What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This isn’t just a title—it’s a stake. You’ll own the people-growth engine at Anime Universe, driving coaching, training, performance management, and talent development from Day 1.

Why This Role Matters

We’re building a Leadership Engine, not a traditional HR function. You’ll craft the frameworks and programs that turn ambition into achievement, embed our core values into every ritual, and empower our global, async-native team to operate at peak performance.

What You’ll Own

Performance Architecture

  • Define, track, and optimize talent-health KPIs (readiness scores, skill-gap closure, coaching ROI)
  • Design data-driven performance rituals: quarterly growth sprints, pulse surveys, performance showcases

Coaching & Training Frameworks

  • Build and certify an internal coach-of-coaches network
  • Lead 1:1, group, and cohort-based executive & HiPo coaching programs
  • Architect learning academies: leadership bootcamps, manager certification, technical upskilling labs
  • Curate external partnerships for specialized master-classes and certifications (e.g., CPTD, ICF-PCC, SHRM-SCP)

Talent Development & Career Pathing

  • Design contributor→leader→equity-partner progression roadmaps with clear milestones
  • Implement HiPo acceleration cohorts, mentorship circles, and succession pipelines
  • Ensure all development plans align with Anime Universe’s mission, strategy, and ownership model

How You’ll Collaborate

  • Partner with HR, People Ops, and business leaders to diagnose skill gaps and prioritize programs
  • Work alongside Culture & Engagement teams to integrate coaching and training into day-to-day rituals
  • Liaise with Finance and Legal on equity and token-based incentive structures

What You Bring

  • 10+ years in performance management, learning & development, or executive coaching
  • Proven track record designing and scaling coaching & training programs in distributed, async-native environments
  • Strong analytical skills—experienced with talent analytics, dashboards, and measurement frameworks
  • Exceptional facilitation, storytelling, and change-management capabilities
  • Deep empathy, emotional intelligence, and passion for building people-first cultures
  • Bonus: experience with equity-partner models, token-based rewards, or creative/technical hybrid teams

Compensation & Perks

  • Equity: Founding-Equity Partner shares
  • Token Rewards: Pending legal clearance
  • Salary: Unlocked via revenue milestones
  • Culture: Remote-first, async-native, autonomy-rich
