About the role
You'll build the Instapacks that thousands of collectors rip every week. You'll turn our vault inventory into packs people love: picking chases collectors will love, creating themes and curating cards, setting run sizes, checking every pack's value and margin, and getting each print run live on time. Then you'll tell collectors about it, with drop announcements, pull highlights, and the stories behind the chases. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- You're a serious collector or player. You follow sets, prices, and grading, and you can spot a fake
- You're good with numbers: comfortable in spreadsheets, expected value, and basic probability. Experience using AI tools like Claude is a plus
- You are immersed in the TCG hobby. You know what cards are trending, when new sets drop what the top chases will be. You’ve bought, sold, traded and graded cards for a long time and it shows
- You've bought, sold, or priced cards for real: at a card shop, as a show dealer or Whatnot seller, at an auction house, grading company, distributor, or marketplace
- You write in a collector's voice. Comfort on camera or running social is a plus
- You check your work. Packs go live with real money on them, and accuracy matters every time
