About RYSE

RYSE (helloryse.com) designs smart home products and automated window covering technology that make homes simpler and smarter to live in. We're growing our live commerce presence on TikTok and looking for engaging, on-camera hosts to bring our products to life for viewers in real time, as well as film TikTok's, Instagram Reels, and Short/Long form content for the company.

About the Role

We're building a small rotating team of TikTok Live Hosts and actors to run daily live shopping streams from our studio, and film social media content. Hosts will demonstrate RYSE products, answer viewer questions in real time, and drive engagement and sales during each session.

We're starting with paid, in-studio tryout sessions to find the right hosts, then settling into an ongoing rotation (currently targeting two hosts alternating days) so RYSE goes live every day.

• Act in social media content including TikToks, Instagram Reels, YouTube

• Prior experience in acting, live streaming, hosting, or on-camera presenting (social media content, TikTok Live, QVC-style commerce, or similar preferred)
• Comfortable speaking on camera for extended periods with high energy
• Strong communication skills and quick thinking to handle live audience questions
• Interest in home tech, smart home, or DIY products is a plus
• Reliable and punctual; able to commit to a consistent rotating schedule
