We’re an Australian artist-led creative company expanding into our own animation studio, where we’ll create original anime projects.

This is a unique opportunity for someone who loves anime, understands fast-moving creative businesses, and can help build the operational foundation for a growing studio.

This is fully remote, with flexible hours and long-term, full-time work available. Strong performance, reliability, and work ethic will be rewarded with consistent pay raises and bonuses.

We’re not for everyone. If you’re looking for a quick one-off task or prefer doing the bare minimum, please do not apply. But if you want a long-term, reliable role where performance, hard work, and integrity are genuinely rewarded, this could be a great fit.

Please start your application with the word “seesaw."
