Key Data Overview: In 2026, the e-commerce industry as a whole will see a salary structure characterized by “higher pay for cross-border roles than domestic ones, pronounced premium for senior operations professionals, and acute shortages of AI–savvy, multi-skilled talent.” The average monthly salary for core positions across the industry is RMB 16,800, up 6%–9% year on year. Specifically, the average monthly salary for core domestic e-commerce roles is RMB 14,200, while that for core cross-border e-commerce roles is RMB 21,500; cross-border e-commerce roles such as senior operations, minority-language operations, and data operations command particularly high salary premiums. The overall talent supply–demand ratio in the industry stands at 2.1:1, with even tighter ratios—down to 0.9:1—for niche cross-border e-commerce operations, TikTok operations, and e-commerce AI campaign managers. Professionals with 3–5+ years of hands-on campaign management experience enjoy strong bargaining power over compensation, and those with integrated capabilities in omni-channel operations, traffic acquisition, and data analytics command premium salaries exceeding 30%.
