Comic Book Jobs: Who’s Hiring? Marvel Comics




Posted by Tom Mason Categories: Editorials, Marvel Comics,

Odin is back at it again, looking for new people in non-editorial functions for their New York office.

First up: Customer Service Coordinator, which sounds much better than “Email Secretary,” but not as good as, say, “Digital Communications Coordinator.”

Your job here is to handle incoming emails and either answer them or route them to the correct departments, retrieve and send forgotten passwords to hapless Marvel.com subscribers, handle opt out requests, and issue reports based on the emails that you handle. There are a lot of other little tech-based things you’ll be doing, but if you’ve had some decent online experience, it’s probably nothing you can’t handle, right? Also, it puts you inside the Marvel office, and who knows what that can lead to.

Their second job opening is a little less techy and a little more old-school: Advertising Assistant/Coordinator.You’ll be generating “reports on ad revenue, inventory and campaign performance…executing internal online campaigns…troubleshooting problems…” and working on presentations, proposals, sell sheets and research projects.

Naturally, they have some requirements, and advertising experience would be somewhat helpful. And that’s not a bad gig, by the way. Peter David started out in Marvel’s Direct Sales department and look what happened to him.

As always, Marvel recognizes that their characters, no, I mean their people, are their most valuable asset and they boast a “competitive salary and benefits package,” that includes a 401K, cash bonus, dental and medical insurance and nifty old world stuff like that. Plus you’ll be working in Manhattan heading into the fall, and how bad can that really be?

Good luck job seekers!
