The Role
We are looking for an Executive Assistant with a passion for marketing and brand to work directly with the President of Marketing & Brand.

This role sits at the center of the President’s day‑to‑day operations. You’ll help manage the flow of information, priorities, and communication across internal teams and external partners. The right person is highly organized, pro‑active, and able to keep multiple moving pieces aligned without losing sight of the bigger picture.

You’ll own travel arrangement and expense management the same way as calendar management and scheduling, help prepare for and follow up on meetings, capture key notes and decisions, and make sure conversations translate into clear next steps. You'll be curious about the marketing side of the organization — helping coordinate decks and documents, keeping the wider marketing team organized where needed.

We are looking for someone with

1–2 years of professional experience , strong organizational instincts, and an interest and base understanding of how creative and marketing teams operate within entertainment or media.

You should be someone who not only keeps things running smoothly, but who is a fan and with a passion for today's pop culture and is deeply immersed in anime, gaming, and modern action storytelling — as well as the communities that surround them.

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

You should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks, identifying gaps before they become problems, and helping bring clarity and structure to fast‑moving conversations and ideas.

This role works best for someone who enjoys being close to the operational side of a fast‑moving Entertainment company and who is motivated by helping teams execute at a high level.
