About Animon Life
Animon Life is a Bay Area-based retailer specializing in officially licensed ACG (Anime, Comics, and Games) merchandise, with a strong focus on popular game IPs and fandom communities.
Our operations span physical retail, e-commerce, local fulfillment, and brand collaborations. As Animon Life continues to grow across the Bay Area, we're looking for dependable, detail-oriented, and enthusiastic team members to grow with us.

Marketing & Creative Opportunities
Social Media Content Creator — Short-Form Video
Our Marketing team creates social-first content around officially licensed ACG merchandise, characters, fandoms, store experiences, and special campaigns.
We're looking for creators who understand how people actually watch and engage with short-form content on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram Reels. Rather than traditional commercial-style advertising, we're interested in content that feels native to social media — whether that's product-focused, humorous, trend-driven, fandom-oriented, highly edited, or built around a strong creative concept.
Depending on individual strengths, creators may focus on content planning and ideation, filming, editing, or end-to-end video production. A strong understanding of hooks, pacing, social trends, and ACG audiences is especially valuable.
Bay Area creators are preferred for positions involving on-location filming, while some content planning and editing work may be considered remotely depending on the applicant's specialization.
