- Help grow the UGC program by developing systems and processes for growth associates to identify and onboard influencers for partnership ads and organic social
You will own one of the most critical functions at exactly the right moment in the company's growth trajectory, with a genuine shot at defining the platform in gamified TCG and sports commerce.
REQUIREMENTS:
- 5–10 years of experience in creative strategy, paid marketing, or similar roles at consumer products or high-growth startups
- Excel in ambiguous, fast-paced environments with a strong bias toward action
- At least some familiarity or interest in TCGs (Pokemon, One Piece), sports cards, collectibles, or gaming
- Have worked with marketing teams with annual budgets of $1M+ or collaborated on multiple pieces of content that produced 100K+ views
- Created ads and social content across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Snapchat, Reddit, and understand deep platform nuances
- Results-oriented with fluent use of analytics to guide decision-making
- Some experience working with UGC creators and/or building out a successful UGC program
- Excellent written communication skills
- Scrappy mindset and willingness to do whatever it takes
NICE TO HAVE:
- AI-native: have created AI workflows to streamline work
