- Creative mindset with the ability to turn ideas into engaging, shareable videos.
- Strong communication skills and ability to work in a collaborative, remote environment.
- Experience with social media management and community engagement for personal or company socials.
- Bonus Points: Experience running your own TikTok account, a love of gaming, or previous experience working with VR content.
What You’ll Do
- Design and post short-form video content for social campaigns on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube Reels using in-game recorded footage.
- Brainstorm and create engaging and humorous content for our upcoming social VR game.
- Engage and manage Discord game community with 10K+ members.
- Respond to DMs and comments to engage with our online community on social and Discord.
- Source and highlight user-generated content from our player community for weekly social media campaigns.
- Research industry trends to test various content strategies.
Benefits
