TikTok Shop Account Manager · AI-native · main pod
We’re looking for an account manager to build the top agency in TikTok Shop, and be paid well for it.
The title is Account Manager. The job is orchestration: an AI-native TikTok Shop account orchestrator, running our main pod with an operator beside you. Your base grows as the book passes five brands, and your pod keeps a third of what Volyat earns in performance fees on your brands.
A note from Saief
Why this role exists.
I’m Saief, Volyat’s founder. We’re a boutique TikTok Shop agency, official partner in the US and the UK, and I’ve kept us small on purpose: a short client list, run tightly, tracked to the dollar.
This role is me handing over our main pod. The strategy, the weekly client calls, the P&L: all of it becomes yours. You won’t run it alone either, you get a TikTok Shop operator beside you, and both of you work AI-first, because I’d rather pay two A-players well than hire six people to do work a system can do.
On pay, I’d rather share upside from day one than dangle a title and ask you to wait. Your base climbs as the book passes five brands, you take the larger share of your pod’s bonus on top of it, and when the book grows past 2 to 3 pods, someone becomes Head of Delivery. I want it to be the person who ran this pod well.
Why Volyat
What you’d be joining.
And the clients say it in their own words:
“Totally transformed my business… get started with them yesterday!”
“They're hands-on, know what they're doing, and most importantly we don't have to chase or follow up constantly.”
We keep the client list short and run every shop as an engineered, tracked channel.
We also build our own software for the job, because nothing off the shelf runs a portfolio the way we want it run.

The command center for every shop we run.
Pace against target for every brand, and a weekly call on what to do next. You'd run your pod from it.
Illustrative visualCoach AI
An AI coach for every creator in our network.
In development: it reviews creator content and coaches each one toward better numbers, without waiting on a person to watch every video.
The role
Every call on your brands is yours to make.
- The strategy and the P&L for every brand in your pod. When the number moves, that's on you.
- The client relationship, direct. You run the weekly calls and you deliver the good news and the bad.
- The systems your pod runs on. If a job happens twice, you build it once and hand it to AI.
- The Growth OS engine on every brand: the margin gate, the launch sprint, the creator plan.
- Portfolio Pulse as your cockpit. Every dollar in your book traces back to a decision you made.
- Your operator's priorities and standards, and the weekly cadence you both work to.
The bar
What you’ll need.
- Excellent written and spoken English, and presentable on a client call.
- A TikTok Shop you can document at $200k+ a month. Screenshots, not stories.
- Decent working knowledge of TikTok Shop end to end: listings, creators, seeding, campaigns, GMV Max, lives.
- Decent knowledge of brand building and DTC generally, not TikTok Shop in isolation.
- Organized and structured. You hold a book of brands straight without being chased for it.
- AI-native, or close enough that you experiment constantly and learn fast.
- You think in systems, optimization and efficiency. Work repeated by hand reads as a bug to you.
- A go-getter who moves at speed. You'd rather ship this week's version than plan next quarter's.
- You fit how we work: fast, efficient, humble, honest.
Read this first
Who thrives here, and who doesn’t.
Read this bit twice
This job asks for more hours and more ownership than most, and part of the pay is where it leads. That trade is the whole point. If it doesn’t excite you, trust that instinct.
You’ll thrive if
- You already run TikTok Shop day to day and want a bigger book to prove it on.
- You look at the Head of Delivery seat and start planning how to earn it.
- You reach for AI first, and it bothers you when a job still needs a person twice.
- Pay tied to your own performance has always sounded better to you than a flat salary.
Probably not for you if
- You want a steady 9 to 5 where the day ends when the clock says so. This seat is the opposite of that, and a year spent finding out would be a year wasted.
- You'd be learning TikTok Shop on this job. Come in already good at it.
- AI is something you've read about rather than something you use every day.
- You want the Manager title more than the number behind it.
- You need someone to check your work before it ships.
The math
Base that grows with your book, plus a cut of what your pod earns.
Base is $3,000 a month for a book of up to five brands. Every brand past the fifth adds $200 a month, for as long as that brand stays. On top of that, a third of what Volyat earns in performance fees from your brands goes to your pod as a bonus, and you take the larger share of it.
The formula
Illustrative example, not a quoteThree months, worked out
Illustrative example only. Not a guarantee, an offer, or a real client’s numbers. Shown on the $3,000 base, before the per-brand kicker above five. Your pod bonus and the quarterly bonus both run on clear rules, not unconditional payouts.
There’s a quarterly bonus too, on the same kind of terms:
Where this goes
The plan runs past this pod.
The aim is a roster of pods, all run the same way, until Volyat is the name people think of for TikTok Shop delivery. Past 2 to 3 pods the book needs a Head of Delivery, and running the main pod well puts you at the front of that conversation.
Your number grows with the book
Past five brands, every one you add or keep raises your base that month, and every dollar your pod drives raises your share. Take on a second pod as the book expands and it compounds again.
Why the pay is built this way
A bigger flat salary was an option. We chose upside instead, because this seat only works if you think like an owner. The client-linked base, your pod’s bonus and the Head of Delivery path are all the same bet: that you’re that person.
