Talent Acquisition Manager

About Zeroto1

Zeroto1 is the "go to" social commerce agency of record that drives revenue for category leading and disruptive companies through TikTok Shop management and influencer-affiliate communities.

What makes Zeroto1 different? Our founders, Riley and Micah, successfully built the performance creative and influencer strategies to scale Shipt to a $550M exit in under 4 years. Their experience of not finding the right agency partner built to scale with them led them to create the agency they wish they had—a long-term growth partner committed to results that overdelivers and is a good steward of company resources.
