Role
Overview
We are looking for a Senior Tik Tok & Influencer Marketing Specialist to own and scale Tik Tok Shop affiliate operations across multiple campaigns and brands. This role is heavily focused on affiliate outreach, creator management, partnership negotiation, and campaign execution while also contributing strategic insight to improve operational performance and campaign outcomes.
The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with Tik Tok Shop Seller Center and Affiliate Center, understands how to manage high-volume creator pipelines, and can independently oversee the full creator lifecycle from sourcing through content delivery. This is a highly execution-focused role requiring strong organization, follow-through, and communication skills in a globally distributed environment.
You’ll work cross-functionally with internal teams, creators, vendors, and brand stakeholders while helping optimize affiliate systems, outreach workflows, and creator activation strategies. This role is best suited for someone proactive, data-aware, highly accountable, and energized by startup environments where ownership and initiative are valued.

Your operational precision and communication consistency will help maintain reliable campaign execution and strong stakeholder satisfaction.
You’ll also play a key role in improving affiliate systems and workflows by identifying inefficiencies, recommending scalable solutions, and helping the organization move beyond reactive execution toward more strategic campaign operations.
