About the role

We are seeking a Staff Systems Transformation Manager to join Crunchyroll's Business Transformation team. This is a strategic, product-led role focused on defining and executing the roadmap for critical enterprise systems that power Crunchyroll's content, finance, rights, and operational workflows.

Unlike a program or project management role, this position requires ownership of product vision, strategy, and roadmap execution across multiple systems domains. You will serve as the bridge between business stakeholders and technical teams, aligning system capabilities with high-impact business needs. The ideal candidate brings a strategic and analytical mindset, deep experience in both the functional and technical aspects of enterprise system implementations, and a strong ability to drive alignment and clarity across cross-functional teams.

As Staff Systems Transformation Manager, Business Transformation, you will play a key role in prioritizing features, leading integrations, and shaping process improvements that scale with Crunchyroll's global growth and evolving operating model. You'll partner closely with Engineering and business stakeholders-as well as external vendors-to deliver systems that are robust, scalable, and tightly aligned with company goals.

• Operational Process Design & Scaling
  Assess pain points and inefficiencies across digital supply chain operations. Partner with business and technical teams to redesign workflows and implement system-driven, repeatable solutions that reduce manual effort, improve accuracy, and support future business scale. Lead continuous improvement initiatives grounded in data and cross-functional feedback.
• Cross-Functional Alignment & Influence
  Build strong partnerships across Engineering, Finance, Legal, Programming, Content Ops, Marketing, and Data teams. Proactively manage interdependencies, clarify priorities, and ensure deliverables meet both strategic and operational requirements. Serve as the connective tissue across stakeholder groups, keeping communication open, proactive, and focused on value delivery.
