About the Role

This role will establish Whatnot as the leader in live stream production, raising the quality of top sellers’ streams and powering productions at in-person events and brand activations. You will be the go-to authority on OBS and pro streaming setups for sellers, field teams, and engineers. The program is new and already moving the numbers – you’ll take it from scrappy to scaled.

Responsibilities

  • Run and grow the white-glove studio build-out program for top sellers, including curating and sourcing gear kits, managing warehouse and shipping, leading setup sessions, and providing ongoing support.
  • Design and run live production for conventions and major promotional streams, managing all aspects from equipment to on-site displays and AV.
  • Evolve scaled production education across Seller Academy, Help Center, YouTube, and in-app to enable sellers to level up their setups.
  • Serve as an in-house subject matter expert for EPD teams building seller production tools and evangelize to the field team to multiply in-house knowledge.
  • Define success metrics and track how production enablement affects seller performance, using data to inform future investments.
  • Build the operating model for production enablement, including managing a bench of freelance or contract production talent.

Requirements

  • Must live within commuting distance of our San Francisco, CA, Los Angeles, CA, or New York, NY hub.
  • Must live within commuting distance of our Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle, and San Francisco hubs.
  • 4+ years of professional experience and deep, hands-on live production experience.
  • Expert-level live streaming skills, including proficiency in OBS (or similar technologies) and fluency across cameras, capture, audio, lighting, encoding, and networking.
  • Ability to coach and troubleshoot technical issues effectively.
  • Strong operator instincts for managing gear, shipping, schedules, and stakeholders.
  • Willingness to travel often, typically 1–3 trips a month, including multi-day conventions, some weekends, and occasional international trips.
  • All Whatnauts are expected to use Whatnot as both a buyer and a seller.
