ANIME Impulse is one of North America's most vibrant pop culture festivals, celebrating the best of anime, gaming, cosplay, and digital creators. As part of the IMPULSE Universe family of live experiences, we are redefining what the modern convention can be by blending fandom, entertainment, and cultural discovery into one unforgettable weekend.
The Events Programming Manager serves as the creative heartbeat of ANIME Impulse. This position goes beyond simple guest booking; it is about shaping the overall attendee experience and evolving the event's brand direction. You will act as the bridge connecting diverse fandoms—from anime studios and mobile gaming giants to voice actors and vTubers—to unforgettable moments.\n This role requires a culture-savvy strategist who lives and breathes anime, video games, and pop culture. You will anticipate industry trends before they go mainstream, tracking fan behaviors and online culture to position ANIME Impulse as a first-mover in new content and fandom experiences. Your work will directly influence how fans think, engage, and share, ensuring the event remains authentic and innovative.
To apply, please send your resume and a short cover letter. We also encourage you to include a brief paragraph or a link showcasing a favorite programming concept, guest lineup, or pop culture partnership idea you have seen—or would love to make happen.
Join a passionate, creative team that celebrates innovation, authenticity, and fandom culture every single day. You will have the unique opportunity to create the future of anime and pop culture conventions rather than just following trends. This role offers the chance to work directly with leading IPs, studios, and creators from both East and West, fostering a dynamic environment where structure meets spontaneity.
