TikTok Shop & Creator Manager

TIKTOK SHOP & CREATOR MANAGER.LONDON. HYBRID REMOTE. ££COMPETITIVE

AKT (pronounced “act”) is The Personal Performance Company with multi award-winning body care that may change your life. Founded by West End stars Ed Currie and Andy Coxon, AKT is by and for those who are “Born to Perform” — on the stage, at work, or in life.

In 2020, The Deodorant Balm made its stunning debut to rave reviews and awards from Vogue, GQ, Esquire, and Harper’s BAZAAR. Plastic-free, aluminium-free, and gender-free, The Deodorant Balm instantly resonated with those looking for a natural deodorant that genuinely worked. Five fragrances and over 700,000 happy armpits later, The Deodorant Balm is already becoming a household name.

To this day, every new AKT product is put through its paces by London’s hard-working theatre community to ensure it lives up to the high standards of its founders. As a rule, AKT’s products don’t break character — ever. It’s this effectiveness that has propelled AKT from the backstage to bathroom cabinets, bedside tables, duffel bags, and carry-on luggage worldwide. And the good news is — the performance is just getting started.

About The Role:

As the TikTok Shop & Creator Manager, you will be the primary owner of the day-to-day revenue growth of the AKT TikTok Shop. This person will be hands-on with focuses on driving revenue through two key pillars: frequent Live productions (both Founder and Creator-led) and the sourcing and management of a high-volume affiliate creator network. You will be in charge of managing the UK and US shops immediately, with the job scope to support future launches in Australia and Germany.

It will be your role to identify top-performing organic content for amplification, and to partner with them as a brand guardian to ensure no paid budget is applied to content that misses quality standards. A key area will be to collaborate on the production of pre-Live promotional content and execution of studio Lives with our Founders.

This role operates within a fast-paced, start-up environment, requiring a hands-on approach. The role is based in the UK under an agile working policy, with monthly team days in the London office. Occasional travel for events may be required.
