What You’ll Do
Client reporting
- Build and maintain retail client dashboards for TikTok Shop GMV, affiliate performance, sample funnels, content velocity, live shopping, and GMV Max paid media.
- Own the weekly and monthly reporting cadence. Automate what repeats.
- Set benchmarks for each client against its own history, its category, and TikTok Shop overall.
- Turn performance data into a short list of actionable recommendations.
- As SME for halo, clearly communicate results and be able to respond to data questions.
Retail and social halo measurement
- Measure how TikTok Shop and social activity lift sales at brick-and-mortar retail, on Amazon, and on DTC sites.
- Design tests that isolate that lift, such as geo holdouts, matched markets, pre/post analysis, and synthetic controls.
- Compile retailer point-of-sale data, marketplace data, search trends, and TikTok data into one view.
- Build a repeatable halo framework that Third can leverage in pitches, quarterly reviews, and retailer conversations.
- Respond to client measurement frameworks and RFI questions with a clear Third point of view.
Data quality and tooling
- Reconcile TikTok Shop native data against third-party data tools. Document where they disagree and why.
- Keep a clean house set of metric definitions so every team reports the same number the same way.
- Support new business with category sizing and competitive analysis.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience in marketing analytics, retail analytics, media analytics, or commerce insights. Agency experience is a plus.
- Hands-on work experience with retail data. You know POS data, retailer portals, and syndicated sales data.

- Strong SQL and spreadsheet skills. Python or R for analysis.
