+ Lead pre-live preparation: product sequencing, key selling points, promos/vouchers, studio/tech readiness, and contingency planning.

+ Ensure host availability and back-up coverage; maintain a reliable bench of vetted talent.
4) Team Leadership & Cross-Functional Coordination
+ Lead the team with clear goals, coaching, and accountability
+ Establish a cadence of weekly planning, rehearsal, live execution, and performance review.
+ Maintain documentation and SOPs so delivery remains strong even during staff changes or client surges.
+ Hire, onboard, and upskill team members as the service grows
5) Creator/Affiliate Support (nice to have, but valuable)

+ Support affiliate recruitment planning: creator tiers, outreach messaging, onboarding packs, activation cadence)
Requirement:

+ Strong showrunning/producing instincts: you can plan, direct, and troubleshoot in real time.
+ Experience managing talent (hosts/creators) or vendors/freelancers; comfortable giving clear performance feedback.

Nice to Have
+ Hands-on familiarity with major livestream commerce platforms (for example: TikTok Shop, Shopee Live, Lazada Live) or similar.

Working Style & Expectations
+ Highly organised and calm under pressure; able to make fast decisions during live sessions.
+ Clear communicator who can align clients, hosts, and internal operators quickly.
