# Affiliate Manager - TTS Focused

> Activate Talent · Mexico (Remote) · — · Posted 2026-01-20

**Workplace:** remote

## Description

We are seeking an experienced **Affiliate Manager** with a strong focus on **TikTok Shop (TTS) Affiliates** to drive and scale our affiliate growth strategy. This role requires deep, hands-on experience using the **TikTok Shop Affiliate backend tool** and a proven ability to recruit, manage, and optimize affiliate partnerships at scale.

This position can easily be mistaken for standard influencer outreach; however, while creator outreach is part of the job, the primary value of this role is **operational depth within TikTok Shop**, system familiarity, and **performance-driven execution**. The ideal candidate has direct experience working within a TikTok Shop ecosystem that operates at meaningful GMV scale and can fully own the affiliate channel end-to-end.

This role will initially focus heavily on **TTS platform affiliates**, but will expand into **off-platform affiliate recruitment** across creators, publishers, and strategic partners.

### **Key Responsibilities**

-   Manage, optimize, and scale **TikTok Shop affiliate partnerships** using the TikTok Shop Affiliate backend tool.
-   Recruit, onboard, and develop new affiliates to drive revenue growth and consistent performance.
-   Build strong relationships with affiliates and creators, ensuring engagement, support, and long-term retention.
-   Track and evaluate affiliate performance, providing actionable reporting and optimization insights.
-   Drive affiliate program growth through **sampling expansion**, increasing sampling volume on a monthly basis.
-   Set up and oversee affiliate **automation tools** (including bots and workflow automation) to improve scaling and execution.
-   Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and Operations teams to align affiliate campaigns with brand goals.
-   Expand the affiliate program beyond TikTok Shop to include off-platform creators, publishers, and partner ecosystems.
-   Stay up to date on TikTok Shop trends, competitor activity, and affiliate marketing best practices.

## Requirements

### **Requirements**

-   Proven experience managing **TikTok Shop Affiliates**, including strong hands-on knowledge of the **TTS Affiliate backend tool**.
-   Experience operating within TikTok Shop environments with **meaningful GMV scale** (highly preferred).
-   Strong understanding of affiliate marketing strategy, recruitment, onboarding, and performance optimization.
-   Experience doing **manual outreach with creators**, including recruitment and relationship management.
-   Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret performance data and continuously optimize results.
-   Strong communication skills and ability to build trust-based partnerships with creators and affiliates.
-   Highly proactive and self-directed—able to take full ownership of the affiliate channel and scale it independently.
-   Experience building or scaling off-platform affiliate partnerships is a plus (but not required).

### **What Success Looks Like**

-   A consistently growing and well-managed TikTok Shop affiliate pipeline
-   Increased affiliate-driven GMV and improved efficiency across the program
-   Strong affiliate retention and engagement through structured communication and support
-   Scaling systems in place (automation, sampling workflows, tracking/reporting) that enable ongoing growth
