TikTok Shop Content Creator Manager – Build & Scale Influencer Growth Engine (Remote)

Company Overview

Pearl West is a high-growth operator of consumer brands, scaling aggressively across TikTok Shops and Amazon. With $45M+ in run-rate revenue and a lean, elite team, we acquire and grow brands like startups—with the capital and structure to exit them at peak value.

We’re not an agency. We’re not passive investors. We’re operators—fast, focused, and performance-obsessed. Our centralized growth model spans creative, media, ops, and marketplace execution across six owned brands and counting.

Our mission: Build unforgettable brands—and exit them at their peak.

Role Overview

We’re looking for a TikTok Shop Content Creator Manager to build, manage, and scale a high-performing creator acquisition and retention system. This role isn’t about PR or vanity influencers—it’s about driving revenue with creators at scale. You’ll be responsible for building out Pearl West’s TikTok influencer engine: sourcing creators directly, growing relationships with TAPs (TikTok Agency Partners) and creator agencies, and putting top talent on performance-based retainers.

You'll own creator pipelines end-to-end—from outreach and negotiation to content briefing and performance feedback. You know how to work with agencies, how to scale what works, and how to turn creators into consistent revenue channels.

This is a full-time, remote role for someone with deep experience in TikTok Shops, creator marketing, and affiliate or commission-based influencer ecosystems.

Key Responsibilities

• Own Creator Acquisition Strategy for TikTok Shops: Build a high-performing network of creators who can drive revenue on TikTok Shops, including affiliates, influencers, and UGC talent.
• Grow TAP & Creator Agency Partnerships: Identify and develop deep relationships with TAPs (TikTok Agency Partners) and third-party creator agencies. Expand these partnerships into scalable deal flow, consistent performance, and content output.
• Put Top Creators on Retainer & Commission Models: Secure creators on monthly retainers, hybrid commission models, or CPA arrangements. Build loyalty and ensure consistent product promotion.
• Sourcing & Recruitment: Leverage internal tools, creator marketplaces, agency networks, and social media to recruit net-new creators weekly. Build and manage a structured creator pipeline with performance tracking.
• Campaign Execution & Briefing: Manage full-funnel execution from content brief development to creator onboarding, delivery timelines, and product fulfillment.
• Community Building & Retention: Create and nurture an engaged creator community through Slack, Discord, or private groups. Offer training, perks, and feedback loops to drive motivation and retention.
• Performance Tracking & Optimization: Analyze individual creator performance (CTR, CPA, ROAS), deliver feedback, and adjust strategy. Focus on scalable wins and rapidly eliminate underperformers.
• Cross-Functional Alignment: Work closely with growth, creative, and media teams to plug top-performing content into paid campaigns, whitelisting, and top-of-funnel strategy
