Social Content Strategist, Marketplace

Collectors is the leading creator of innovative technology that provides value-added services for collectors worldwide. We grade, authenticate, vault, and sell millions of record-setting collectibles, all while modernizing and digitalizing the process to further our mission of helping collectors pursue their passions. We’re always on the lookout for talented people to join our growing team.

Our services span collectible coins, trading cards, Funko Pops!, video games, event tickets, autographs, and memorabilia. Our subsidiaries include PSA, PCGS, SGC, WATA, and Card Ladder.

Since our founding in 1986, we have graded and authenticated millions of items. We employ more than 1,900 people across our headquarters in Santa Ana and offices in Jersey City, Tokyo, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Toronto, Guadalajara, Dallas, and Paris.

While PSA is built on authentication and grading services, the company has grown well beyond to serve the complete collecting experience. A two-year surge of infrastructure and innovation is recognized by two recent milestones: one million trading cards consigned on eBay, and one million collectibles secured in the PSA Vault. 

We are seeking a Social Content Strategist who sees these benchmarks as starting points. Reporting to the Sr. Manager, Social Media & Communications, the Content Strategist will be an integral force in furthering our online presence, growing marketplace-focused channels, crafting data-driven messaging, and collaborating with multiple departments to position PSA’s unique buy-and-sell offerings. 

You’ll report to the Senior Manager of Social Media and Communications and work from our Santa Ana office. Remote or hybrid candidates will also be considered. We believe that there is significant value in in-person collaboration. If you live within a 1 hour commuting distance to one of our offices, you will be required to be onsite most of the time. This will be discussed further as part of the recruiting process.
