  • 10+ years of events experience preferably from the entertainment or gaming industry that includes managing, executing, planning, and staffing events at an agency, studio, network, or with a brand (experience in film or television awards campaigns is a bonus) 

  • A self-starter who is able to work independently, and under pressure, while consistently exercising sound judgment even when faced with ambiguity 

  • Articulate what is and is not required to deliver a successful campaign

  • Be transparent and unafraid to challenge, ask questions, or call out obstacles

  • Agile with meticulous attention to details

  • Excellent organizational skills and ability to roll up your sleeves to get things done

  • Excellent communication in Japanese and English fluency is a plus
