Contract: Full-Time

Thanks to Daniel Morales (Fukushima, 2005-2008) for passing along the following job opening.

Queen & Co. is hiring a full-time bilingual Client Director.

This role is client-facing: you’ll need to communicate and pitch comfortably and persuasively in spoken Japanese and English. It’s a rare role sitting across language, client leadership, and platform-building, with real ownership from day one and a clear path into senior leadership as we scale. Tokyo or remote within Japan preferred; visa sponsorship available for the right person.

Iconic and game-changing, Akira is the definitive anime masterpiece! Katsuhiro Otomo’s landmark cyberpunk classic obliterated the boundaries of Japanese animation and forced the world to look into the future. Akira’s arrival shattered traditional thinking, creating space for future generations of ground-breaking movies. July, 1988—World War III breaks loose. Then, in 2019, in megalopolis Tokyo…As the leader of a group of young robust delinquents, Kaneda spent his nights tearing through the urban wastes, racing his motorbike against rival groups. One night while riding with his gang, his friend Tetsuo suddenly encounters a strange boy―the product of human experimentation—and is injured in the ensuing crash. Shortly thereafter, a military squadron appears on the scene to take the boy and Tetsuo away to an army research facility. Determined to free Tetsuo from capture, Kaneda sneaks into the army research lab. However, a regimen of extreme experimental procedures has awakened a new power in his friend, and now he is consumed by madness…
