Trade-in Event Coordinator (Sporting Goods) - Wisconsin/Chicago

Your Mission Be the face of SidelineSwap in your region. You'll run pop-up trade-in events at partner retail stores, buy high-quality used gear from athletes and sports families, and manage your own SidelineSwap business account where that gear gets resold. What You'll Do You'll split your time between two things: running weekend trade-in events and managing your online store. On the event side, you'll build relationships with the retail partners hosting your events, evaluate and buy used sports gear using our trade-in software, deliver a great customer experience, and handle the logistics of getting gear photographed and shipped back to our warehouse. Most of your event schedule is planned for you — and as you get comfortable, you'll have opportunities to build your own partnerships and expand your buying beyond events. On the account side, you'll run your own SidelineSwap business unit. That means reviewing performance metrics, managing inventory, responding to customers, and making smart pricing decisions to maximize your sales and monthly bonus.
