About the Company

Our client is a fast-growing functional wellness brand on a mission to make daily wellness effortless. Co-founded by a globally recognized fitness entrepreneur, the company is rapidly scaling its creator program to drive measurable revenue and brand growth. The role operates in a dynamic, high-growth marketing environment, combining influencer, affiliate, and performance marketing.

Role Overview

As the Affiliate Marketing Manager (TikTok Shop), you will own and scale the end-to-end affiliate and creator program with a strong focus on TikTok Shop and performance-driven growth. This role goes beyond traditional influencer marketing—you’ll drive measurable revenue through affiliate partnerships, optimize creator performance, and leverage both organic and paid strategies to scale results.

You will combine high-volume, AI-powered outreach with hands-on relationship management, while working closely with performance marketing to amplify top-performing content. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role with direct visibility to leadership.

Your Impact

You will build and scale a high-performing affiliate engine focused on TikTok Shop, driving revenue through creator partnerships. You’ll expand outreach from dozens to hundreds (or thousands) of creators, optimize conversion and ROI, and bridge organic creator content with paid amplification strategies such as Spark Ads and whitelisting.
