Manager, TikTok Live

Position Overview

TikTok Shop Live has become one of the fastest-growing channels for how Gymreapers connects with our community and drives revenue and we're looking for the first person to own it end to end. As Manager, TikTok Live, you'll set the strategy, build the playbook, and run the day-to-day operation that turns our livestreams into a consistent, profitable engine.
