## About the role

As the In-Game Merchandising Specialist for Global MapleStory, you will be the primary trendsetter/influencer for our Western player base. Your mission is to curate and suggest cosmetic content—including NX outfits, hair/face styles, and pets—that resonates with North American and European fashion trends. You will translate "Real-World" Western aesthetics (Streetwear, Y2K, Cottagecore, Anime, etc.) into MapleStory, ensuring our monetization strategy feels culturally relevant and exciting to players.

## What they're looking for

- 3+ years in Fashion Buying/Merchandising, or Trend Forecasting, preferably in Gaming
- Expert proficiency in creating high-quality Mood Boards (Pinterest, PureRef, Milanote) to communicate visual direction to artists
- You are deeply immersed in online culture. You consume content on TikTok, Instagram, ArtStation, and Reddit to spot visual trends as they are forming, not after they have peaked
- Proficient in analyzing sales data from previous cosmetics and identifying aesthetic patterns (e.g., "Our players buy x item for this appeal versus other items" )
- Strong knowledge and understanding of anime visual language and how it intersects with Western fashion trends
- Knowledge of live and online game player cosmetic and other trends
