What are the responsibilities and job description for the Freelance Community & Influencer Manager position at Kinn Studio?
About Kinn Studio
Kinn Studio is a modern heirloom fine-jewelry brand based in Los Angeles. We create timeless pieces designed to be worn daily and passed down for generations. Founded in 2017 and rooted in craftsmanship and storytelling, our work balances vintage inspiration with a modern point of view, and our solid 14k gold is never filled or plated.
We are a small, high-taste team that moves quickly, collaborates closely, and obsesses over details—from product to narrative to how the brand shows up in the world. As we scale from a digitally native brand into omnichannel retail across our LA and NYC flagships, the way Kinn shows up in culture matters more than ever.
The Opportunity
We're looking for a freelancer to support Kinn's community and creator ecosystem roughly 10-15 hours a week. You’ll support our influencer and creator relationships from discovery through long-term partnership.
This is a relationship-building role at heart. You understand that community and creator work is brand voice, cultural relevance, and trust—built one genuine interaction at a time. You balance warmth and discretion, know when to engage, when to escalate, and when to act independently, and you protect Kinn's voice instinctively while making every interaction feel personal and genuinely human.
You'll visit our downtown LA office and spend time on set, in-store, and in the field.
