Full Job Description
Your Mission:

We succeed when our customers succeed. As a Technical Account Manager on the Omnichannel team, you'll own the technical onboarding journey for merchants launching on TikTok Shop with AfterShip Channels-getting them fully live and selling, and setting them up to succeed long term. You'll be the hands-on technical partner who connects and configures each merchant's integration, troubleshoots what breaks, and teaches merchants to operate Channels confidently on their own.

This is both a technical and relationship role. You'll do the hands-on integration and configuration work, and you'll be the merchant's trusted guide: educating them on how to use Channels and adopt the advanced features that make them successful on TikTok Shop. You're not just closing tickets; you're accountable for whether each merchant reaches a live, healthy, self-sufficient state.

What You'll Do:
  • Own end-to-end technical onboarding for merchants launching on TikTok Shop with AfterShip Channels, from kickoff through go-live.
  • Connect and configure integrations between the merchant's storefront and TikTok Shop; sync products, orders, and inventory, and troubleshoot issues (SKU mapping, variants, bundles).
  • Navigate TikTok Shop platform logic-API constraints, policy and whitelist nuances, and fulfillment (FBT) and returns rules.
  • Teach merchants how to use Feed confidently and adopt advanced features so they can operate independently.
  • Drive measurable onboarding outcomes: get merchants to live and healthy within ~30 days, and meaningful advanced-feature adoption thereafter.
  • Guide merchants beyond initial setup-helping them optimize their listings and use AfterShip Feed and Affiliates to grow their presence and sales on TikTok Shop.
  • Partner with merchants on their TikTok Shop growth journey, identifying opportunities for deeper feature adoption and surfacing cross-sell opportunities (e.g. Affiliates) where they'd drive merchant value.
  • Partner with the Omnichannel SA, Product, and GTM teams to translate merchant needs into product improvements, and stay current on platform changes.

Who We're Looking For:
  • 3+ years in a customer-facing technical role - technical account management, solutions, implementation, or technical onboarding in SaaS, ecommerce, or marketplace/integrations technology.
  • Genuine technical fluency: comfort with APIs and integrations, data mapping across systems, and structured troubleshooting. You can diagnose why something isn't working, not just escalate it.
  • A strong educator: able to translate technical concepts into clear guidance and teach merchants to operate independently.
  • Ability to prioritize, multitask, and perform under pressure across multiple accounts.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication; able to hold a credible technical conversation with both merchants and platform partners.
  • Ownership mindset - you treat your accounts as yours to grow and protect.

Nice to have:
  • Hands-on familiarity with TikTok Shop (Seller Center, catalog/listing management, order and inventory sync, fulfillment workflows) and Shopify.
  • Understanding of what drives merchant growth on TikTok Shop-listing optimization, content & affiliates-driven commerce, and platform campaigns-so you can guide merchants beyond initial setup.
  • Familiarity with affiliate/creator operations.
  • Experience onboarding enterprise merchants.
