You should feel comfortable and confident appearing in videos across Pokémon GO’s official social channels and be excited to help give the brand a relatable, engaging presence.

• Develop campaign, content, and video briefs that clearly communicate creative direction, messaging, format, and cultural relevance
• Monitor trends and emerging digital behaviors, particularly those influencing Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences
• Lead player engagement across official Pokémon GO social channels, building meaningful connections with players and contributing an energetic, authentic brand voice.
• Analyze social performance and player sentiment, using insights to improve content, engagement strategies, and future campaign planning.
• Leverage agentic AI tools to improve daily workflows, identify trends, and elevate reporting
• Independently manage multiple concurrent projects, reprioritizing and switching between assignments as business and cultural opportunities evolve. Operate with a high degree of ownership and minimal management oversight while maintaining strong communication and stakeholder alignment across global teams and asynchronous workflows

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of experience managing social media for a consumer brand
• Expert-level understanding of short-form video, including TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts
• Experience independently creating social video content from concept through execution, and confidence appearing on camera as a regular part of the role
• Excellent copywriting skills, with the ability to develop sharp, playful, timely, and culturally relevant social content. Strong understanding of Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences, emerging behaviors, fandom dynamics, internet culture, and platform ecosystems
• Capable of building and leveraging the latest AI tools to optimize your workflows
• Genuine enthusiasm for engaging directly with online communities and building relationships with fans and players
• A self-starter mentality, with demonstrated ability to manage a full workload and move rapidly between projects, priorities, and deadlines
• Ability to work independently, make sound creative decisions, and deliver high-quality work with minimal oversight
• Experience working with licensors or multiple brand stakeholders through creative review and approval processes
• Strong English language skills are required for this role as we have a highly diverse and global business
