Job Description

What is Packz?

Packz is a best-in-class gamified collectibles platform. Open digital packs, get physical trading cards, and either have them shipped to your door or sell them back instantly. We are backed by some of the world’s best investors, including those who previously backed companies like DraftKings, StockX, and The Athletic.


This is an opportunity to join the team early as we build in a $100B+ category.


The Role

We're hiring a Social Media Lead to run Packz's socials on X, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook. You'll post daily, catch trends before they peak, and make Packz the account collectors actually want to follow.


We need someone who is chronically online about Pokémon. You know what pulled at the latest set's prerelease, which chase cards are spiking, what the TCG community is memeing about this week, and why that one Japanese promo has everyone losing it. Sports cards and watches are a plus, but Pokémon is the priority.


You'll report to our Creator Growth Manager. This role is full-time, in person, and based in New York City.


What You'll Do

  • Own Packz's posting calendar across X, Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook, publishing daily
  • Help build Packz's brand identity, from voice and tone to visual style, so every post feels unmistakably Packz
  • Turn set releases, card price swings, leaks, and community drama into timely posts, often within hours
  • Film and edit short-form content such as pack openings, pulls, hauls, and reactions
  • Engage with the community through replies, quote posts, and collabs with creators and collectors
  • Spot what's working, report weekly on growth and engagement, and double down on it


What We're Looking For

  • Deep, genuine Pokémon knowledge, especially the TCG. Sets, chase cards, grading, market trends, and community culture should be second nature
  • 2+ years running or growing social accounts, personal or brand, with results you can show us
  • Fluency in internet and collector culture, and a sense of humor that fits
  • Comfort shooting and editing short-form video (CapCut, Premiere, or similar)
  • Speed. You'd rather post a great take in an hour than a perfect one in a week
  • High ownership as an early hire


Nice to Have

  • An active Pokémon or collectibles following of your own
  • Knowledge of sports cards
  • Experience in gaming, collectibles, or a consumer startup


Compensation

  • $100,000 - $120,000 base salary
  • Health and dental insurance
  • 401(k) with company match
  • Paid time off


To apply: Send links to accounts you've run, plus one thing happening in the Pokémon world right now and how you'd post about it for Packz.
