Best Fit Profile

• Genuinely part of the local Japanese-style pop culture and entertainment (ACGN) scene — attends conventions, cosplay events, doujin markets and fan meet-ups as a participant, not an observer.
• Recognized and trusted within their own market’s ACGN community, with a real network of cosplayers, circles, fan groups, event organizers and creators they can reach directly.
• Connected beyond their home market, with working relationships across ACGN communities in other SEA countries.
• Hands-on operator who is comfortable running on-ground activations and day-to-day community work, not only posting content.
• Culturally fluent and locally native — reads the tone, humour and sensitivities of their market instinctively, while working within a regional brand direction.

Key Responsibilities

• Run day-to-day community operations for your market across Discord, Facebook, TikTok, X, Instagram and other relevant platforms, including moderation, engagement and localized community content.
• Represent the brand on the ground at ACGN events in your market — conventions, cosplay competitions, doujin and artist markets, fan gatherings, offline meet-ups and watch parties — covering booth presence, activations, fan interaction and on-site content capture.
• Build and maintain a working network of local cosplayers, artists, circles, fan communities, event organisers, convention operators and creators; keep a live, usable contact map for the market.
• Identify and recommend local ACGN events worth attending or sponsoring, with a clear view on audience fit, cost and expected outcome; support execution end to end once approved.
• Recruit, brief and support community volunteers, moderators, cosplayers and grassroots creators for campaigns and events.
• Monitor and report local community sentiment, trends, memes, complaints and emerging issues; escalate sensitive matters to the Community Manager promptly and with context.
• Localise regional community and campaign plans so they land naturally in your market, without diluting the brand’s core identity and positioning.
• Feed player feedback, bugs, localisation issues and cultural risks to the Community Manager and, through them, to product and marketing teams.
• Coordinate with counterparts in other SEA-6 markets to share community insight, cross-promote regional activity, and connect communities across borders where it makes sense.
• Support community events, giveaways, contests, cosplay and UGC initiatives — from planning and briefing through to execution, moderation and post-event reporting.
• Maintain basic community records and reporting: event recaps, community growth and engagement figures, sentiment notes, creator and partner logs

• 1–2+ years of experience in community management, community operations, events, social media or player support — or equivalent demonstrable experience organising and running ACGN community activity.
• Active, verifiable participation in the local Japanese-style pop culture and entertainment / ACGN scene — for example convention attendance, cosplay activity, doujin or fan-circle involvement, fan-group administration, or organising community meet-ups and events. Please include specifics in your application: which events, which communities, what you did.
• Demonstrable standing and reach within your local ACGN community — people in the scene know you and take your call. No minimum follower count is required; what matters is a real, contactable network and evidence of having gathered or mobilised community members.
• Connections across ACGN communities in other SEA markets — cosplayers, organisers, circles or creators outside your own country whom you can actually reach.
• Direct experience participating in and/or helping run ACGN events in any SEA country (conventions, cosplay competitions, doujin markets, fan gatherings) is strongly preferred.
• Deep familiarity with ACGN culture and anime-style games — gacha, open-world, long-service titles — including how IP, characters, content and creator activity shape player behaviour.
• Strong understanding of internet culture, memes and social trends in your market, and comfort adapting tone across platforms.
• Hands-on with Discord and the main local social platforms; comfortable with moderation, community tooling and basic content creation.
• Willing and able to travel and to work weekends and evenings around event schedules; based in the market being hired for, with the right to work there.
• Comfortable being visible — on-camera, on stage at booths, on livestreams and in front of the community.
• Native or near-native in the local market language, plus working English for regional coordination; additional SEA languages or Mandarin is an advantage.
• Preferred: prior work with a game publisher, studio, convention organiser, cosplay group, doujin circle, or ACGN media/creator outfit in SEA.
