Job Description

The Livestream Operations Specialist is a core member of our livestream team, responsible for the hands-on execution of live sessions, performance tracking, and day-to-day platform operations across our sales channels.

We operate on a team schedule. Our livestream windows are primarily concentrated in the mornings, evenings, and on weekends — this is when our audience is most active, and when the work happens. Shifts are assigned on a rotating basis, and the team is structured to ensure everyone has regular time off each week. During peak shopping seasons — including Halloween, Thanksgiving, and the holiday period — the pace intensifies and the team operates at full capacity.

This is a fast-moving environment that rewards people who are adaptable, sharp, and genuinely excited about the space. This is an entry-to-mid level position, and recent graduates are encouraged to apply. Strong performers have a clear pathway toward a Livestream Team Leader role.

Key Responsibilities

1. Livestream Execution & On-Air Operations (Core Focus)

· Take the lead in running live sessions — controlling show pacing, managing product flow, directing the host in real time, and adjusting engagement strategies based on live audience behavior and sales performance.

· Evaluate and confirm that all product listings, pricing, and inventory details are accurately prepared before each broadcast.

· Coordinate with warehouse and inbound teams ahead of each show to ensure product readiness.

· Manage morning, evening, and weekend sessions with a high degree of independence, exercising professional judgment to keep each broadcast on track and performing well.

· Contribute to campaign planning and align livestream themes with seasonal marketing and sales goals.

2. Scheduling & Platform Operations

· Develop and manage weekly and monthly livestream schedules, coordinating across product arrivals, warehouse capacity, and marketing campaigns.

· Manage platform backends across Whatnot, TikTok, and Shopify — including listings, tagging, pricing, and cross-platform synchronization.

· Proactively identify and resolve platform-level issues to ensure smooth broadcast execution.

3. Performance Tracking & Data Analysis

· Monitor and record key performance metrics during each broadcast, including concurrent viewer counts, engagement trends, conversion inflection points, and GMV per hour.

· Collect and organize weekly data from platform backends and compile post-stream performance reports using company templates.

· Analyze trends across sessions to identify patterns and propose improvements to scheduling, product sequencing, and operational approach.

· Present findings clearly to the Team Leader to support planning and decision-making.

4. Cross-Team Coordination

· Serve as the operational link between the host, warehouse, and marketing teams, ensuring alignment before and after each broadcast.

· Communicate proactively and take initiative to resolve time-sensitive issues as they arise.

· Participate in team meetings, contribute performance updates, and follow through on action items.

Note: The specific dimensions and responsibilities of this role may be adjusted in the future based on changes in actual work requirements and business needs.

Job Requirements

· Bachelor's degree or equivalent in Business, Marketing, Operations, Data Analytics, or a related field. Recent graduates are encouraged to apply.

· Strong sense of ownership and the ability to exercise sound judgment in a fast-paced, live environment.

· Comfortable working independently and managing priorities without constant supervision.

· Basic data literacy — ability to read performance metrics and translate observations into actionable recommendations.

· Proficiency in Excel or Google Sheets is required.

· Familiarity with AI productivity tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot) is highly preferred.

· Experience with SQL, Tableau, Power BI, or similar tools is a plus — training will be provided.

· Clear communication skills and the ability to collaborate with hosts and cross-functional teams.

· Must be available and willing to work mornings, evenings, and weekends in accordance with the team livestream schedule.

· A genuine interest in e-commerce, livestream retail, or digital operations is a strong plus.

Compensation & Benefits

· Starting monthly salary: USD $4,000 (during probationary period); increasing to USD $4,500 upon successful completion of probation.

· Clear career growth pathway toward a Livestream Team Leader role for strong performers.

· Potential H1B sponsorship for exceptional candidates.

· Hands-on exposure to cutting-edge livestream e-commerce operations.

· Collaborative, energetic, and fast-growing team culture.
