The Role
You will own everything e-commerce for all Kimtan Labs brands: GMV delivery, platform partnerships, campaign strategy, promotional execution, assortment optimization, demand planning, storefront operations, and shop health. You will operate across TikTok Shop, Shopee, and Lazada in the Philippines and Singapore, with scope to expand into additional marketplaces and regions including Sephora and other global platforms.

What You'll Do
Commercial & Partnerships
- Deliver e-commerce GMV targets across all brands, platforms, and markets.
- Own platform KAM relationships: secure campaign slots, co-funded promos, brand days, traffic support, and early access to platform features.
- Own the full e-commerce commercial calendar: mega sales, flash sales, payday sales, seasonal activations, and equally the BAU rhythm that drives consistent daily GMV between campaign peaks.
- Lead promotional strategy: voucher mechanics, discount depth, free shipping thresholds, bundle pricing, flash sale selection, and platform promo enrollment.

- Coordinate with marketing on creative assets and campaign narratives across all platforms.
Demand Planning & Availability
- Maintain on-line availability (OLA) at 95% or above across all platforms at all times.
- Own the demand signal for e-commerce: forecast replenishment needs based on sell-through velocity, campaign spikes, and seasonal patterns.
- Trigger replenishment at the right reorder points and coordinate with supply chain to prevent stock-outs before they happen.
- Monitor stock levels across all platform warehouses and fulfillment channels: flag low stock, oversupply, or allocation issues.
Storefront Operations
- Manage all product listings and the e-commerce database: SKUs live, accurate, correctly priced, brand-compliant.
- Maintain platform compliance and shop health across all platforms: response rates, shipping performance, violation-free status.

What We're Looking For
- 3 to 6 years of experience in e-commerce management, marketplace operations, or digital commerce: ideally within beauty, personal care, or FMCG.
- Hands-on experience managing seller accounts on TikTok Shop, Shopee, and/or Lazada: you've run storefronts, not just observed them.

- Proven experience managing platform KAM relationships: you've negotiated deals, secured campaign slots, and leveraged platform partnerships for commercial advantage.
- Experience with campaign planning and promotional strategy across multiple platforms simultaneously.
- Understanding of demand planning fundamentals: sell-through analysis, reorder points, and supply chain coordination.
- Data-literate: comfortable with platform analytics, can extract insights and turn them into action.

- Experience with cross-border e-commerce or multi-market operations is a strong plus.

- Campaign execution is tight: promotions go live on time, mechanics are correct, and post-campaign analysis surfaces clear insights.

- By Month 6, you are running e-commerce with a point of view: recommending where to invest, which relationships to deepen, which new markets to enter.
