About Rare Candy
Were a leading marketplace dedicated to trading card gamesPokémon MTG Lorcana and moreused by millions of collectors to buy sell and showcase their collections. Our operations team powers the logistics that ensure trading cards and collectibles move quickly and safely between sellers and collectors. We grew almost 30x last year and we arent slowing down.
The Role
Youll work with our world-class in-house creators including Leonhart and Powdr TCG to get compelling content in front of more people. They make it. You get it out the door in the right places at the right times with the right words around it.
You dont need to be a creator yourself. You need to be the person who knows what to post when to post it and what to say back when a hundred people reply. That means running the calendar writing the captions and working the comments DMs and Discord.
This is an early-career role and we expect it to be someones first or second job. What matters is that youre genuinely native to the internet and already know the TCG corner of it. You know why a video took off before anyone explains it you follow the accounts worth following and you have opinions about which ones are good. If youre still finishing school and can commit to the hours that works too.
The other half of the job is the unglamorous half. Posts go out on time threads get answered promises get kept. We need both.
What Success Looks Like
First 90 days:
Posting five days a week on TikTok and Instagram with a live calendar written ahead of time
Creator content is out the door within a day of us getting it
Comments and DMs answered daily in a voice that sounds like a collector not a brand
You know our accounts numbers and can say what moved and why
By end of year one:
Every drop and product launch has a post plan you built and ran
Were a presence in the places collectors hang out not just on our own feeds
Our reply game is part of why people follow us
What Youll Do
Post consistently across TikTok and Instagram with X and YouTube Shorts as we scale
Write captions hooks and replies that sound like one of us
Work the comments DMs Discord and Reddit
Watch whats happening in TCG internet and flag anything we should jump on the same day
Coordinate with our creators on timing and what goes out when
Pitch post ideas. The good ones get made
Send a short weekly recap of what performed and why
You Might Be a Fit If
Youre extremely online in a way thats useful not just a habit
You know the TCG space: the products the drama the accounts the language
You can write. Captions hooks replies all of it
You have taste. You can look at a piece of content and know what to do with it
You hit deadlines and answer messages. Talent without follow-through wont work here
Formal experience is optional. Current students welcome
Bonus points if youve run an account of your own for a brand a hobby or yourself.
Why This Job
Youll work directly with Leonhart and Powdr TCG not three layers away from them
Hours flex around your class schedule and we can work with your school if you need credit
Small team so your ideas get made instead of sitting in a deck
This can grow into more hours or a full-time seat if it goes well
