Comic Book Jobs: Who’s Hiring? Marvel And Electronic Arts

Marvel Studios is at it again. This is at least their third job listing in two weeks. Either people are leaving – which seems doubtful – or they’re growing, which given the number of movie and TV projects they have in development and production seems the more likely explanation.

Marvel Studios, the entertainment entity of Marvel Comics and part of the overall Disney Empire is looking for a Senior Accountant for their Manhattan Beach, CA office.

The successful employee will be “focusing on the corporate side of the business (as opposed to our one accountant who is dedicated to supporting productions) based in LA supporting NY based accounting efforts and LA based tracking and analytical efforts.” Whew!

Comic Book Jobs: Who’s Hiring? Marvel Comics!

With DC’s rumored-to-be impending move to the West Coast, they certainly aren’t in a hiring phase (they’ll be in a shedding phase). But the sole remaining big-time comic book company in New York still looks for people to join the Marvel Employment Universe.

First up, mighty Marvel is looking for a Royalty Analyst for their Finance and Licensing Department in New York. It’s a data-entry gig where you get to “collect and analyze detailed royalty reporting and forecasts.” You’ll also be checking over contracts and how they impact royalty reporting, and working with “worldwide licensee accounting maintenance.”

This is a great entry-level opp for someone just out of college in the past couple of years. And if you “possess a keen willingness to learn, analyze and desire to enhance the licensing business team of Marvel” you could find a new post-college home.

On the opposite coast, Marvel Studios is looking for a System Administrator in their Manhattan Beach offices.

My favorite superhero cartoons are the DC ones from Warner Bros. where Bruce Timm and friends are at the helm. In fact, if someone just put a show on the air called “Bruce Timm & Friends,” I’d watch it. But the Marvel Comics cartoons have made vast improvements over the years and while I’m outside of the target audience these days, my sons get a kick out of them. Now the Marvel Studios down in Manhattan Beach, California are looking for some help.

In their Animation division, they need a Coordinator in Development and Production. It’s an entry-level deal, and you’ll be working across all of their shows (both regular series and DTV) and pitching in wherever support is needed. In the corporate world, this used to be referred to unofficially as a “floater.”

The job description has a lot of functions – it’s longer than anything you’ll be able to do in a full week – so just be satisfied knowing that you’ll be doing everything someone above you needs done from tracking, monitoring, researching, coordinating and stuff like that. One perk is that you’ll be hiring and managing interns and managing the search for key production and creative positions (which makes you my new best friend).
