Job description

Join the team defining the future of spatial computing.

Enklu is the world’s largest platform for location-based augmented reality, powering world-class entertainment that blends digital storytelling with real-world interaction.

We move fast, set a high bar, and expect the best from ourselves and each other. Here, you’ll own outcomes, push boundaries, and grow faster than you thought possible. If you thrive in high-performance environments and want to help shape the future of 3D storytelling, Enklu is where you’ll do the best work of your career.

About Verse Immersive

In 2022, Enklu launched Verse Immersive , the world's first and only Holographic Theatre concept (clear lens augmented reality). In the past 24 months we’ve exploded from a few locations that we owned and operated, to now over 30 locations in 5 countries, having solidified marquee partnerships with some of the worlds most reputable hardware manufacturers, Hollywood IP holders, family entertainment centers, movie theaters, science museums, and more.

About You

You’re the kind of person who lives for the energy of social.

Crafting posts isn’t just your job — it’s your arena. You know how to translate a brand into a personality that connects with audiences, whether that’s a 13-year-old excited to try Verse for the first time, or a Fortune 500 exec curious about bringing Enklu into their venues. You thrive on making noise that turns heads, sparks conversation, and builds loyalty.

You’re equal parts creator and strategist. You get a rush from testing content formats, watching metrics in real time, and knowing exactly when to double down on what’s working. You love spotting trends early, jumping on cultural moments, and playing with emerging tools to push the brand into new territory. The details matter to you: every caption, every hashtag, every reply to a comment.

You move fast, embrace experimentation, and aren’t afraid to take bold stances. When things don’t land, you pivot quickly and keep swinging. You sweat consistency, because you know social presence is earned one post at a time. Above all, you bring a voice that is authentic, sharp, and magnetic — one that makes Enklu stand out in a crowded feed.
