The Role

ThredUp is turning secondhand browsing into a live, shoppable experience - buyers don't scroll a feed, they watch a real person pull real inventory in real time. We're building ThredUp Live, and we need a strategist, producer, and coach to build it from the ground up. As strategist, you'll decide which hosts we sign, what inventory goes into a show, and where we place our next bet. As producer, you'll ensure every show has the right pieces, pricing, and pace to convert. As coach, you'll turn each show's results into the next one's improvement. This is a rare opportunity to build a new business line from zero to one: the kind of entrepreneurial, high-ownership role where you help define the future of secondhand fashion.

In This Role You'll Get To

• Design and execute strategies for a zero-to-one live selling channel

• Serve as the primary point of contact for live sellers, managing end-to-end live planning, day-to-day communication, execution, and ongoing performance coaching to elevate live outcomes

• Analyze live selling performance metrics and deliver data-driven, actionable insights to optimize content strategy, inventory merchandising, and conversion

• Act as the main point for live sellers, overseeing live planning, production, and communication

• Identify growth opportunities within seller portfolios to enhance live commerce.

• Stay updated on live trends, collaborating with teams to align promotions with broader initiatives

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's Degree or equivalent with 3+ years in ecommerce, social media, influencers/UGC partnerships, social media, or live streaming platforms

• Proven business development and sales track record in live-streaming or influencer marketing

• Excellent communication skills; you can pitch prospective hosts and present results to senior leadership with clarity and conviction

• Experience working in ambiguity, achieving results in a fast-paced environment, and continually adapting to changing business needs

• Strong analytical skills: own performance metrics, build reporting, and translate data into a clear point of view

• Comfortable in a warehouse environment: on your feet, handling inventory, moving at a fast pace

• Interest in fashion tech, secondhand fashion, and sustainability strongly preferred
