Job Summary

Own the TikTok Shop P&L for UK and EU with a sharp focus on gross profit, contribution margin after ad spend, and a data-driven live strategy that scales without eroding margins. You own channel growth, creator economics, and inventory health, while balancing agency-led scale with in-house support for brand-critical moments.

  • Channel ownership: live strategy, live hour efficiency, and live creator campaigns with a formal post-mortem.
  • Commercial ownership: P&L, margin defense, and affiliate program growth with tiered incentives and pruning.
  • Market intelligence: pull trends with tools, build weekly briefs for product, merchandising, and NPD teams.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own TikTok Shop P&L across UK and EU including forecast monthly, report variance weekly, defend margin against ad spend creep and commission inflation
  • Gross profit in pounds as the primary KPI, not GMV
  • Contribution margin after ad spend, affiliate commission, sample and sampling cost, returns, and platform fees
  • Growth rate benchmarked against the supplement category, not just internal target
  • Own the relationship with our TikTok Account Manager: extract boosts, beta features, category programs, and policy escalations
  • Defend ROAS while scaling spend; flag margin erosion early
  • Expand the affiliate program: tiered commissions by performance band, structured recruitment, activation, retention, and pruning process
  • Build creator campaigns with structured hypothesis, budget, output, and post-mortem
  • Manage commission economics to balance creator incentive with margin
  • Maintain the active creator base (the number that matters is active creators producing sales)
  • Set the live strategy: agency-led for scale, in-house for brand-critical hours, or hybrid
  • Measure revenue per live hour and improve it; total live hours is not a goal
  • Optimise listings: titles, images, PDP video, bundles, price ladder, hero SKU concentration
  • Steer the catalogue toward priority products: Creatine Plus Electrolytes, Creatine Monohydrate, RAW Bars, Creatine Gummies, Creatine Plus Co
  • Forecasting and Inbound Replenishment: maintain stock availability on key lines, ensure hero SKUs hold sufficient weeks of forward cover to support demand
  • Strengthen the replenishment process with Operations to plan inbound replenishment into TikTok FBT
  • Use Kalodata, Fastmoss, EchoTik, or equivalent tooling to mine trending products, keywords, creatives, and creators
  • Produce a weekly intelligence briefing that feeds creative, merchandising, and NPD signal back to the product team
  • Benchmark performance against competitors and emerging entrants
  • Treat TikTok EU as a defined workstream with its own forecast, resourcing plan, and country-by-country compliance considerations

Requirements

  • You\'ve personally owned TikTok Shop revenue of £3m+ trailing 12-month actual for a single brand, agency-side or in-house.
  • You can walk through the full P&L of the brand you scaled: contribution margin after ad spend, affiliate commission, samples, returns, and platform fees.
  • Hands-on experience with intelligence tools, with specific examples of how you used them to find trending creatives, products, or creators.
  • Have run affiliate programs at scale (200+ active creators producing sales) with a clear activation, tiering, and pruning process.
  • Comfortable in spreadsheets and pivot tables. You build your own contribution margin model.

Nice-to-have

  • EU TikTok Shop experience
  • Multilingual capability or familiarity with EU regulatory environment for supplements
  • Experience hiring and building a small team underneath you
  • Direct exposure to a vertically integrated manufacturer or a brand with in-house supply
  • Hybrid background: agency exposure for breadth, then in-house ownership of a single brand’s P&L for depth

Benefits

  • Cycle Scheme
  • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) providing confidential support for wellbeing, mental health, and personal matters
  • Hybrid working model with occasional travel to events, partners, and international markets as required

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary with a performance-related bonus linked to gross profit
