Qualifications - 4-6 years of experience in affiliate marketing, creator partnerships, influencer marketing, social commerce, or related fields. - At least 3 years of direct experience managing social affiliate programs. - Deep understanding of TikTok Shop affiliates and creator ecosystems. - Strong understanding of affiliate business models, incentives, attribution, and performance measurement. - Experience building and scaling affiliate programs that drive measurable revenue growth. - Experience managing affiliate technology platforms, creator tools, or affiliate SaaS solutions. - Proven leadership experience, including managing remote or distributed teams. - Strong analytical skills with the ability to turn performance data into strategic action. - Excellent communication, relationship-building, and presentation skills. - Experience working with consumer brands, retailers, agencies, or commerce-focused organizations is preferred. Who You Are - You think in systems, not silos. - You understand what drives performance across creators, platforms, and brands. - You care about outcomes and how they’re achieved. - You’re highly collaborative, low ego, and accountable for results. - You move quickly and improve things as you go. - You balance strategy with execution. Why This Role Matters The way brands grow is shifting quickly, with affiliate ecosystems now at the center. The brands that win won't simply have the largest affiliate programs; they'll have the strongest ecosystems. This role will define how Third recruits creators, activates affiliates, and turns influence into measurable revenue growth. Success here won't just impact our clients; it will help establish Third as a category leader in affiliate-driven commerce.
