text, images, and voice. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series B) - **Headquarters**: Palo Alto, California, United States (also has an office in Mountain View, CA) - **Founded**: 2023 - **Founders**: Demi Guo (CEO), Chenlin Meng (CTO) ## Core Business - **Primary industry**: Generative AI / AI Video & Agent Platform - **Target customers**: B2C (creators, social media users, marketers) and B2B (developers via Pika API and MCP) - **Mission or purpose**: To make video creation accessible to everyone, and now to give everyone a "creative partner" AI agent ## Products & Services - **Pika Video App**: The core product—an AI video generator that turns text prompts, images, and videos into new clips. Supports styles (3D animation, anime, cartoon, cinematic) and effects like "squish it, melt it, cake-ify it." - **Pika Agent**: A persistent, portable AI agent that users "birth" and own. Multi-modal (text, voice, image, video) and lives across platforms. Users can train it to have personality, memory, and voice—essentially a creative co-pilot. - **AI Trendmaker**: A feature that lets users hop on viral video trends with just a selfie and a sound. - **Pika API**: Hosted API for developers to integrate Pika's video generation capabilities into their own apps and workflows. - **Pika MCP**: Model Context Protocol for connecting agents to external tools and data. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed (estimated at ~$470M post-money based on Series B terms) - **Total Funding**: $135M across 4 rounds - Pre-Seed (Jan 2023): $15M led by Nat Friedman & Daniel Gross - Seed (May 2023): Amount undisclosed - Series A (Nov 2023): $35M led by Lightspeed Venture Partners - Series B (Jun 2024): $80M led by Spark Capital - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Spark Capital, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Nat Friedman, Daniel Gross - **Growth Signals**: - Headcount grew 27.4% YoY to 59 employees - Monthly website visits: ~1.87M (global rank #25,677) - Talent sourced from top AI labs (TikTok, Jane Street, Runway, Kling AI, Snap Inc.) - 1 active job posting (Head of Engineering) as of mid-2026 - Launched Pika Agent and Pika API in 2025-2026, expanding beyond video generation into agentic AI ## Competitive Advantages - **"Birth and own" agent model**: Pika is pioneering the concept of a user-owned, persistent AI agent that evolves with the user—different from one-off chatbot interactions. - **Multi-modal creative platform**: Combines video generation, agent capabilities, and trend tools in one ecosystem. - **Strong early traction and talent density**: Raised $135M quickly from top-tier investors; alumni from TikTok, Runway, Jane Street, and other elite tech firms. - **Small, high-leverage team**: ~59 people operating globally with a "small, dynamic team" culture that values efficiency and ambition. ## Strategic Focus - **Agent-first future**: Pika is shifting from "just a video tool" to an agent platform where users create and own their AI creative partner. - **Platform expansion**: Opening up via API and MCP to integrate with external apps and workflows. - **Global reach**: Operating in 19 countries with a distributed (but Palo Alto-centric) team. - **Continued R&D in generative video**: Improving realism, style variety, and real-time generation. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Pika describes itself as "small, dynamic" and values "efficiency, collaboration, and creativity." They seek "intellect, work ethic, and ambition." - **Remote/Hybrid**: Not explicitly stated, but the team is distributed across 19 countries (with the US hub in Palo Alto/Mountain View). Likely hybrid or flexible. - **Notable perks**: The careers page emphasizes "career growth in a culture that fosters both individual and collective development." They also champion an inclusive culture. - **Engineering culture**: Tech stack includes Python, TypeScript, Kubernetes, TensorFlow, React, and more.
