In the role of SEO Manager, you will report to the Global Audience Development SEO Manager.

  • Experience with analytics tools like Google Search Console, YouTube Studio, Clearscope, and Ahrefs.
  • Experience with YouTube optimization.
  • Familiarity with how to optimize for AI overviews or generative optimization.
  • Experience with A/B testing.
  • Strong knowledge and understanding of anime culture and its importance to the broader community, and you're driven to innovate in this space.
