Job Description

Gamer's Choice is a dynamic and passionate community and retail hub for Trading Card Game (TCG) enthusiasts, creators, and innovators, headquartered in Queens, New York. Initially launching as a small local shop, Gamer's Choice has blossomed into a premier destination preferred by TCG players and collectors worldwide. With its roots deeply entrenched in Yu-Gi-Oh! trading cards, the company is rapidly expanding its portfolio by embracing exciting new titles such as Pokémon, One Piece, Riftbound, and Disney Lorcana. This evolution represents the company's commitment to growing and diversifying its gaming repertoire, ensuring its place as a key player in the TCG market while fostering a vibrant community culture centered on gaming.

Located in Long Island City, the company’s flagship store acts as both a physical and cultural heart for the community — a place where players of all skill levels gather to compete, celebrate, and connect. Beyond serving as a retail space, the venue regularly hosts tournaments, events, and community gatherings, reinforcing Gamer's Choice's role as not only a sales hub but also a vibrant social and competitive space for fans. The company prides itself on creating both an engaging online experience through live-streamed sales and fostering an atmosphere where the community's enthusiasm for games flourishes in person.

The role of an overnight livestream host at Gamer's Choice is an exciting opportunity for energetic individuals passionate about gaming and community building. This full-time role involves streaming on the Whatnot platform, where hosts will showcase collectible TCG products to an engaged live audience. The job blends the art of on-camera performance with sales execution, inventory preparation, and technical stream management. Success in this position requires a charismatic and confident on-screen presence capable of driving viewer engagement and converting interest into sales.

Specifically, hosts are responsible for running high-energy live selling shows nearly 24 hours a day, on varied schedules to meet operational demands. They must prepare products and technical setups before each stream to ensure seamless broadcast quality and product presentation. On the sales side, this involves using compelling sales techniques to highlight product features, create urgency around exclusive or limited-time items, and encourage bidding and purchase actions in real time. The host is also tasked with fostering an interactive community atmosphere by engaging viewers through chat, shout-outs, calls to action, and simple interactive games, all while maintaining flow and energy.

Additionally, the role requires logistical duties such as managing inventory before and after shows, packaging sold items accurately for shipping, and tracking sales and viewer metrics to inform future streaming strategies. Familiarity with Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets is necessary for handling data entry and reporting. This position also involves physical activity, including moving inventory boxes weighing up to 50 pounds.

Compensation ranges from $20 to $35 per hour based on experience, reflecting the importance of both performance and operational competence. The company offers a full suite of benefits including health insurance, dental and vision coverage, paid time off, a 401(k) plan, employee discounts, and gym membership reimbursements. Gamer's Choice emphasizes inclusivity and equal opportunity employment, seeking team members who share their values of diversity, community, and respect.

Working at Gamer's Choice, you will be joining a vibrant and fast-paced environment that values creativity and teamwork. The company is committed to supporting your growth, providing you with opportunities to develop expertise in streaming, sales, and community engagement within a uniquely passionate gaming niche. The overnight livestream host role is ideal for individuals with a deep interest in trading card games and live sales presentation who thrive in a dynamic, community-focused atmosphere.
