Job Description
USN is on the hunt for a creative team player with their finger on the pulse of Japanese social media. Your knack for crafting catchy captions, witty one-liners, and creative content will elevate us to new heights. Native in Japanese and write/speak in English? Even better. Join our dynamic team where creativity thrives and together, let's redefine social media magic. Sounds like you? Great, let’s talk!

- You have a good sense of when something might go viral.
- You know the nuances that differentiate all the biggest Japanese social media platforms. You know how an idea would work better for one platform but not for another, and know how to tweak it so it translates.
- You are a native Japanese speaker who can explain an idea in English and can write English back translations for your writing that make it clear why they are funny/interesting.
- You'd be happy knowing that a huge part of your job is making TikToks for the world’s most famous language learning app and its unhinged giant owl.
