Kyra is a global creator economy company that bridges the gap between brands and Creators.


Last year we raised $10 million in Series A funding to build & launch a brand new platform that will revolutionize the creator economy as we know it by empowering creators. The Kyra Platform is a place for creators to make money, build their industry network, and get paid for their hard work (& performance). For Brands, they will have access to a first-of-its-kind marketplace to launch creator campaigns in line with trends, streamlining processes and maximizing ROI...with incredible creators from around the world. The Kyra Platform has been built to bridge the gap between brands and TikTok creators.

We work with a diverse slate of creators, and global blue-chip brands such as Nike, Converse, Levi’s, Calvin Klein and more.

We're looking for a Program Manager to join our team in London to oversee resource management and delivery of projects sold to clients. As a process pioneer with a passion for tech products and the creators' economy, the Program Manager has an eye for detail and optimization that spans across the pre-sale of creative campaigns and execution. This person is driven to find the most effective ways to deliver projects and scale operations, aligning with the stakeholders and ensuring the availability of all resources needed. The program manager has experience working in creative environments and tech startups.

A highly-organized creative thinker, the ideal candidate is highly motivated and energetic, capable of juggling multiple creative projects simultaneously. An in-depth knowledge of social media and digital platforms (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Podcasting) is a must. The proven ability to work cross-functionally across multiple departments, including Production, Client Services, Talent, Sales, and Marketing in a fast-paced environment is critical.
