Short-Form Content Creator

Our Company

Pax Historia is defining a new category of gameplay using the latest advancements in generative AI. Our platform brings together the depth of grand strategy with the creative freedom of a sandbox experience, all fueled by a passionate community that creates and remixes scenarios on our platform.

Please apply on Ashby.

The Role

We’re hiring social-media creators to work remotely as contractors. You will report to the Chief of Staff and the Community Manager.

Our current position:

• We have a very active international community of players.
• Pax Historia allows players to publish their own ‘presets.’ This has allowed for a huge variety of possible games for new users.
• Players frequently generate interesting, funny, and highly shareable moments (AI-to-player conversations, creative maps & scenarios), but this hasn’t yet been showcased enough outside our Discord and Reddit communities.
• Most of our players discovered Pax Historia after hearing about us from Youtube reviews or word-of-mouth recommendations.
• We currently have a very active Discord, a semi-active Reddit, and a fairly minimal Pax Historia Wiki.

What you’ll do:

• Create engaging, short-form content that gets people talking about Pax Historia.
• Produce attention-grabbing but non-spammy content.
• Engage with our core audience– history and grand strategy nerds– while also reaching new audiences who might be more interested in fantasy/sci-fi/etc.
• Carefully monitor your engagement statistics to see what is working and continually improve on it.
• Promote a friendly gaming community. While some content can be ‘edgy’, it must remain appropriate and aligned with our community standards.

How performance will be measured:

• Engagement metrics will be regularly evaluated (views, comments, shares, likes, etc.).
• The number of sign-ups you drive with your content.
• Alignment between the image you promote and our vision for the game and community.

Ideally, we would like to see 7 high-quality short form videos per week (ie, 1 per day).

Culture

Most of our players have discovered Pax Historia organically (friends, youtube reviews) and have stuck around because we truly care about the game we’re building. That’s why we want every one of our employees to care deeply about our product too. History, fantasy, or sci-fi nerds are especially welcome, but if you can articulate why you’d be excited to work on our game, we’d love to hear from you.

You should be self-driven, a team player, and willing to advocate for your ideas. The cofounders will not be hand-holding: their leadership strategy is to ‘get out of the way’ of employees to let them do their best work.

Your Qualifications

Core Competencies:

• You have experience running social media accounts with a significant presence or following.
• You have strong video-editing experience and skills.
• You know how to effectively evaluate social media engagement metrics and are able to adapt based on them.
• Experience playing Pax Historia.
• Background in games and history so that you are better able to understand what our players are interested in.

Product & Ownership Mindset

• You are extremely comfortable working independently.
• You own that you are helping create 'the brand' and act accordingly: you stay focused on the game and community and generate meaningful content.
• You communicate early and often about audience response to your content (e.g., shifts in sentiment, feature requests, and which groups are engaging the most).
• You are extremely reliable, responsive to feedback/questions, and timely.
• You refuse to solely rely on existing memes and 'AI slop'; you are driven and creative.

Compensation

Compensation has not been finalized. However our current thinking is we will pay around $10-$30 per eligible video (baseline), depending on relevant experience and scope.

In addition, we plan to offer performance-based bonuses for videos that perform well. Bonus tiers and payout structure may be adjusted over time as we learn what works, and we will communicate any changes in advance.
