Job description

About the Role

Grüns is building a live commerce studio from the ground up, and the Livestream Operator is the person who makes every stream run without a hitch. This is a technical and production role — you'll own the back end of every broadcast, keep talent supported and on track, and ensure the viewer experience is seamless from start to finish. If you're a self‑starter who thrives in a fast‑paced production environment and knows how to keep things moving without being told twice, this is your role.

• Location: On-site, Culver City, CA (in‑studio)
• Schedule: Part‑time (~20 hours/week), with potential to grow to full‑time as the studio scales.
• Employment type: Hourly W2
• Pay: $35/hr + commission

Responsibilities

• Manage the technical side of each live stream — equipment setup, stream configuration, and real‑time troubleshooting.
• Run back‑end platform functions during broadcasts, including flash sales, giveaways, and other live commerce features.
• Moderate the live chat — keeping it on‑brand, engaging, and free of distractions.
• Support talent throughout every stream — coordinating logistics so hosts can stay focused on performing.
• Make occasional on‑camera appearances as needed in a supporting capacity.
• Film short‑form content to supplement live streams and contribute to brainstorming and ideation for social content.

Qualifications

• Experience in production — film, TV, studio environment, or technical live‑event capacity.
• Comfortable operating production equipment and platforms independently.
• Experience working closely with on‑camera talent and creating an environment for their best performance.
• Experience with live‑streaming platforms (TikTok Live, YouTube Live, OBS, or similar) — or ability to learn new tools quickly.
• Highly reliable — punctual, prepared, and ready to execute on shift‑based roles.

Approach to the Role

• Anticipate problems before they happen and fix them before anyone else notices.
• Remain calm under pressure and handle mid‑stream issues without disrupting the flow.
• Take ownership of the studio, stream, and chat environment.
• Collaborate and care about hosts’ success even when working behind the scenes.
• Show consistency and accountability — maintain the same standard every shift.

Compensation & Perks

Competitive hourly rate of $35/hr plus commission. Additional perks include generous PTO, free Grüns subscriptions, and wellness benefits for you and your family.
