Responsibilities

• Paid Affiliate Strategy & Contracting (Pay for Play) – Own the end-to-end strategy and execution of paid-affiliate (Pay for Play) programs across all assigned client accounts.
• Source, vet, and contract creators on a paid (flat-fee or negotiated) basis — prioritizing conversion potential and product-creator fit, not follower count.
• Negotiate creator rates, deliverables, usage rights, and timelines; manage contracts from agreement through delivery.
• Set activation targets and program benchmarks in alignment with client GMV goals; own accountability for hitting them.
• Stay current on TikTok Shop platform updates and creator monetization trends, and translate them into contracting and activation decisions ahead of the curve.
• Creator Community Ownership & Relationship Management – Build, grow, and retain the Adquadrant TikTok Shop affiliate community in Discord (the AQ Creators community) — you are the first face of Adquadrant for many of these creators.
• Own the recruitment funnel end-to-end: outreach → application / intake → onboarding → activation → long-term engagement.
• Lead onboarding and engagement programming — welcome calls, office hours, creator spotlights, content shoutouts — with 2+ monthly live touchpoints.
• Build and retain a diverse, performance-aligned bench of creators; re-engage drop-offs and keep the community active and inspired.
• Hold creator relationships like they are yours: respond fast, follow through, and build the trust that makes creators say yes to paid deals.

Requirements

• 3–5 years of experience in creator partnerships, affiliate or influencer marketing, or talent acquisition — with direct, hands-on experience contracting creators on a paid (flat-fee or negotiated) basis. Candidates whose experience is limited to organic or gifted influencer marketing with no paid-contracting track record will not be considered.
• Working knowledge of the TikTok Shop affiliate ecosystem — Affiliate Center and Seller Center, creator sourcing, sample / seeding flows, and GMV and commission mechanics. Not surface-level familiarity.
• Proven ability to negotiate creator rates and manage contracts, deliverables, and usage rights.
• Demonstrated community-building and creator relationship management at scale — you have built and retained a bench of creators and run engagement programming.
• Proven ability to independently run a creator CRM / pipeline and build the process behind it — trackers, SOPs, and outreach systems.
• Clear, direct communicator — with creators and internal teams. You write well and you do not let things get ambiguous.
• High ownership mentality; you do not wait to be asked and you do not let things fall through the cracks.
• Uses AI to work faster — outreach, drafting, reporting, and analysis.

Preferred

• Agency or multi-client experience — comfortable context-switching across accounts with different products, goals, and maturity levels.
• Hands-on Discord community management or creator-community building.
• Background in e-commerce, DTC, or CPG brands with active TikTok Shop presence.
• Familiarity with CRM or creator management platforms.
• Exposure to or interest in Meta creator / affiliate programs as an adjacent and growing channel.

• Flexible PTO and Paid Company Holidays
• Remote-first environment
• $300 annual home office stipend
• $30 monthly internet stipend
