The position combines e-commerce strategy, financial analysis, product merchandising, creator commerce, and client leadership.
You will use data to identify high-potential products, improve listings, optimize performance, and guide investment decisions.
As a player-coach, you will balance strategic ownership with hands-on execution while partnering with specialist teams when appropriate.

Own assigned TikTok Shop accounts as the dedicated strategist, developing and managing a 12-month growth roadmap in partnership with account managers and specialist teams.
Lead brand discovery and comprehensive catalog audits across TikTok Shop, Amazon, direct-to-consumer channels, and other relevant marketplaces.
Evaluate products against profitability, content potential, inventory availability, affiliate economics, compliance considerations, cross-channel demand, and overall TikTok Shop fit.
Select one to three priority “Hero Products” with the strongest potential to drive channel growth and establish a scalable commercial strategy.
Prepare products for launch by optimizing titles, descriptions, attributes, images, variations, bundles, pricing, and search visibility.
Review pricing and channel parity while monitoring compliance and overall shop health to ensure launch readiness.

Partner with Sampling, Affiliate, Account Management, and other specialist teams to align creator strategy, product priorities, product seeding, affiliate launches, and client reporting.
Lead important client interactions, including kickoff meetings, quarterly business reviews, and 90-day strategy reviews.
Communicate strategic recommendations clearly and confidently, ensuring decisions are documented, measurable, and supported by data.
Capture insights from client and product performance and share them with internal teams to improve the broader TikTok Shop managed-service offering.
Operate as a player-coach by making strategic decisions, taking ownership of outcomes, delegating when specialist support is more efficient, and executing directly when necessary.
