The Role

We are looking for an Executive Assistant with a passion for marketing and brand to work directly with the President of Marketing & Brand.

This role sits at the center of the President’s day-to-day operations. You’ll help manage the flow of information, priorities, and communication across internal teams and external partners. The right person is highly organized, pro-active, and able to keep multiple moving pieces aligned without losing sight of the bigger picture.

You’ll own travel arrangement and expense management the same way as calendar management and scheduling, help prepare for and follow up on meetings, capture key notes and decisions, and make sure conversations translate into clear next steps. You'll be curious about the marketing side of the organization — helping coordinate decks and documents, keeping the wider marketing team organized where needed. 

We are looking for someone with 1–2 years of professional experience, strong organizational instincts, and an interest and base understanding of how creative and marketing teams operate within entertainment or media.

You should be someone who not only keeps things running smoothly, but who is a fan and with a passion for today's pop culture and is deeply immersed in anime, gaming, and modern action storytelling — as well as the communities that surround them.

Location This role is based out of our Los Angeles, CA office and is fully in-person.

What You’ll Do

• Manage the President of Marketing & Brand’s calendar, scheduling, and meeting logistics

• Prepare meeting materials and capture notes, decisions, and follow-ups

• Track action items and ensure conversations translate into execution

• Coordinate marketing decks, documents, and campaign materials

• Arrange travel, manage expenses and other logistics.

• Support internal marketing processes and team coordination

• Assist with research and preparation related to marketing initiatives and partnerships

What Makes Someone Successful in This Role

The best candidates for this role don’t just wait for instructions — they anticipate what’s needed and help keep things moving. You should be comfortable taking ownership of tasks, identifying gaps before they become problems, and helping bring clarity and structure to fast-moving conversations and ideas.

This role works best for someone who enjoys being close to the operational side of a fast-moving Entertainment company and who is motivated by helping teams execute at a high level.

This Role Is a Great Fit If…

• You are highly organized and naturally keep track of moving pieces without being asked

• You enjoy bringing clarity and structure to fast-moving conversations and projects

• You are proactive and comfortable anticipating needs rather than waiting for instructions

• You are deeply interested in modern pop culture, particularly anime, gaming, and action storytelling

• You want exposure to how marketing, brand, and franchise strategy operate inside a growing studio

Qualifications

• 1–2 years of professional experience in a marketing, assistant, or coordinator role

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Marketing, Communications, Media Studies, or a related field preferred — or equivalent professional experience

• Applicants must be authorized to work in the United States. Arena SNK does not provide visa sponsorship.

What we offer:

We believe the people who help build something great should be taken care of — fully.

• Competitive Salary

• Medical, Dental & Vision: 100% employer-paid coverage for employees — no premiums, no guesswork

• 401(k): 100% company match on your contributions up to 4% of your salary

• Paid Holidays and Paid Time Off to rest, recharge, and stay inspired
  

We're building something that fans will care about for a long time. We want the people building it with us to be here for the long run too.
