About the Position
Ahoy there! Nickelodeon is diving deep into the heart of Bikini Bottom to recruit a bubbly, creative, and meme-savvy TikTok maestro to steer the ship of our SpongeBob SquarePants social media voyage. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to soak up SpongeBob's iconic moments and squeeze them into bite-sized, giggle-inducing, and Krabby Patty-flavored content that will have the next generation of fans blowing bubbles of joy.
You don’t need to be a fry cook at the Krusty Krab, but you should have a locker full of passion for storytelling, an eye sharper than the pointy end of a Barnacle, and the ability to turn the nautical nonsense of SpongeBob's world into easily digestible treasures that entertain and spark joy. Your follower count doesn’t matter; whether you have one devoted plankton follower or millions of jellyfish in the sea hanging on your every word. Anyone can be a creator.
