[Hiring] Associate TikTok Strategist @Podean

Role Description

As an Associate Strategist, you’re the connective tissue of the pod where clarity meets action. You turn strategy into motion, help maintain our command centers, and ensure every moving part flows smoothly from planning to execution.

You’ll be deeply embedded in the rhythm of the work: running daily operations, anticipating needs before they’re spoken, and documenting the playbook as we go.

Your craft is flow — the ability to keep people, systems, and priorities aligned so that every campaign lands cleanly and every win is repeatable.

This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in structure, loves creating order, and takes pride in making teams look and feel more capable than before.

What You’ll Own

• Program Management & Pod Operations
  • Maintain the Command Center daily — updating task status, owners, and next steps.
  • Prioritize and sequence deliverables so campaigns move forward without friction.
  • Run a daily Hot List of blockers and ensure each one has an owner and ETA.
  • Proactively identify process bottlenecks and suggest improvements.
• Meeting Operations & Communication
  • Prep meeting agendas, capture structured notes, and summarize decisions + follow-ups.
  • Publish clear daily EOD summaries (3 wins, 3 risks, 3 next actions).
  • Support client standups and internal calls when strategist coverage is needed.
• Documentation & SOPs
  • Translate strategist frameworks and workflows into clear, reusable SOPs.
  • Maintain a monthly SOP change log and archive outdated versions.
  • Identify repeatable processes and document them to support scale.
• Creator & Campaign Support
  • Maintain the creator pipeline — track stages, sampling status, Spark Code progress, and GMV.
  • Prepare creator briefs, message drafts, and campaign one-pagers.
  • Coordinate listings, PIDs, and sample logistics with virtual admins and ops.
  • Step into short-term strategist coverage during spikes or absences, maintaining the integrity of approved strategy and budget.
• Reporting & Scorecards
  • Update weekly dashboards (Shop, Ads, Creator).
  • Report key performance notes — wins, risks, and next actions.
  • Surface insights that help the pod and strategist make smarter decisions.

Your Rhythm

• Daily: Command Center hygiene, EOD summaries, resolve blockers.
• Weekly: Retro + priorities with strategist, creator/content board updates, ad snapshot (spend, ROAS, top creatives).
• Monthly: SOP reviews and documentation updates.

Decision Rights

• Prioritize pod sprints and task sequencing within approved strategy.
• Adjust timelines by up to 3 business days to maintain flow (escalate if strategic).
• Communicate directly with clients for recaps or updates; escalate anything tied to scope, budget, or strategy.

Qualifications

• Experience in project management or operations.
• Strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
• Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.

Requirements

• Proficiency in project management tools and software.
• Experience with documentation and process improvement.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities effectively.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation - aligned to experience and market benchmarks.
• Global collaboration - working with experts across regions and time zones.
• Career growth and development - opportunities to evolve as we scale.
• 5-Year Sabbatical + Travel Stipend - After your 5-year anniversary, take a fully paid month-long sabbatical, plus a travel reimbursement to make your experience restorative and inspiring.
• Positive-energy culture - grounded in respect, inclusion, and accountability.
• Meaningful impact - helping some of the world’s most progressive brands grow.
