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).

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 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.

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.

  • 1-5+ years making short-form content (brand, agency, influencer, or creator)
  • Experience making content for ads, especially UGC
  • Experience managing creators or giving creative feedback

What We Do

Welcome to amo The bike rides. The sleepovers. Your first cigarette. Gossiping about your latest crush. Being consoled when they break your heart. Discovering a new city. Re-discovering your own (at 2AM). The hungover brunches. The tears. The laughs. The love. So many of the moments that shaped us were shared with friends. And then those moments started happening online. Posting photos from last night’s party. Tagging your latest situationship. Poking your roommate (whatever that means??). It was exciting and well intentioned, but something got lost along the way. The platforms that were built to bring friends closer together became places we go to scroll through videos… of strangers. We’re entertained, but where did our friends go? A new kind of social company We believe that friendship still deserves a place online. Our first app, ID, brought a new take on the social profile, providing a collaborative board for you and your friends to express yourselves on. And our second app, Bump, is the best map for friends — giving you a new home on your phone for the people and places most important to you. With Sugar, chatting with friends goes beyond the confines of a green or blue bubble. Drop whatever you want on an unlimited canvas, turning any conversation into art. Together, the apps form the beginning of a new kind of social company. One that exists across multiple apps, but only one you. And with many more ideas for new ways to bring you closer to your friends. We’re going to experiment, build, re-build again, and no doubt get lots wrong along the way. But we hope that what we get right earns its place on your home screen — as a new collection of apps that serve you and your friends above all else. On amo, your profile, friendships, and settings are shared across the apps. Trying a new one takes no time at all as your info (and your friends!) are already waiting for you. When we have new ideas, we won’t be constrained by an ever-growing tab bar and the four corners of just one app. We’ll make something entirely new and give you the choice on whether to use it or not. Take what you need, ignore what you don’t. We feel a real responsibility when it comes to creating stuff for you and your friends — and doing so the right way. We believe that the company that survives long term in this space is the one that aligns itself closest with your best interests. So to keep ourselves accountable, we developed some principles that guide what we do.
