You’ll collaborate closely with our Organic and Growth Marketing teams to bring the world of WEBTOON to life through social and digital content that’s bold, emotional, and fan-first. If you’re someone who’s obsessed with how visual storytelling lives on TikTok, YouTube, and Instagram, and maybe even have an online presence of your own in the webcomic or fandom space, this is the role for you.
