General Sales Manager — Live Commerce (TikTok & Whatnot)

Location: Vancouver, WA (Onsite) | Type: Full‑time

Why this role matters

We’re a fast‑growing company building a best‑in‑class live commerce operation. Our live stream hosts are the front line—your mission is to lead them. As General Sales Manager, you’ll own scheduling, product flow, production coordination, and team performance across TikTok and Whatnot. This is a high‑visibility, high‑impact role designed for a natural leader who can motivate people, drive revenue, and scale process. If you’re growth‑minded, this is a clear path to senior management as we continue to expand.

What You’ll Lead

• People & Performance
• Recruit, onboard, schedule, and coach a team of live hosts and support staff.
• Set clear goals, KPI dashboards, and review cadences; deliver regular 1:1s and performance plans.
• Create playbooks, training libraries, and SOPs that raise the bar on every show.
• Live Show Operations
• Own end‑to‑end production flow: run‑of‑show, product sequencing, pricing/promo strategy, and post‑show recap.
• Ensure coverage and continuity with dynamic scheduling across weekdays, evenings, and weekends.
• Partner with production to maintain quality standards (audio, video, lighting), moderation, and platform compliance.
• Merchandising & Inventory
• Align with sourcing/warehouse on product pipeline, availability, and sell‑through targets.
• Curate show lineups to maximize AOV, conversion, and repeat viewership.
• Revenue & Growth
• Build and execute a weekly and monthly sales plan tied to quotas and GMV goals.
• Optimize funnel metrics (CTR, watch time, chat engagement, conversion, return rate) via A/B tests on hooks, thumbnails, scripts, and offers.
• Develop promotions, drops, and event programming that grow viewership and sales.
• Cross‑Functional Leadership
• Coordinate with Marketing (traffic, promos), Operations (fulfillment SLAs), Finance (forecasting), and CX (post‑purchase).
• Represent the live commerce function in leadership meetings; surface insights and influence roadmaps.
• Forecasting, Reporting & Controls
• Produce accurate forecasts and pipeline views; manage month‑end close for live commerce revenue.
• Maintain process controls for pricing, discounts, and creator incentives.

Objectives of this role

• Represent the brand with deep knowledge of our products and audience.
• Hire, train, motivate, and—when necessary—upgrade the team to maintain high standards.
• Hit company targets by planning thoroughly, setting goals, analyzing performance data, and forecasting.
