Influencer & TikTok Shop Partnerships Specialist
📍 Remote | Full-Time | Thumbstop Collective
At Thumbstop Collective, we don’t just follow trends — we create the kind that convert. With over $125M in ad spend, 16B+ impressions, and 5M+ products sold, we live at the intersection of performance marketing, creator culture, and social commerce.
We’re looking for an Influencer & TikTok Shop Partnerships Manager who can blend the art of product seeding with the science of performance-driven creator partnerships. This role is part relationship-builder, part deal-closer, and part campaign optimizer. You’ll be identifying creators with content power and commercial potential — and activating them through product seeding, affiliate partnerships, and TikTok Shop.
If you're excited by creators, obsessed with short-form content, and ready to move real product through real people, we want to hear from you.
What You’ll Be Doing
1. Creator Discovery & Relationship Building
- Identify content creators, influencers, and streamers who align with our brands and can move product organically or through affiliate programs.
- Build and manage a creator database across TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Twitch, and emerging platforms.
- Own outreach, onboarding, and long-term relationship development — ensuring creators feel like true partners.
Â
2. Product Seeding Campaigns
- Develop and execute scalable seeding strategies to get products into the hands of the right creators.
- Coordinate shipments, track deliveries, and ensure memorable, premium unboxing experiences.
- Monitor for organic mentions, shoutouts, and user-generated content sparked by seeded products.
Â
3. TikTok Shop & Affiliate Partnerships
- Recruit creators into TikTok Shop affiliate programs, negotiate terms, and help them get set up to sell.
- Support them with product knowledge, conversion strategies, and content ideas to help maximize sales.
- Monitor affiliate performance — from clicks and conversions to GMV and ROAS — and scale what’s working.
Â
4. Campaign Collaboration & Execution
- Work closely with internal brand, creative, and performance teams to align creators with key launches and promos.
- Support coordination of TikTok Lives, UGC campaigns, and creator-driven initiatives that drive results.
- Help create feedback loops between creator content and performance data to optimize campaigns in real time.
Â
5. Reporting & Insights
- Analyze seeding and affiliate data to provide actionable insights to the team.
- Identify high-performing creators for deeper collaborations or paid partnerships.
- Stay on top of platform updates, creator economy shifts, and TikTok Shop trends.
