About this role
About the Team The LATAM TV & Film Operations team is part of TikTok's Content Operations organization. We partner with major studios, entertainment publishers, creators, and KOLs to drive high-quality content growth and scale on TikTok. Our focus spans creator management, education & product adoption, publisher integration, and major tentpole events — all designed to strengthen a diverse ecosystem that connects users to their favorite IPs.
Key Responsibilities We are looking for a Program Manager contractor, who will be responsible for conducting programs and projects in the TV & Film vertical to foster the LATAM ecosystem. This includes strategy development, planning, execution, measurement, and optimization of various program types. These responsibilities fall into two core areas: - Program Management: the planning and execution of programs, cross-functional coordination and measurement. - In-App Strategy, which includes the strategic use of promotional levers to maximize the program impact within the platform.
Program Management: - Lead the planning of programs in LATAM to ensure alignment with key objectives, proper resource allocation, and adherence to playbook standards. - Drive the execution of programs to ensure they are delivered on time, within budget, and meet the expected quality benchmarks. - Represent local and regional priorities in global forums, while ensuring the smooth rollout and localized implementation of global programs across the region. - Collaborate with Creator and Publisher managers to ensure programs address partner needs and Ops priorities, while proactively identifying and proposing strategic opportunities. - Coordinate with XFN teams such as Finance, Procurement, Legal, MKT, GBS, and Comms to ensure budget tracking, execution of all administrative processes, and compliance with financial and legal requirements. - Negotiation and management of external suppliers (agencies) – not including publishers or creators – to execute programs and events, ensuring alignment on deliverables, timelines, and quality standards. - Provide local market insights - to both Central and local teams - to inform strategic decisions regarding partnership engagement and product adoption. - Measure program performance, make adjustments to ensure impact, and deliver recaps and learnings to influence future projects. - Ensure proper report and knowledge sharing to support scalability and the replication of best practices across the region.
In-App Strategy: - Plan, develop, and implement promotional levers such as push notifications, internal ads, H5s, AOC pages, banners, and search hubs, ensuring operational efficiency and alignment with program goals. - Support central and regional initiatives through localized in-app activations (e.g.: Oscars, Spotlight). - Monitor and report on key in-app KPIs, assessing the performance and effectiveness of each lever to guide continuous optimization. - Maintain accurate trackers and reporting to support knowledge sharing and the replication of best practices in the use of in-app levers across the region.
