Job description

VeeFriends is a modern entertainment and consumer products company built around characters, storytelling, collectibles, community, and culture. Spanning physical and digital collectibles, publishing, licensing, live experiences, commerce, and emerging consumer products, VeeFriends operates as a vertically integrated brand with a rapidly expanding ecosystem of products, partners, and channels.

As we continue to scale, operational excellence and cross-functional coordination are critical to ensuring our brand, product, creative, and commercial initiatives are planned, tracked, communicated, and executed at a high level

THE OPPORTUNITY

VeeFriends is looking for an exceptionally creative social media content creator who loves making things people want to watch, read and share.

You’ll turn our characters, comics and collectibles into original content, develop new series and help grow our audience. There’s room to bring your own ideas, experiment with different formats and see your work out in the world every day.

You might be strongest in graphic design, video or copywriting and storytelling. We want you to lean into that strength while being comfortable creating across all three. You don’t need to be equally advanced in everything, but you should enjoy trying different ways to bring an idea to life in ways relevant and contextual to the platform and our audiences.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

• Come up with original content ideas and recurring series that connect people to VeeFriends
• Turn ideas into finished social content, working independently and collaborating with other creatives when needed
• Create and publish daily, keeping the content calendar organized and tailoring posts to each platform
• Manage platform engagement and interact with our followers and fans in comments and replies
• Bring new ideas into our social strategy based on trends, performance and audience feedback
• Track results and share what’s working, what isn’t and what we should try next

WHAT YOU BRING

• Strong creative instincts and the ability to make the content you imagine
• Hands-on skills across graphic design, video creation/editing and copywriting/storytelling, with a strong capability in one and openness to working across all creative formats
• A genuine love of social media: you use the platforms daily, have built your own accounts and understand what works differently on each
• Initiative to spot opportunities and follow through without constant direction
• Openness to feedback, collaboration and learning new skills
• Knowledge and love of comics, fictional characters, collectibles and trading cards is a huge plus.

THE RESIDENCY

Start with a three-month residency, followed by a review of your work and fit. A successful review may lead to a six-month extension, with the opportunity to be considered for a full-time role afterward. Extensions and full-time offers are not guaranteed.
