Livestream Operator

About the role

We're so happy you're here! Thank you for checking our job out and we hope to have the chance to meet you in our interview process!

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: This role starts part-time at ~20 hours/week, with the potential to grow to full-time as the studio scales.
• Employment type: Hourly W2
• Pay: $35/hr + commission

In this role, you will

• 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

We're looking for someone who

• Has experience in production - whether on a film or TV set, in a studio environment, or in a technical live event capacity
• Is comfortable operating production equipment and platforms without hand-holding
• Has worked closely with on-camera talent and knows how to create an environment where they can do their best work
• Has experience with live streaming platforms (TikTok Live, YouTube Live, OBS, or similar) - or picks up new tools fast
• Is highly reliable - this is a shift-based role and showing up prepared, on time, and ready to execute is non-negotiable

Approach to the role

• You anticipate problems before they happen and fix them before anyone else notices
• You're calm under pressure - when something goes sideways mid-stream, you handle it without making it a moment
• You take ownership of your environment. The studio, the stream, the chat - it's all yours to manage
• You're a team player who genuinely cares about making the hosts successful, even if you're mostly working behind the scenes
• You're consistent and accountable. Every shift, same standard.

To Apply

What we care about
