We're not looking for someone who simply knows how to press "Go LIVE."
We need someone who understands LIVE commerce and knows how to actively manage the selling environment.
A successful operator will be able to look at a LIVE and immediately understand:
What's selling > What's not selling > What needs to be pinned > What promotion should be pushed > What the host should focus on > What's happening with inventory > Where we're losing customers > How we can increase GMV.
You should be proactive, analytical, quick on your feet, and comfortable making decisions in real time.
Most importantly, you should be focused on one goal:
Making every LIVE better than the last one.
