Founded in 2013, Yami's mission is to bring the world closer for everyone to experience and enjoy. We make it easy to discover exciting flavors and trending products from Asia. Named Inc. Magazine's fastest growing start-up on the "Inc. 500 List.", we're committed to connecting people with authentic food, beauty, home, and wellness experiences through our e-commerce platform, iOS, and Android apps. bout the role Yami is the largest Asian e-commerce platform in North America. Our non-Chinese business — English, Japanese and Korean sites — is our fastest-growing segment, and new customer acquisition is its primary goal. This role owns that goal, and it owns it primarily through social and creator-led growth. You'll lead a team of four across TikTok, Instagram, affiliate and the Korean market. Paid media strategy sits with a central team, so your job is not to optimize a Meta account — it's to build the content engine that makes people discover Asian products they've never heard of, and then buy them. What you'll own New customer volume, qualified UV and CAC across EN, JP and KR sites The content engine: what we post, why, and what hypothesis each piece is testing Creator and affiliate partnerships — sourcing, negotiating, and scaling what works A weekly product discovery pipeline that connects trends to inventory we can actually sell The attribution layer: UTM discipline, social-to-site tracking, and a defensible answer to "where did this customer come from" What you'll do first Build the measurement foundation — UTM governance and social-to-site attribution, working with our data team. Today we can't trace external content to on-site conversion, and nothing else you do is provable until we can. Turn on Instagram Shopping and product tagging so content has a path to purchase Establish a content calendar with a clear split between evergreen category plays and trend capture Set a baseline and a target for new customer conversion, then move it What we're looking for 4+ years in social, content or creator-led growth, including experience leading or mentoring others You are genuinely native to the platforms. You know what's working on TikTok this month, not last year. You can tell the difference between a trend worth chasing and one that's already over. Proven track record building organic social or creator programs that drove measurable revenue — not follower counts Hands-on affiliate marketing experience: creator commissions, publisher partnerships, TikTok Shop or equivalent Comfort building measurement where none exists — UTM taxonomy, channel attribution, basic cohort analysis Strong taste in product and culture. Much of this job is choosing what to put in front of people.

Partnership instincts:

this only works if it's tightly coupled to merchandising, site operations and CRM Nice to have Experience at a consumer brand or e-commerce company that grew primarily through social and creators rather than paid media Food, beauty, or Asian consumer category experience Japanese or Korean market exposure Reddit or community-led growth experience You don't need deep paid media expertise — that sits with our central performance team. You do need to know enough to brief them well. Why this role is interesting Most social roles report into a brand team and get measured on reach. This one reports into a market P&L and gets measured on customers. You'll have real budget, a team, and a category — Asian food and beauty — that is genuinely having a cultural moment in the US. The demand is there. What's missing is the system that turns attention into customers. That's what you'd build.
