As the Brand Marketing Manager, you will join WEBTOON's Global Brand Task Force, working cross-functionally with teams around the world to build the brand foundation for WEBTOON in the U.S. and, ultimately, globally.

  • 5+ years of brand marketing experience, ideally within entertainment or fandom-driven industries. 
  • Proven experience developing brand strategies and executing integrated, multi-channel marketing campaigns.
  • Strong understanding of the U.S. entertainment landscape, media ecosystem, and consumer trends.
  • Experience working within a global organization, with a demonstrated ability to drive cross-functional collaboration and influence teams without direct authority.
  • Experience collaborating with internal creative teams and external agencies to develop impactful creative campaigns.
  • Strong analytical mindset with the ability to leverage consumer research, brand tracking, and campaign performance data to inform strategy.
  • Exceptional project management and organizational skills, with the ability to independently manage multiple initiatives, budgets, timelines, and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
  • Excellent communication, presentation, and storytelling skills.
  • Highly adaptable and comfortable navigating ambiguity, shifting priorities, and a dynamic work environment.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience marketing to fandom-driven audiences with a strong understanding of community building and audience engagement.
  • Familiarity with WEBTOON, anime, manga, web novels, gaming, or adjacent fandom communities is strongly preferred.
