Additional compensation types

Annual Bonus

We’re Blue Bear, a tight-knit Denver-based team that loves what we do. We’re flexible multi-taskers who prioritize collaboration and are serious about doing great work for awesome brands. And we’re looking for someone who wants to make a tangible impact, not just fill a seat.

We’re growing a service line for a major client, and we need a dedicated lead to help develop it. This is a unique hybrid role managing the end-to-end TikTok Shop ecosystem—combining the human side of creator outreach (affiliates) with the technical side of paid media management (GMV Max).

You won’t just be following a rigid script. You’ll have the autonomy to help define workflows, optimize performance, and influence how we grow this channel for current and future clients.

What You’ll Do

This role is a hybrid of affiliate program management and media buying. You are the bridge between the creators making the content and the ad dollars amplifying it.

• The "Fuel" (Affiliate Operations): You’ll use tools like Euka.ai to manage a pipeline of TikTok creators. You’ll facilitate getting products into their hands (client owns the actual fulfillment), ensure they post, and keep the relationship warm.
• The "Engine" (Paid Media): You’ll take the best performing user-generated content (UGC) and run paid campaigns (TikTok GMV Max & Spark Ads). You’ll monitor ROAS and scale the winners.
• The Strategy: You won't just execute; you'll optimize. You’ll help us refine our outreach, tweak our media buying thresholds, and report back on what’s actually moving the needle for the client.

Who You Are

• A Paid Media Native: You have 3–4+ years of experience in paid social (Meta/Facebook Ads, Instagram, or TikTok). You understand CAC, ROAS, and the difference between "vanity metrics" and real sales.
• An Entrepreneurial Spirit: You thrive in environments where you have to figure things out and take ownership of your results.
• Data-Driven but Human: You can stare at a spreadsheet to analyze cohort retention, but you also have the people skills to DM a creator and build a genuine connection.
• Thirsty for Knowledge: You might not be a TikTok Shop expert yet, but you’re the type of person who reads Reddit threads or watches tutorials to figure out a new skillset or platform.

Requirements

• Experience: 3+ years in Paid Media, Performance Marketing, or Affiliate Operations.
• Location: Denver area (Must be able to join us in-office at least once a week).
• Tech Savvy: Familiarity with CRMs or Affiliate platforms (Grin, CreatorIQ, Euka, etc.) is a major plus.
• Bonus Points: Specific experience with TikTok Ads Manager or TikTok Seller Center.

The Goods

• Salary: $75,000 – $80,000 Base Salary (Dependent on experience)
• High Upside: Performance bonus structure tied to the growth of the account
• Culture: We work hard, but we’re human first. We value collaboration, rapid feedback, and people who are serious about doing great work for awesome brands

Ready to build something with us? If you’re a paid social enthusiast looking to break out of the standard agency grind and take ownership of a high-growth channel, we’d love to meet you.
