Job Summary

Own end-to-end live selling shows on TikTok Shop, from hosting 2+ hour sessions and storefront operations to brand prep, post-show analysis, and live performance metrics; drive GMV, retention, and audience growth through recurring formats, on-camera presence, and cross-team collaboration.

  • Lead engaging live sessions and real-time storefront management
  • Optimize pitches, segments, and pacing using performance data

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • LIVE SHOW HOSTING - Host live selling sessions on TikTok Shop, 2+ hours at a time, on a consistent weekly schedule, building a show (not a sales pitch) with fast demos, challenges, before-and-afters, audience voting, giveaways, product battles, limited drops, timed offers, and recurring segments that give viewers a reason to stay even when they are not ready to buy
  • LIVE STOREFRONT OPERATIONS - Run the live storefront in real time: pin products, rotate SKUs, launch flash deals, run giveaways, manage offers, create urgency, read comments, handle objections, and transition cleanly between segments
  • BRAND & CONTENT PREPARATION - Learn each brand cold before going live (products, offers, claims you can and cannot make, and brand voice) and adapt the set per brand with product, decor, and backdrop changes
  • Handle pre-show prep and post-show breakdown, including equipment and audio checks before every stream
  • PERFORMANCE ACCOUNTABILITY - Held accountable to live GMV per session and per live hour, conversion rate from viewer to purchaser, watch time, average concurrent viewers, audience retention, and week-over-week performance growth
  • Review performance with our live ops team after each session and refine pitches, segments, and pacing week over week
  • ON-CAMERA SALES ABILITY - Exceptional on-camera presence with high energy and authentic sales ability, and quick thinking to adapt mid-stream when comments, inventory, or offers change
  • COMMUNICATION - Strong communication skills with both audiences and brand teams
  • RELIABILITY - Ridiculously reliable. Brands are not looking for someone who can go live once; they want the face of a repeatable show
