Zusammenfassung

ThredUp is seeking a Pricing & Authentication Specialist II to authenticate high-value items, own complex calls, and safeguard the marketplace. You will lead data-driven decisions, build and maintain the authentication knowledge base, and influence pricing and anti-counterfeit policy.

This on-site role at our DC emphasizes rigorous standards and independent leadership of product quality. You will work across brands to analyze trends, drive improvements, and coach others.

Qualifikationen

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on authentication experience, including high-value or luxury product across multiple categories.
• Deep, provable authentication expertise with the judgment to own complex or ambiguous calls independently.
• Extensive knowledge of brands, fashion trends, garment construction, and quality standards.

Aufgaben

• Authenticate and protect the marketplace: own end-to-end decisions across every risk tier without secondary review, scaling research depth to complexity; meet or beat accuracy goals measured against audits and post-sale returns; catch replication trends early; back every rejection with evidence.
• Build the knowledge base: own and grow the authentication database the team relies on as its reference guide.
• Own the hard calls: serve as the escalation point for PAS 1s, coordinators, and system-flagged edge cases.
• Work the data: treat accuracy, error rates, and audit results as data, not anecdotes; analyze counterfeit and pricing risk across brands and categories to predict emerging trends in the industry; build the reporting that makes the team's accuracy visible and defensible.
• Partner on pricing accuracy: keep pricing tables current across a broad range of retailers; understand and implement pricing for product that does not follow the same pricing rules as the core marketplace; partner and provide insights when trends arise.
• Coach and train: onboard and develop PAS 1s and coordinators; build and deliver training in person; when accuracy slips, find the root cause and fix it.
• Drive projects and policy: run projects beyond the daily queue with real deliverables; write SOPs where none exist; help propose, pressure-test, and operationalize anti-counterfeit policy.
• Champion Artificial Intelligence & Emerging Technologies: try new tools first and get the floor using them well; act as the human ground truth that trains and corrects them; help redraw this role as automation takes on more.
