    About this role

    About Palmstreet:

    Palmstreet 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
