The Role

You'll be the face of ThredUp's live shows - on camera, in our warehouse, surrounded by real inventory. You'll pull pieces, tell the story behind them, and turn viewers into buyers in real time. This isn't a script you read. It's an entertaining show that buyers can shop.

In This Role You'll Get To

• Host live shows on Whatnot and other live selling platforms, sourced directly from ThredUp
• Pull and prep pieces before each show - know the brand, size, condition, and price before you go live
• Show each piece clearly: fabric, fit, flaws, styling ideas
• Run the pace of the show - keep energy up, keep product moving, keep viewers watching
• Answer viewer questions in real time and respond to chat throughout the stream
• Track what sells and flag trends back to the product and merchandising teams - what moved fast, what didn't, what viewers asked for

What We're Looking For

• Comfortable on camera for 2+ hour shifts, sustained energy the whole time
• Preference for background in content creation or performance (live selling on Whatnot or TikTok Shop, theater, dance, improv/comedy, or other on-camera experience)
• Interest in and passion for fashion, secondhand, and sustainability
• Real product knowledge in fashion: brands, fabrics, fit, how to spot quality secondhand pieces
• Quick on your feet: you can handle questions, respond to comments, and keep a show moving
• Comfortable in a warehouse environment: on your feet, handling inventory, moving at a fast pace
• Experience with technology, AI workflows, and data analysis

Compensation

• $25-$30 / hour, plus commission on items sold during your shows
• Performance-based schedule growth: more shows and higher commissions slots as you ramp

Schedule

• Able to commute to ThredUp's Atlanta or Dallas area distribution centers
• Flexible shift structure: shows are scheduled based on peak viewer traffic, with morning, midday, evening, and weekend start times available
• Expect 2-3 shows per week to start, with more added as we ramp the program

This role is structured as an independent contractor engagement with ThredUp Inc. and is not an employee position.
