TikTok Shop Growth Specialist — U.S. Market | Affiliate & Creator Growth

Remote | 30-Day Project-Based Engagement

Schedule: Remote, with regular availability during U.S. Pacific Time (PT) business hours. Candidates must be comfortable working with a U.S.-based team and maintaining the overlap needed for day-to-day coordination.

Starbond is looking for an experienced TikTok Shop Growth Specialist to help turn an active U.S. TikTok Shop into a scalable sales channel.

This is not a TikTok Shop setup role and is not a general social media position.

Our TikTok Shop is already active. We are looking for someone with hands-on TikTok Shop experience who can identify why current traffic is not converting, implement the right growth initiatives, develop our affiliate and creator engine, and build a repeatable operating system our internal team can continue using.

The Challenge
From September 1–7, the Shop generated:
36,516 product impressions
1,770 product clicks
0 orders
$0 GMV

Our initial business target is 100 orders within the first 30 days.

The selected specialist will first evaluate the Shop and available performance data and determine what is realistically achievable, what is preventing conversion, and what should be prioritized.

What You Will Do
You will take hands-on ownership of the TikTok Shop growth initiatives, including:
Audit current TikTok Shop performance and conversion barriers
Develop and execute a prioritized growth plan
Recruit and manage TikTok Shop affiliates
Manage creator outreach, gifting, follow-up, activation, and nurture
Recruit creators who can produce effective shoppable content
Develop strategies to increase affiliate-generated content and sales
Develop a TikTok LIVE selling strategy
Identify and coordinate qualified live sellers when needed
Optimize listings, offers, promotions, campaigns, and conversion opportunities
Monitor orders, GMV, conversion, affiliate performance, and other meaningful growth indicators
Identify what is working and what needs to change
Document processes, workflows, templates, and SOPs for internal handoff

30-Day Engagement
Week 1
Audit, diagnose, and prioritize.
Understand the Shop, traffic, products, conversion path, creators, affiliates, listings, promotions, and current opportunities.

Weeks 2–4
Execute.
Run the highest-priority initiatives across affiliates, creators, shoppable content, campaigns, conversion, and LIVE selling.

End of 30 Days
Recommend what should scale and transfer the system.
We want a clear understanding of:
What generated results
What should stop
What should continue
What should scale
What processes the internal team should maintain
What We Are Looking For
You should have actual hands-on experience managing or growing TikTok Shops.
We are especially interested in candidates who can demonstrate experience with:
TikTok Shop growth
Affiliate Center and affiliate recruitment
Creator outreach and activation
Product gifting/sample campaigns
Shoppable video strategies
TikTok LIVE commerce
E-commerce conversion optimization
TikTok Shop analytics
U.S. TikTok Shop accounts
SOP and process development

Experience managing TikTok content or social media alone is not enough. We are looking for someone who understands the commerce side of TikTok and can show measurable results.

Compensation
$6–$7/hour, depending on demonstrated TikTok Shop experience and measurable results.

This is initially a 30-day project-based engagement. The purpose of the project is to establish and validate a scalable TikTok Shop growth system for the business.

To Apply
Instead of sending only a general resume, please answer the following. We will prioritize direct TikTok Shop evidence over general social media experience.

1. Direct Experience — Have you personally managed or grown a TikTok Shop? If yes, identify the market and what you personally owned.

2. Results — Give us one before-and-after example: starting monthly orders / GMV, ending monthly orders / GMV, time period, and the actions you personally implemented.

3. Diagnostic Exercise — A TikTok Shop generated 36,516 product impressions and 1,770 product clicks in 7 days, but 0 orders. Before recommending solutions, what are the first five things you would investigate, in order, and what would each tell you?

4. Hands-On Experience — Which have you personally managed: affiliates, creator outreach, gifting/samples, creator activation, shoppable videos, Shop campaigns/promotions, LIVE selling, listings, conversion optimization, or TikTok Shop analytics?

5. First 7 Days — What are your first three priorities, what would you deliberately postpone, and what result would tell you to change direction?

6. U.S. Market — Have you worked with a U.S. TikTok Shop? If yes, briefly describe your responsibilities.

7. Evidence — Please provide screenshots, dashboards, case studies, or anonymized proof of measurable TikTok Shop results where available.

Applicants with general TikTok content or social media experience but no hands-on TikTok Shop commerce experience will not be prioritized.
