About The Position

The Business Development Manager is focused exclusively on growing the pipeline and securing new customers for the StockX Live platform. You will be the tip of the spear for supply growth across our focus categories. You own the pipeline of sellers and creators who will bring inventory, energy, and community credibility to the platform. This is a ground-floor role on a launch-stage product — the kind where your first 90 days of work will be referenced in the playbook for years to come. This is a hunter role centered on prospecting, outreach, presenting solutions, and closing new business across primarily Live and Listings product lines.

Requirements

3-6 years, proven track record in Account management, B2B business development, sales, or a relationship-focused role.
Familiarity with collectibles/TCG culture specifically Sports Cards or Pokemon required.
Familiarity with the Live shopping experience and landscape.
Strong prospecting and outreach skills with the ability to open new conversations.
Confident presenting solutions and negotiating to close.
Disciplined CRM and pipeline management habits.
Excellent communication and collaboration skills, especially in handing off to internal teams.

Nice To Haves

Existing seller network within a focus category (e.g., Live Sellers, TCG breakers, Sneaker Resellers, collectibles shops)
Personal experience selling on a live commerce platform.
Experience at a startup or 0-to-1 product — you know the difference between building a process and following one.
Comfort with CRM tools, sales pipelines, analytics dashboards, and seller performance metrics.
Marketplace experience across both supply and demand sides.
