Creator Partnerships & Affiliate Growth Lead

We are the fastest growing and most disruptive business in publishing since Amazon.

Flowerburst starts movements — ideas that burst into life radiantly. Publishing is broken: more than 80 percent of Americans feel they have a book in them, and only about 1 percent ever publish it. After taking 2-3 years to go to market, nine out of ten traditionally published titles fail to turn a profit. Why? There are three middle men between the author and end customer, and there simply isn’t enough margin for any party to invest in marketing.

Success on self-publishing platforms like Amazon KDP is even more elusive – they leave authors marketing blind and without cashflow: Amazon KDP doesn't show authors who their customers are and where they came from, and pay 60+ days after a sale is made. The result is centuries of gatekeeping in which the best ideas rarely reach the people who need them, dying on shelves in the back of bookstores, undiscovered. We are building the company that fixes this: an AI publishing platform fused with social, direct-to-consumer commerce. The AI platform allows anyone, anywhere to compile their idea in book form - helping the author exactly where they need it. Social commerce allows authors to place books in the heart of culture – social media feeds – to get discovered, even by audiences who typically don’t read books. Anyone, anywhere can write a book and get it to the masses. The end goal is a literary revolution.

The flywheel is already turning and validation has been immediate. In under 12 months since prototype launch, we’ve grown to $7.5M ARR (GMV run rate), and we are one of the top book sellers on social commerce platforms like TikTok Shop; we operate our own publishing imprints, and a creator/affiliate program of hundreds of active creators. Over the next quarter, we’re releasing our own titles (we publish at the speed of movements, not years), and within the next year, we’re opening up our platform so any author – regardless of station in life – can put their idea on paper and bring it to people who are eager to hear it.

The team is scrappy, ambitious, fast-moving, and highly entrepreneurial.

We are hiring a Creator Partnerships & Affiliate Growth Lead to own and scale one of the most important parts of Flowerburst’s growth engine: our TikTok Shop affiliate and VIP Special Ops creator program.

This is not ordinary affiliate management.

Flowerburst has access to a large catalog of top-selling books and uses performance data to identify products with viral TikTok Shop potential before the broader market fully catches on. When we find those products, we bring them to selected creators with a compelling offer: higher commissions, product insights, performance analysis, content hooks, sample support, GMV Max support, and a real partnership designed to help them grow their GMV.

The goal is to help creators win. When creators consistently post around the right products, the upside can be substantial for both the creator and Flowerburst.

You will manage relationships with top TikTok Shop affiliates and BookTok creators, convert them into active VIP partners, and help them produce more videos that sell books. You will be responsible for turning creator interest into posting commitments, repeat content, GMV growth, and long-term creator partnerships.

This is a creator-facing growth role for someone who is organized, persuasive, commercially minded, and excited to help build a repeatable creator revenue engine.

You will manage Flowerburst’s VIP creator pipeline from outreach to activation.

This includes identifying promising creators, sending personalized outreach, following up, tracking next steps, coordinating samples, sharing product briefs, asking for posting commitments, monitoring creator activity, and reporting what is working.

You will help build creator launch pods around new book releases and high-potential VIP products. For each campaign, you will help match the right creators with the right products, share content angles, track sample delivery and first posts, and encourage creators to post multiple videos rather than just one.

You will build relationships with creators so they see Flowerburst as one of their best affiliate partners. You will give them useful product insights, help them understand why certain books may resonate with their audiences, and make them feel like part of an insider program.

You will also help build the operating system behind the program: clean tracking, weekly reporting, repeatable follow-up workflows, creator briefs, and simple SOPs.

• Manage a pipeline of TikTok Shop affiliates and BookTok creators
• Invite high-potential creators into Flowerburst’s VIP Special Ops Program
• Send warm, persuasive, personalized outreach and follow-up messages
• Clearly explain the creator opportunity and why selected products may help creators grow GMV
• Track creator status, next steps, samples, posting commitments, and performance
• Coordinate with internal operations on creator samples
• Help creators understand which books to post and what angles may work
• Build and manage creator launch pods for new book releases and VIP products
• Ask creators for specific posting commitments
• Track first post date, number of videos posted, repeat posting, and GMV
• Re-engage creators who have sampled from Flowerburst in the past
• Report weekly on creator pipeline, activity, and performance
• Identify which creators, products, and content angles deserve more investment
• Improve outreach, follow-up, campaign briefs, and creator management workflows

In your first 30 days, you will learn Flowerburst’s products, creator program, and TikTok Shop affiliate workflow. You will understand the VIP Special Ops pitch deeply enough to explain it clearly to creators. You will clean up the creator tracker, follow up with warm creator leads, make sure every creator has a clear status and next action, help launch active creator pods, and establish weekly reporting.

You will also build a repeatable workflow for creator outreach, onboarding, follow-up, and campaign management. You will increase the number of VIP creators actively posting, track sample-to-post and post-to-GMV performance, help creators post multiple videos per campaign, own creator follow-up with minimal founder involvement, and create reusable creator briefs and campaign templates.

In your first 60 days, you will own the VIP creator program day-to-day, manage multiple creator launch pods, improve creator activation and repeat posting rates, and give leadership clear reporting on what is working.

In your first 90 days, you will help turn Flowerburst’s creator program into a predictable launch channel for new books and high-potential VIP products.

• You write excellent English
• You communicate in a tone that is warm, casual, direct, and professional
• You are highly organized and detail-oriented
• You follow up consistently without needing reminders
• You are comfortable managing many conversations at once
• You have experience in creator partnerships, influencer marketing, affiliate marketing, account management, sales development, customer success, ecommerce, or partnerships
• You are comfortable using spreadsheets, Airtable, Notion, HubSpot, or similar tools
• You can work independently and take ownership
• You are comfortable asking people for commitments and following up when they do not deliver
• You can understand performance data and translate it into simple, compelling creator-facing communication
• You are interested in TikTok, creators, social commerce, books, media, or ecommerce

• Experience with TikTok Shop
• Experience with influencer or affiliate programs
• Experience working with U.S.-based creators
• Experience in ecommerce or social commerce
• Experience managing launch campaigns
• Experience creating creator briefs or campaign briefs
• Familiarity with BookTok, publishing, books, or media
• Experience in a fast-moving startup environment
• Experience with Shopify, TikTok Shop Seller Center, affiliate platforms, or creator CRM tools

This is a full-time remote role.

We are equally interested in candidates based in South Africa, LATAM, and the Philippines.

You must be able to communicate with U.S.-based TikTok creators and affiliates during meaningful U.S. business-hour overlap, especially Eastern and Pacific afternoons.

Expected base compensation:

• $2,500–$3,500/month USD
• Up to $4,000/month USD for an exceptional candidate

There is also significant performance bonus potential for measurable GMV growth.

This role has meaningful upside for the right person. If you help Flowerburst activate strong creators, increase repeat posting, and materially grow GMV from managed creator relationships, we want you to share in that success.

The bonus structure will be finalized after baseline performance and attribution are clear, but it will be tied to outcomes such as creator activation, videos posted, repeat posting, and incremental GMV from managed creators.

We are not looking for a generic virtual assistant.

We are looking for someone who feels like a high-performing account manager, creator partnerships operator, or affiliate growth manager. You should be proactive, commercially minded, organized, and excellent in written communication.

The goal is not just to send messages. The goal is to turn creator relationships into videos, repeat posting, GMV, and long-term creator partnerships.

The right person should be excited about the opportunity Flowerburst can offer creators. We are bringing creators data-backed product opportunities, improved economics, performance support, and a real chance to grow their GMV.
