Full Job Description
Job Description
What you'll own

  • New customer volume, qualified UV and CAC across EN, JP and KR sites
  • The content engine: what we post, why, and what hypothesis each piece is testing
  • Creator and affiliate partnerships - sourcing, negotiating, and scaling what works
  • A weekly product discovery pipeline that connects trends to inventory we can actually sell
  • The attribution layer: UTM discipline, social-to-site tracking, and a defensible answer to "where did this customer come from"


What you'll do first

  • Build the measurement foundation - UTM governance and social-to-site attribution, working with our data team. Today we can't trace external content to on-site conversion, and nothing else you do is provable until we can.
  • Turn on Instagram Shopping and product tagging so content has a path to purchase
  • Establish a content calendar with a clear split between evergreen category plays and trend capture
  • Set a baseline and a target for new customer conversion, then move it


What we're looking for

  • 4+ years in social, content or creator-led growth, including experience leading or mentoring others
  • You are genuinely native to the platforms. You know what's working on TikTok this month, not last year. You can tell the difference between a trend worth chasing and one that's already over.
  • Proven track record building organic social or creator programs that drove measurable revenue - not follower counts
  • Hands-on affiliate marketing experience: creator commissions, publisher partnerships, TikTok Shop or equivalent
  • Comfort building measurement where none exists - UTM taxonomy, channel attribution, basic cohort analysis
  • Strong taste in product and culture. Much of this job is choosing what to put in front of people.
  • Partnership instincts: this only works if it's tightly coupled to merchandising, site operations and CRM


Nice to have

  • Experience at a consumer brand or e-commerce company that grew primarily through social and creators rather than paid media
  • Food, beauty, or Asian consumer category experience
  • Japanese or Korean market exposure
  • Reddit or community-led growth experience
  • You don't need deep paid media expertise - that sits with our central performance team. You do need to know enough to brief them well.


Why this role is interesting

Most social roles report into a brand team and get measured on reach. This one reports into a market P&L and gets measured on customers. You'll have real budget, a team, and a category - Asian food and beauty - that is genuinely having a cultural moment in the US. The demand is there. What's missing is the system that turns attention into customers. That's what you'd build.
