About Big Easy Blends

Big Easy Blends is a New Orleans–based beverage manufacturer producing frozen and ready-to-drink pouch beverages across a portfolio of beloved licensed and proprietary brands — including ICEE, SLUSH PUPPiE, Welch's Smoothies, SpongeBob Smoothies, WITHOUT Mocktails, Mila's Soft Ice, Blendology, and Tampico. We sell across mass, club, dollar, grocery, K-12, and foodservice channels, and we're expanding into direct-to-consumer and social commerce. Live shopping is a core part of that next chapter.

THE ROLE

We're looking for a hands-on live shopping pro who knows the live commerce landscape cold and can build and run our live selling program. This is equal parts strategist and operator: you'll design the plan and be on camera, behind the scenes, and in the data. If you understand what makes a TikTok Shop LIVE convert, how to staff and script a multi-hour selling session, and how to turn a fun, on-brand stream into repeatable revenue, we want to talk to you.

This is a flexible engagement. Whether you're looking for a full-time role, a part-time gig alongside other work, an independent contract, or hourly host/operator work, we're open to structuring it around what fits — and every structure includes commission on the sales you drive through the live shop, so strong performers are rewarded directly for the revenue they generate.

Note: This role is on camera. Comfort hosting live, and/or a strong eye for directing hosts and creators, is essential.

What You'll Do

Scope flexes with the engagement — a full-time lead may own all of the below, while a part-time or contract host focuses on the live sessions themselves. We'll right-size it together.

Own the live shopping strategy across relevant platforms (TikTok Shop LIVE, Amazon Live, Whatnot, Instagram/Facebook Live, YouTube, and emerging channels), matched to the right brands and audiences.
Build the end-to-end playbook: show formats, run-of-show scripting, promotional calendar, offer and bundle design, and post-stream follow-up.
Plan, produce, and host or co-host live sessions — including booking talent/creators, coordinating product, and managing the live set.
Recruit, brief, and manage a roster of creators, affiliates, and hosts; build an affiliate/commission program that scales.
Coordinate cross-functionally with sales, supply chain, and operations to ensure inventory, fulfillment, and promo pricing are ready for each event.
Set up and manage the commerce backend: product catalogs, storefronts, promo codes, and platform compliance.
Define and report on KPIs — viewers, watch time, conversion rate, AOV, GMV, return rate, and customer acquisition cost — and iterate based on what the data shows.
Manage the live shopping budget and report ROI in board-ready terms.
Stay ahead of platform changes, trends, and competitor activity in social and live commerce.

What You Bring

Comfort on camera and/or a strong eye for casting and directing hosts and creators.
Experience in social commerce, live shopping, influencer/affiliate marketing, e-commerce, or digital marketing, with demonstrable live selling results. (We're more interested in what you've sold on a live stream than years on a resume.)
Deep, current fluency with at least one major live shopping platform (TikTok Shop strongly preferred) and a working grasp of the broader ecosystem.
Track record of turning live content into measurable sales — you can speak to conversion rates, GMV, and AOV from work you've actually run.
Strong project management — you can run a content calendar, a production schedule, and a creator roster at the same time.
Analytical fluency: comfortable in platform dashboards and spreadsheets, and able to translate metrics into decisions.
Self-starter energy suited to a fast-moving manufacturer building this capability from the ground up.

NICE TO HAVE

Experience selling CPG, food & beverage, or licensed/character brands.
Existing relationships with creators, MCNs, or live shopping agencies.
Basic video production and editing skills.
Familiarity with Shopify, Amazon Seller Central, or comparable commerce platforms.
Bilingual (English/Spanish) for broader audience reach.

LOGISTICS

New Orleans, LA preferred for on-site production and product coordination, but we'll consider remote or hybrid for the right person, especially for a contract or hourly arrangement.
Schedule is flexible and built around the live event calendar — expect some evening/weekend sessions.
Occasional travel may come up for shoots, events, or creator partnerships.

Compensation

We're flexible on structure and want to find the arrangement that works for you:

Full-time or part-time: competitive base salary (scaled to scope and hours) plus commission on live shop sales.
Contract or hourly: an hourly or per-session rate plus commission on live shop sales.
Commission is paid on revenue generated through the live shop, so the more you sell, the more you earn — uncapped upside for strong performers.
Benefits available for full-time engagement.

How To Apply

Tell us the engagement that fits you (full-time, part-time, contract, or hourly), send a resume, and — if you have one — links to live shopping sessions or campaigns you've run, with the results you drove.
