The posting

About Palmstreet:

Palmstreet http://palmstreet.app/ is the #1 live shopping platform for rare plants, handmade crafts, collectibles, and unique goods. Founded in 2020 by Instagram and Apple veterans, Palmstreet began as a plant identification app and quickly evolved into a trailblazer in live shopping, beginning with plant sellers. Fueled by a passionate community, we rapidly expanded into new categories. Collectibles, launched in 2025, is one of our fastest-growing categories.

Our vision is to become the "World's Online Main Street," bringing the charm of in-person shopping to engaging, social online experiences. Backed by top Silicon Valley VCs and powered by a nimble, empathetic team, we've grown our GMV by 1500x in the last 3 years.

As we continue shaping the future of social commerce, we're looking for talented individuals who are excited to grow with us and join our mission.

The Opportunity:

Palmstreet is seeking a motivated and entrepreneurial Business Development Manager to help take our Collectibles category to the next level. A year after launch, Collectibles is already our fastest-growing category and is becoming an industry-leading player. We're now looking for a builder who can scale our existing core subcategories (toys, Disney, trading cards) while identifying and launching the next big opportunities.

This is a high-impact opportunity to shape the future of social commerce by acquiring and growing top sellers through strategic outreach, onboarding, coaching, and early-stage relationship building. You'll partner directly with the Head of Collectibles to set category direction, prioritize where we go next, and own the execution that gets us there.

This is a remote role reporting to the Head of Collectibles and working closely with the Palmstreet GTM, Seller Success/Onboarding, and Marketing teams. There is a preference for a Los Angeles-based professional who is willing to travel 25% (trade shows, seller visits, and team off-sites), but open to other locations for the right candidate.

Responsibilities:

This is a full-time role that blends strategic category work with high-output seller engagement and acquisition. Expect to spend your time across the following focus areas:

Category Growth and Seller Recruitment

- Build and execute strategy to scale existing collectibles subcategories

- Recruit and activate high-potential sellers

- Reach out to new leads through outbound emails, social media, calls, and visits

- Develop and deepen relationships with strategic sellers through coaching and tactical support

- Represent Palmstreet at industry events and within collector communities

Category Strategy & Expansion

- Partner with the Head of Collectibles to set strategy across core and emerging subcategories

- Identify and test new category opportunities using a mix of market data, seller signal, and buyer behavior

- Lead GTM activities for promising new subcategories: source initial sellers, create the marketing strategy, set early benchmarks, and decide whether to invest deeper or move on

- Translate learnings into recommendations on category structure, marketing investment, and product needs

- Maintain a clear point of view on competitive positioning across all categories of collectibles

Seller Acquisition & Activation

- Pitch Palmstreet through discovery and closing calls (virtual and in-person) and onboard new sellers from first contact through their debut livestream

- Manage a pipeline of prospective sellers across the collectibles ecosystem, from established category-leaders to emerging sellers with category-building potential

- Balance high-touch onboarding for strategic accounts with scaled support for inbound or early-stage sellers

Revenue & Category Growth Ownership

- Hit clear performance goals:

- GMV growth across your cohort of strategic sellers/subcategories

- Number of new sellers acquired, onboarded, and live

- New buyer growth and retention

- Identify creative ways to source new leads via digital outreach, trade shows, partnerships, and referrals

- Collaborate cross-functionally with marketing, product, and GTM teammates to shape growth strategies and campaign participation

Qualifications:

- 5+ years in business development, partnerships, or sales, preferably in a marketplace or at early- to mid-stage startups

- Strategic mindset with the ability to identify, test, and scale new opportunities, not just execute on a defined playbook

- Proven ability to successfully manage both outbound sales pipelines and strategic accounts

- Experience onboarding and enabling sellers in both high-touch and scalable ways

- Strong organizational and communication skills

- Proficiency in tools like Hubspot or similar CRMs

- Broad interest in or familiarity with collectibles culture (sports cards, TCG, comics, memorabilia, vintage toys, designer toys, video games, or adjacent verticals) is a strong plus

- Smart, hands-on, and high-hustle approach to ambiguous problems

Your Location: Remote - Anywhere in the US, Los Angeles preferred

Travel: Expected travel up to 25% for trade shows, seller visits and team offsites

Compensation:

- Base Salary: $90,000–$140,000, depending on experience level and location

- Commission structure to be discussed

- Equity: Granted after 6 months and reaching key performance milestones

In addition to base salary and commission, the compensation for this role includes:

- Equity Incentive Plan

- Generous health insurance contribution (for you & dependents)

- Dental & vision insurance

- Life insurance

- 12 paid holidays + Paid Time Off (PTO) + Paid Sick Days

- 401(k) plan with company matching

- Remote Work Expense reimbursement

- Work From Home Setup and Learning & Development stipend

- Palmstreet credit

Why Join Us?

- Shape the future of live shopping: Be part of a dynamic team revolutionizing the online shopping experience, combining creativity and technology to create immersive, interactive platforms for sellers and buyers alike.

- Collaborate with industry pioneers: Work alongside a nimble, innovative team, backed by some of the most prestigious VCs in Silicon Valley, with opportunities to influence the product direction.

- Solving complex challenges: You'll take on complex problems that others haven't yet been able to solve, driving innovation and pushing boundaries in your work.

- Thrive in a flat, startup environment: Take full ownership of your projects while working alongside a supportive team that values collaboration and mutual respect.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
