What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This is not a job. It’s a stake.

This is a rare entrepreneurial opportunity —a chance to create something legendary from the ground up, and we want you to be part of it.

We require a minimum of 20 hours per week , firmly and clearly. If that’s not realistic for you, we completely understand—but this role isn’t the right fit at this time.

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

• No upfront cash compensation.
• Equity (shares) and the possibility of future token-based rewards form the core of your compensation. These tokens are subject to legal approvals and currently hold no assigned financial value .
• Cash compensation will be introduced as we hit key revenue milestones.

This is a role for doers , builders , creatives , thinkers , problem solvers , engineers , and visionaries —for those who don’t just want a seat at the table, but want to help design it .

• For business builders , entrepreneurs, strategist and senior executives with prior success in startups. You are someone who has built from scratch and operated globally. Experienced with scaling and fast growth. Looking for those who have done it before. From 0$ to 100M$+ in revenues, you got scale, vision and common sense in your name. Looking for a servant leader extremely passionate about your craft who leads by doing and example, very high emotional intelligence, people skills and excellent communication.
• You will lead the charge for the external services and our revenues. Each VP will bring their expertise to drive, lead and take ownership over their department and specialized divisions.

Let us be absolutely clear.

We are building everything from the ground up. No systems exist yet. No templates. No third parties. No dependencies. We invent. We imagine. We create. The tools, the frameworks, the blueprints, the house, the language—it all starts here. With us. Together.

If you want in, this is the contract.

You will need to think for yourself. You will need to solve what hasn’t been solved. There is no instruction manual—we are the ones writing it. This is a calling for those who are ready to build. For true entrepreneurs. For creators of what doesn’t yet exist. And if that speaks to you— step forward. The work begins.

Overview

Anime Universe is seeking a Vice President of Operations who can bring structure to vision, velocity to strategy, and execution to a galaxy of moving parts. You’ll work directly with the COO and other core leaders to ensure we operate like the world-class ecosystem we’re building. You are the anchor to the creative storm. The executor who connects dream to delivery. You’ll help us go from planning to production, idea to implementation, and ambition to achievement.

What You’ll Own

• Architect and oversee operations systems and workflows across all core teams.
• Build out and manage project management frameworks , timelines, and accountability rhythms.
• Partner with Product, Legal, HR, and Studio leaders to align on resource allocation and progress tracking.

• Mentor and manage a team of project managers , coordinators, and cross-functional operators.
• Translate company goals into actionable roadmaps , operational dashboards, and measurable outcomes.
• Act as an extension of the COO— prioritize, unblock, and accelerate key initiatives.
• You will be responsible for operational delivery targets tied to project velocity, internal milestones, and departmental budget cadence—visible at the executive and board level.
