Seller Live Project Intern (TikTok Shop - Operations) - 2026 Start (BS/MS)

TikTok is reshaping the current retail path to purchase and transforming how brands connect with their communities to drive shopping moments through an infinite loop of discovery, consideration, purchase, review, and participation.

TikTok Shop Live serves as a central hub where users can easily discover promotions (campaigns & flash sales), access a wider product assortment from across our TikTok Shop merchants recommended through shoppable content (in-feed video, product showcase, and LIVEs), as well as manage their orders all natively within one tab.
