Product Manager - Content Creator + Celebrity Platform

About Us

We build tools that help independent idols, wrestlers, musicians, comedians, cosplayers, and influencers talk to their fans. Creators earn money worldwide through custom videos, direct messages, global fan clubs, and interactive chat features.

Our service generates steady revenue today. We are expanding from single-creator chats into subscription fan clubs, scalable community spaces, and AI software for fans, creators, and talent agencies. We need a bilingual Product Manager to join us early and shape the future of consumer entertainment technology.

We work in a completely English-speaking environment, however user and client facing product work requires a strong ability to communicate in Japanese.

What Success Looks Like in Year One
