Japan Content Specialist

Role Overview

We're looking for an ambitious, growth-obsessed Content Specialist who basically thinks in TikToks. Someone who gets fired up by great content, knows what's trending before it trends, and wants to take Bump to #1 on the App Store in Japan (and keep it there).

This role can be either full-time in person in Paris or remote from Japan.

You'll be the person bringing internet culture from Japan into the heart of our Paris office, creating content, leading creators, testing wild ideas, breaking things (in a good way), and helping us build Bump into a must-have app.

If that sounds like your dream job, keep reading.

You are:

• Ambitious, driven, and wildly creative.

• A natural storyteller who knows exactly why one video flops and another takes off.

• Someone who spends more time on TikTok than you'd ever admit publicly.

• Comfortable giving creators feedback that actually makes their content better.

• Deeply tuned into Japanese memes, humour, and online culture.

• Fluent in Japanese and English, and lived in Japan.

• Excited to work onsite if in Paris, with a fast-moving team.

• Scrappy, energetic, experimental, you love trying 10 ideas to find the 1 that blows up, yet rigorous and detail oriented.
  

What You’ll Do:

• Grow Bump in Japan (yep, you'll actually own this).

• Lead all content + creator efforts for the Japanese market.

• Make high-performing TikToks, Reels, and UGC-style ads that people actually want to watch.

• Build and manage a pipeline of Japanese creators.

• Run influencer campaigns with top Japanese creators and micro-influencers.

• Work closely with paid marketing to turn great content into great performance.

• Jump on trends before they hit the For You Page.

• Write briefs, give notes, and help external creators shine.

• Collaborate daily in our Paris office with growth, distribution, and product.

• Join brainstorms, test ideas fast, and help shape the creative direction of Bump.

• Support launches, events, and Japan-focused activations.
  

Requirements:

• 1–5+ years making short-form content (brand, agency, influencer, or creator, we care more about your work than your title).

• Experience making content for ads (UGC especially).

• Experience managing creators or giving creative feedback.

• Deep knowledge of TikTok/IG trends and the Japanese creator landscape.

• Japanese language and English language proficiency.

• Experience living in Japan.

• Must be willing to work in person in Paris or remotely from Japan.
  

Why Join Bump?

• Work in Paris with an ambitious, high-energy team that moves fast.

• Own the entire Japanese market for one of the world's fastest-growing consumer apps.

• Make content seen by millions and watch your work directly drive growth.

• Do the kind of creative work most companies would never let you try.

• Build a content engine from scratch and shape how Bump shows up in Japan.

• We test fast, learn fast, and celebrate wins properly.
