Digital Illustrator

We’re looking for a Digital Illustrator and Visual Content Assistant who can bring our characters, worlds, and humor to life across social platforms. This role is illustration first and social media second. If you love drawing expressive characters, turning internet culture into visual jokes, and creating content people actually want to share, this role will feel natural.

You will spend most of your time creating illustrated content using our existing characters and universe. Social posting, scheduling, and optimization matter, but those can be learned. Strong illustration instincts cannot.

If you already find yourself doomscrolling, spotting trends, and thinking “our characters would be perfect for this,” you are exactly who we want.

Why You’ll Want to Join

• You will be paid in USD (bi-monthly: every 15th and 30th)
• Up to 14 days of Paid Time Off annually (starting Day 1)
• Observance of Holidays per company guidelines
• 100% remote setup so you can work wherever you’re most productive
• Direct access to founders and creative decision-makers
• Opportunity to shape the visual voice of a growing fantasy IP from the ground up
• Long-term role supporting new game launches and brand growth

What You’ll Work On

Illustration and Visual Content Creation

• Create original illustrations using existing characters, items, and settings
• Produce meme-style visuals, parody content, and trend-based illustrations
• Adapt characters into relatable, funny, and shareable internet formats
• Develop visual content for posts, carousels, stories, and basic reels
• Maintain consistency with the brand’s visual tone while experimenting creatively

Social Media Content Execution

• Turn illustrated assets into social-ready content
• Publish and schedule posts across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X
• Optimize content formatting for each platform
• Collaborate with founders to align content with launches and campaigns

Trend Awareness and Ideation

• Monitor trends, memes, and cultural moments daily
• Identify opportunities to remix trends using Verne Adventures characters
• Pitch content ideas proactively and execute quickly
• Help test different formats to see what resonates with the audience

What You Bring

• Strong digital illustration skills with a clear, expressive style
• Experience using tools like Procreate, Photoshop, Illustrator, or similar
• Ability to create content quickly without over-polishing
• Good visual judgment and instinct for what works online
• Comfortable working independently and iterating based on feedback
• Reliable execution and follow-through

Nice to Have

• Experience managing or posting to social media accounts
• Familiarity with meme culture, anime, gaming, or fandom communities
• Basic short-form video or animation skills
• Interest in board games, card games, or fantasy worlds
• Experience supporting indie brands or Kickstarter projects

How to Apply

Please include:

1. Your updated resume
2. An illustration portfolio or samples of visual work
3. A short 1–2 minute Loom video introducing yourself and walking through your illustration experience and how you approach creating social content

Only candidates who submit a portfolio and Loom video will be considered.

If you want to draw characters for a living, turn internet culture into visual jokes, and help build a fantasy brand people actually care about, this role gives you room to create, experiment, and grow alongside the IP.
