The Role You'll be the face of ThredUp's Whatnot live shows, selling secondhand fashion and representing the ThredUp brand on camera from inside our distribution center, surrounded by real inventory. You'll pull pieces, bring their stories to life, and turn viewers into buyers in real time. This isn't a script you read. It's an entertaining, interactive show where customers can discover and shop ThredUp's unique inventory. In This Role You'll Get To Host live shows on Whatnot and other live selling platforms, sourced and selected directly by ThredUp. Pull and prepare pieces before each show; know the brand, size, condition, and price before the live show. 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.

• 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

Compensation will consist of an hourly rate, plus a 2% commission on the net sales of items sold during live shows. For example, if a 2-hour live show drives $5,000 in sales, the host earns 2% commission ($100 or an extra $50 per hour). Performance-based schedule growth: more shows and higher commissions slots as you ramp.
