Collaborations Specialist

Robot24.com | Dubai, UAE | Full-time, in-office |

About Robot24.com

Robot24.com is a robotics news and broadcasting platform, built to be the go-to destination for robotics coverage globally. The tech and editorial teams are in place, and the growth engine is scaling. We're now hiring a Collaborations Specialist to build and run relationships with the creators and voices who already command attention in the AI, tech, and robotics space.

About the Role

This role owns influencer and creator partnerships for Robot24.com. You'll identify, reach out to, and build working relationships with influencers and creators in AI, tech, and robotics, including people with millions of followers, and turn those relationships into collaborations that put Robot24.com in front of their audiences. This is a relationship-building and deal-closing role as much as a sourcing one.

What You'll Own

Identification and Outreach

• Build and maintain a pipeline of relevant influencers and creators across AI, tech, and robotics, at every follower tier, with particular focus on those with audiences in the millions
• Research each creator's content, audience, and past brand collaborations before reaching out, so outreach is specific and credible, not generic
• Lead cold and warm outreach to creators and their management or agencies, and manage the relationship from first contact through to signed collaboration

Partnership and Deal Management

• Negotiate collaboration terms, from one-off content placements to ongoing ambassador-style relationships
• Coordinate content briefs, timelines, and deliverables with creators, making sure output aligns with both the creator's style and Robot24.com's brand
• Track collaboration performance and use results to prioritise which relationships to deepen and repeat

Relationship Management

• Act as the primary point of contact for creators Robot24.com works with, building relationships that go beyond single transactions
• Stay current on who is rising and who matters in the AI, tech, and robotics creator space, so outreach targets the right people before competitors do
• Represent Robot24.com credibly to creators and their teams, understanding what motivates a creator to work with a brand versus decline

Reporting

• Track outreach volume, response and conversion rates, and collaboration outcomes
• Report on which creators and collaboration formats actually move reach and engagement numbers, and feed that back into future targeting

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• Proven experience in influencer marketing or creator partnerships, with a track record of successfully reaching out to and closing deals with creators who have large followings
• Existing familiarity with the AI, tech, or robotics creator landscape, or a demonstrated ability to map a creator landscape quickly and credibly
• Strong outreach and negotiation skills: you can get a response from someone who ignores most cold messages, and close a deal on reasonable terms
• Excellent written communication. Outreach quality is the job

Strongly preferred

• Existing relationships or a warm network among AI, tech, or robotics creators and influencers
• Experience working both sides of influencer marketing (in-house brand side and creator or agency side), giving you insight into what actually gets a yes

Not a fit

• Experience limited to running paid influencer campaigns through a platform or agency intermediary, without direct outreach and relationship-building
• No evidence of having closed collaborations with creators at meaningful scale (large following or high-relevance audience)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Marketing, Communications, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• 3+ years in influencer marketing, creator partnerships, talent relations, or a closely related field
• Demonstrable results: creators or influencers you've successfully brought on, with reach or engagement numbers you can speak to
• Comfortable working with contracts and negotiating terms, with support from the wider team on final agreements

What Success Looks Like

• 3 months: a live, qualified pipeline of AI, tech, and robotics creators is built, and outreach is underway with an established cadence
• 6 months: multiple collaborations with creators at meaningful scale (including several with audiences in the millions) are signed and delivering measurable reach for Robot24.com
