Japanese Content Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

APPLICATIONS WITHOUT COVER LETTERS OR PORTFOLIOS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED.

Who we are

Himitsu Station is an immersive escape experience in Salt Lake City, Utah, inspired by retro Japanese urban culture and fantasy with meticulously crafted environments.

We are a passion-driven organization with an uncompromising attention to detail. Every decision is made in service of the story. No matter the role, every member of our team is responsible for protecting and elevating the world we've created.

This is a fast-paced, high-accountability environment with frequent feedback and high standards. We believe growth comes from being challenged, so we invest in the development of every member of our team and actively support their professional growth. If you're motivated to improve your craft, take ownership, and build something exceptional alongside a team that genuinely enjoys working together, you'll thrive here. We work hard, celebrate wins, and people regularly bring in snacks to share!

Our creative principles

We care about three values above all else:

Curiosity — You're always exploring new creative approaches, studying great filmmaking and storytelling, and looking for deeper insights into our guests, brand, and audience. Curiosity isn't just encouraged here, it's expected.

Excellence —You hold yourself to high standards. Every piece of content should feel on brand, intentional, and aligned with our storytelling values. You sweat the details, stay organized, and take ownership of your work.

Intensity — You bring energy, initiative, and ambition. You don't wait for direction, you identify opportunities, solve problems, and see projects through from concept to final delivery. We value people who are intrinsically motivated and genuinely enjoy doing great work.

The role: Creative Content Producer

This isn't a typical content creation job. You'll help shape how millions of people discover Himitsu Station and experience our world before they ever step through the front door. If you love filmmaking, storytelling, and building something meaningful from the ground up, you'll have the opportunity to make a lasting impact here. We're not trying to become another local attraction, we're building a world-class entertainment brand, and the content you create will play a central role in our mission.

You are responsible for creating content that stays true to the brand, showcases the guest experience, and extends our world beyond the attraction and into social media.

• You consistently publish 2–3 high-quality pieces of content each week.
• Your content reaches an average of 200,000–400,000 weekly views. While views aren't the goal, they are a leading indicator that our content is resonating.
• You proactively bring forward new content ideas rather than waiting for direction.
• You reduce the workload of the founders and operations team by taking ownership of the content production process.
• You continuously improve your work by testing new ideas, learning from performance data, and refining your creative process.

• You are uncomfortable giving or receiving constructive feedback
• You prioritize trends over telling meaningful stories
