• Lead initial pitches to understand seller needs, translating the unique value of TikTok Shop into compelling, tailored propositions for them.
• Assess seller fit to confirm potential partners, ensuring strong platform fit, identifying the seller growth strategies, and clear pathways to GMV growth.
• Support end-to-end seller onboarding, registration, account setup, and activation of new sellers.
• Collaborate with internal teams to ensure continued support for onboarded sellers, including merchant navigation through their growth on the platform.
• Meet and exceed monthly/quarterly targets related to seller acquisition and seller GMV growth within a 3-6 month period.
• Understand the TikTok Shop platform, the competition, and our unique positioning in the industry.
