Associate TikTok Strategist

Podean is a leading marketplace agency helping brands accelerate growth across Amazon, Walmart, Target, TikTok Shop, and other digital commerce platforms. We combine strategic expertise, data-driven insights, and creative innovation to deliver measurable business outcomes for our clients. About Social Commerce Club We are at the intersection of eCommerce, content, and social media, and we aim to lead this movement with agility, creativity, and measurable impact. Whether it's TikTok Shops, YouTube Shopping, or another platform that hasn't even launched yet, our focus is always on turning views into sales. Our job is not just to make great content or run profitable ads—it’s to merge the two into a powerful, scalable system that grows brands. The future belongs to brands that adapt and thrive on social platforms, and we're building the bridge to that future. Mission Be the strategist’s operating system. Keep work moving, close gaps, and document how we win so the pod can scale. Your work ensures clarity, momentum, and quality in every campaign - freeing strategists to think and lead while the pod executes with precision and flow. Within a 90-120 day ramp, you'll be ready to take partial ownership of campaigns and client communications with confidence. The Role As an Associate Strategist, you're the connective tissue of the pod where clarity meets action. You turn strategy into motion, help maintain our command centers, and ensure every moving part flows smoothly from planning to execution. You'll be deeply embedded in the rhythm of the work: running daily operations, anticipating needs before they're spoken, and documenting the playbook as we go. Your craft is flow - the ability to keep people, systems, and priorities aligned so that every campaign lands cleanly and every win is repeatable. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in structure, loves creating order, and takes pride in making teams look and feel more capable than before. What You'll Own 1. Program Management & Pod Operations Maintain the Command Center daily - updating task status, owners, and next steps. Prioritize and sequence deliverables so campaigns move forward without friction. Run a daily Hot List of blockers and ensure each one has an owner and ETA. Proactively identify process bottlenecks and suggest improvements. 2. Meeting Operations & Communication Prep meeting agendas, capture structured notes, and summarize decisions + follow-ups. Publish clear daily EOD summaries (3 wins, 3 risks, 3 next actions). Support client standups and internal calls when strategist coverage is needed. 3. Documentation & SOPs Translate strategist frameworks and workflows into clear, reusable SOPs. Maintain a monthly SOP change log and archive outdated versions. Identify repeatable processes and document them to support scale. 4. Creator & Campaign Support Maintain the creator pipeline - track stages, sampling status, Spark Code progress, and GMV. Prepare creator briefs, message drafts, and campaign one-pagers. Coordinate listings, PIDs, and sample logistics with virtual admins and ops. Step into short-term strategist coverage during spikes or absences, maintaining the integrity of approved strategy and budget. 5. Reporting & Scorecards Update weekly dashboards (Shop, Ads, Creator). Report key performance notes - wins, risks, and next actions. Surface insights that help the pod and strategist make smarter decisions. Your Rhythm Daily: Command Center hygiene, EOD summaries, resolve blockers. Weekly: Retro + priorities with strategist, creator/content board updates, ad snapshot (spend, ROAS, top creatives). Monthly: SOP reviews and documentation updates. Decision Rights Prioritize pod sprints and task sequencing within approved strategy. Adjust timelines by up to 3 business days to maintain flow (escalate if strategic). Communicate directly with clients for recaps or updates; elevate anything tied to scope, budget, or strategy.
