A218317 Responsibilities E-commerce's Governance and Experience (GNE) organization is dedicated to building a safe, sustainable, and high-trust marketplace where every customer enjoys a seamless purchase experience. Within GNE, the Experience Team focuses on delivering reliable, intuitive, and outstanding end-to-end journeys for all TikTok Shop users. We are looking for a highly strategic and execution-driven Program Manager to lead our Buyer Communications Transformation and Channel Expansion. In this role, you will own the end-to-end buyer transactional communication journey (Email, Push, SMS), drive the localization and decoupling of US messaging systems from global dependencies, and architect crisis-ready self-service tools. Additionally, you will partner closely with PR, Legal, and Customer Service to champion external trust initiatives, elevating our platform's reputation and compliance standing.

Responsibilities:

1. Communication Strategy & Transformation Own and revamp the end-to-end transactional communication journey (from Order Confirmation to Product Review, Logistics, and Returns). Optimize messaging clarity and policy visibility to drive engagement (e.g., MoM open rate lifts) while strategically reducing unnecessary click-throughs to lower avoidable customer service contacts. Lead the strategic decoupling of US buyer communications from Rest of World (ROW) architecture, enabling the US team to iterate independently, localize tone, and bypass engineering (R D) dependencies for faster go-to-market execution. 2. Product Operations & Tooling Infrastructure Champion the vision and rollout of the self-service platform designed to eliminate fragmented tooling, enabling rapid, high-quality bulk buyer/seller outreach and compensation issuance during trust-sensitive or crisis moments. Modernize and govern internal content repositories (e.g., Starling). Establish structured governance, live-status indicators, and self-service preview functionalities to reduce tech debt, operational risk, and tooling clutter across 80K+ communication assets. 3. Performance Monitoring & Incident Remediation Centralize and own the Comms Performance Dashboard, providing unified cross-functional visibility into open rates, failure rates, CTRs, and delivery performance. Act as the primary escalation point for communication delivery issues. Proactively identify and resolve cross-functional conflicts (e.g., suppression caused by User Growth experiments) to ensure 100% delivery of critical aftersales and post-purchase notifications. 4. External Trust, Reputation & Compliance Partner extensively with CS, PR, Legal, and External Affairs to elevate platform credibility. Lead external "Best in Customer Service" award submissions, highlighting measurable improvements in rNPS, buyer protections, and seller safeguards. Support ongoing efforts to strengthen Better Business Bureau (BBB) standing and proactively engage with regulatory bodies (e.g., Attorney General) to reinforce compliance, transparency, and consumer protection standards.

Qualifications Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor's degree in Business, Communications, Operations, or a related field. 5+ years of experience in Customer Experience , Product Operations, CRM, or Program Management, ideally within a fast-paced e-commerce or global tech environment. Proven track record of owning and optimizing omni-channel customer communications (Email, Push, SMS) and measuring their impact on downstream experience metrics (e.g., contact rate reduction, CSAT, rNPS). Experience leading complex, cross-functional technical initiatives (e.g., decoupling global systems, building internal SaaS tools) with minimal engineering oversight. Analytical skills, with the ability to build performance dashboards and use data to identify friction points in the buyer journey. Demonstrated success in managing external reputation initiatives, crisis communications, or compliance-related projects.

Preferred Qualifications:

Familiarity with localization management platforms and structured content governance. Previous experience collaborating with PR, Legal, or Government Affairs on consumer protection and platform trust narratives.
