A creative agency needs someone who has actually built a TikTok Shop. Their client, a national consumer brand, wants to sell branded merchandise on TikTok in time for the holidays. The agency is writing the proposal and needs someone who has been through this before.
Phase one is a conversation. A few hours of your time to tell them what setting this up really takes: timeline, cost, what TikTok approves and what it doesn't, and where a brand like this gets stuck. If the client greenlights it, phase two is building the thing, and they want the same person for it.
What we need you to have done
Set up and launched a TikTok Shop in Seller Center for a US brand, yourself
Been through category and brand approval, and know what gets a shop rejected
Built the catalog: listings, shipping templates, fulfillment and returns
Run the affiliate and creator side. That's what makes a shop sell
Sat on a call with a brand team and scoped the work, not just executed someone else's plan
Nice to have
Shopify integration
TikTok Shop ads (GMV Max, Spark, Video Shopping Ads)
LIVE selling
Merch or licensed apparel specifically
A holiday launch you've already survived
The details
Phase 1: a few hours, scoping and advice
Phase 2: the build, if the client approves it. Scope and timing to be defined
Remote
Start: soon. Holiday timing is driving this
