About the role
Have you made an Instagram carousel as part of your art or writing practice? Do you reference Simone Weil and Sex and the City with equal weight? Are you bonded deeply with a sister, friend, cousin or mother who drinks out of a Stanley Cup? Conceptually, what astrological sign answers yes to all three of these questions?
We are expanding our social media department creatively and in headcount. This role includes work on new branding projects as well.
To write for our social media and brand, we must be a responsive team that listens to the world’s cues, processes them with sensitivity, and turns out timely interpretations that thrill a Co-Star-specific spectrum of people who read their horoscope daily.
Please have a lifetime of experience consuming the internet, media and references that make you feel seen in this world, and hold reverence for the basic, the branded and the popular.
What you’ll do
- Concept funny, smart, ownable insights for astrological signs. Go for weird, but be able to pull back to test for different angles
- Work with and punch other creatives’ work live in meetings as well as collaborate with team on yours
- Mock up your ideas visually
What you'll bring
- A sharp sense of how the internet talks, pop culture narrative past, present and future, and how to respond with humor, insight, and astrological interpretation
- Knowledge of astrology isn’t necessary, but piercing insight into human behavior is, whether through academia, astrology, therapy, or a lifetime of careful observation
- Ability to address and incorporate feedback on writing and concepts
- Hit deadlines consistently
- Confident knowledge of IG, X and TikTok communities appreciated
- Knowledge of Google Docs and Figma a plus
Logistics
- Remote, but local to NYC preferred
- Part-time, 15-20 hours per week with potential to move to full-time
