Job description

A rare entrepreneurial opportunity to create something legendary from the ground up—and we want you in the room.

Minimum commitment : 20 hours / week. If that’s not realistic for you, this isn’t the right fit. No hard feelings—we respect clarity.

We are offering an equity partner role, not a traditional salaried position. That means :

• No upfront cash compensation
• Equity (shares) plus potential future token-based rewards (pending legal clearance)
• Future salary unlocked by revenue milestones
• Remote-first, async-friendly, autonomy-heavy global team

Why Join Anime Universe?

At Anime Universe, we’re building the future of entertainment and work culture at the same time. As a Senior HR Project Manager, you’ll help shape how our global team operates—from onboarding and compensation models to equity systems, leadership programs, and cultural rituals.

This role puts you at the center of it all. You’ll lead the delivery of high-impact, cross-functional people projects that influence every lane, core, and partner in our ecosystem. You won’t just help scale operations—you’ll help scale human potential across the company.

Role Overview

As Senior HR Project Manager, you’ll be the key driver behind HR program execution, cross-team alignment, and system rollout across Anime Universe. You’ll take vision and turn it into reality—ensuring the infrastructure behind performance, rewards, onboarding, and growth runs with clarity, speed, and consistency.

What You'll Own

Project Execution :

• Lead sprint-to-sprint delivery of key HR programs and systems
• Define milestones, manage timelines, and resolve execution blockers across all people-related initiatives
• Maintain velocity, transparency, and accountability across complex, cross-core HR launches

Strategic Coordination :

• Collaborate with leadership, scribes, and stakeholders to align on deliverables and timelines
• Drive progress across onboarding, compensation, culture, and development initiatives
• Host retrospectives, lead updates, and keep contributors aligned

Documentation & Systemization :

• Own and maintain structured project documentation, milestones, and decisions
• Ensure documentation, process flows, and templates are systematized and repeatable
• Track KPIs and progress using structured dashboards and tools

Process Optimization :

• Champion Anime Universe’s frameworks (Ebb & Flow, Catalyst Ignition) to structure work effectively
• Continuously refine execution rituals and delivery workflows
• Drive improvements that help teams move faster with less friction

What You Bring to the Table

Project Management Mastery :

• Proven success executing HR or people-centric initiatives with structure and urgency
• 5+ years in project management, operations, or people program delivery (ideally within high-growth companies)

Execution Fluency :

• Strong organizational skills—you balance short-term detail with long-term goals
• Able to break down complex objectives into actionable workflows and timelines

HR & People Systems Acumen :

• Familiar with HRIS tools, performance systems, equity tracking, onboarding flows, and people ops cycles—especially in startups
• You’ve helped deploy or optimize internal people platforms or talent systems
• You’re fluent in tools like Notion, Asana, Slack, Miro, and GDrive
• Bonus if you’ve created dashboards or implemented sprint planning systems

Independent Drive & Cross-Functional Agility :

• You know how to align product, legal, creative, and HR to deliver big outcomes
• You’re calm under pressure, clear in communication, and bias toward progress

Bonus Points For

• PMP, Agile Project Management, or Lean Certification
• Experience with HRIS tools like BambooHR, Lattice, Rippling, or Gusto
• Familiarity with equity or token-based compensation models
• Background launching or scaling people systems in creative, entertainment, or anime-adjacent environments

How We’ll Know You’re Crushing It

• HR programs and systems are launched on time and aligned across teams
• Contributors feel clear, supported, and able to thrive inside fast-moving projects
• Project documentation is trusted and adopted across teams
• Bottlenecks get resolved fast, and cross-functional syncs flow smoothly
• The people-side of the company scales as confidently as the product side
