• Build scalable communication strategies that quickly mobilize creators around priority products, promotions, commission opportunities, content best practices, and TikTok Shop tools.
• Stay ahead of TikTok Shop trends, platform updates, affiliate best practices, and emerging creator behaviors, while gathering community feedback to inform internal teams and future programming.
• Establish and track KPIs for community health and affiliate performance, including active membership, participation, creator activation, content volume, sales, and the effectiveness of community initiatives.
