Responsibilities

TikTok's Global Business Solutions (GBS) regional sales and advertising teams drive revenue growth by promoting our advertising solutions, onboarding clients, and running campaigns that deliver measurable results.

Client needs, market trends, and performance expectations shift constantly, and differently in every market. We build strategy accordingly, turning those moving pieces into advertising solutions that work and client partnerships that last.

Make Your Own Discoveries - Develop deep expertise across TikTok Shop, Shop Ads, merchant tools and the wider ecommerce ecosystem. Stay close to market trends, category dynamics and competitor activity and use these insights to identify new merchant and growth opportunities.
Collaboration Creates Value - Partner closely with Account Management, TikTok Shop, Product, Marketing, Operations, Sales Operations and Enablement. Ensure a seamless merchant journey from acquisition through incubation and graduation and bring merchant feedback back into our wider commercial and product strategy.
