Full Job Description
WEBTOON is becoming the home for Marvel and Disney comics - a new subscription app where fans read, collect, and stay connected to the stories and characters they love. We9re building the definitive destination for Marvel/Disney IP, and we9re looking for a Project Manager to keep it on track. This role reports to the Head of Marketing and is the connective tissue across the team - owning schedules, driving deliverables to completion, and making sure the right work is approved by the right people at the right time.

  • Drive deliverables to completion, holding internal teams, agencies, and partners accountable to timelines and keeping every workstream moving.
  • Run the operating rhythm of the team - organizing meetings, capturing action items, and following up to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.
  • Serve as the central point of coordination across the team, staying on top of who owes what and proactively unblocking work as launch priorities shift.


Required Qualifications

  • Proven ability to manage multiple concurrent workstreams, timelines, and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.
  • Exceptional organizational and follow-through skills, with a sharp eye for detail and deadlines.
