Neon Ichiban
JOB REQUISITION
Position: Head of Remarques
Location: Flexible / Travel Required
Reports to: Chief Content Officer
Date: April 1, 2026
Neon Ichiban is the next evolution of digital comics and manga—a global platform where fans don’t just read, they collect, connect, and engage directly with creators. We’re bringing the energy of the convention floor to a worldwide audience—artist’s alley without borders.
We’re looking for a Head of Remarques & Creator Experiences to build and scale one of the most exciting parts of Neon Ichiban: direct creator-to-fan connection.
This role sits at the intersection of comics culture, creator relationships, and live experiences. You’ll lead how remarques, signatures, and collectible drops come to life—online and in the real world.
You’ll be in the trenches with creators, at shows, and behind the scenes shaping how fans connect with the artists they love.
Identify, recruit, and onboard top-tier and emerging comic and manga creators
Build real relationships—this is not transactional outreach
Develop long-term creator pipelines for remarques, signatures, and exclusive drops
Represent Neon Ichiban at Tier 1 and 2 shows (NYCC, SDCC, CXC etc.…where creators congregate to meet fans)
Run creator signings, remarque sessions, and fan activations
Bring the Neon Ichiban experience to life on the floor—high energy, fan-first
Oversee the full lifecycle of digital signatures and remarques
Create leads, onboard and train creators on how to make Remarques and post to the Neon Ichiban Marketplace
Collaborate with creators on formats, pricing, and availability
Ensure quality, authenticity, and a premium collector experience
Plan and execute limited drops tied to creators, titles, and cultural moments
Work cross-functionally with product and marketing to launch seamlessly
Balance accessibility with collectibility—always thinking like a fan
Bring insights from creators and fans back into Product, Engineering, and roadmap
Help shape tools that make creator interaction simple, scalable, and meaningful
1+ years in creator relations, talent management, or fan engagement at a comics, manga, or entertainment company
Real convention experience — you've run signings, activations, or artist alley operations at major shows
Established relationships with comic and manga creators (or the ability to build them fast)
Strong instincts for collectibles, limited editions, and what drives fan purchasing behavior
Clear, direct communicator who can work across creative, product, and marketing teams
Startup mentality — comfortable with a small team, fast pace, ambiguity, and building from scratch
Willingness to travel extensively (domestic and international)
Experience at a digital marketplace, publishing platform, or direct-to-consumer media company
Background in e-commerce, digital goods, or collectible drops
Familiarity with manga publishing or international creator ecosystems
Prior experience managing live-stream or virtual fan events
Working knowledge of project management and CRM tooling (Notion, Linear, or similar)
This is more than managing a program. It’s building a new category.
This is about turning every screen into an artist's alley—where fans anywhere can connect with creators, get something personal, and be part of the moment.
We’re building a global home for comics and manga—where fans and creators connect directly, and where collecting is as meaningful as reading.
