* Platform expertise: You understand the nuances of each channel—e.g., LinkedIn post, X threads, YouTube video—and can adapt tone, format, and messaging accordingly.
* Comprehensive content toolkit: You are proficient in Photoshop, Canva, CapCut, or similar content-creation tools, and familiarity with AI-powered creation platforms is a plus
* 3D workflow familiarity: You understand the fundamentals of 3D asset pipelines, with hands-on experience with tools such as Blender, Maya, Substance Painter, or Unreal Engine as a plus
* Self-driven creativity: You are able to originate concepts, execute independently, and iterate based on data without requiring detailed briefs.
What You’ll Get
* Real ownership: Your work will directly shape how tens of thousands of creators discover and engage with Rival.
* Startup culture: You will join a close-knit, fast-moving team where collaboration is key, and you'll work closely with the founders.
* Compensation & perks: You’ll receive a competitive salary package, along with a range of perks.
