The posting

WEBTOON Entertainment is a leading global entertainment company and home to some of the world's largest storytelling platforms. As the global leader and pioneer of the mobile webcomic format, WEBTOON Entertainment has transformed comics and visual storytelling for fans and creators.

With its CANVAS UGC platform empowering anyone to become a creator, and a growing roster of superstar WEBTOON Originals creators and series, WEBTOON Entertainment’s passionate fandoms are the new face of pop culture. WEBTOON Entertainment adaptations are available on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, Crunchyroll, and other screens around the world, and the company’s content partners include The Walt Disney Company, HYBE, and DC Comics, among many others.

We’re seeking a strategic and experienced Editor to take a key leadership role in shaping the creative and commercial success of WEBTOON Originals. This position requires a strong editorial vision, deep understanding of the webcomic medium, and the ability to identify and develop high-potential stories.

A successful Editor will be a strategic force and creative leader, consistently improving title performance through sophisticated editorial input, identifying and nurturing creators with breakout potential, and strengthening scalable editorial frameworks. You will contribute to a diverse and commercially strong Originals slate and demonstrate the leadership, collaboration, and creative problem-solving skills needed to elevate the entire Content organization.

Our Editors are responsible not only for managing a slate of titles but also for elevating overall editorial standards, mentoring assistant editors, and contributing to strategic content initiatives across the US Content division.

Key Responsibilities

  • Oversee and manage a slate of WEBTOON Original series, guiding them from pitch to launch and through ongoing production.
  • Provide targeted editorial direction focusing on:
  • Strong early-chapter momentum (fast-burn pacing).
  • Consistent chapter-level stickiness (hooks, cliffhangers).
  • Long-term story structure, character arcs, and audience retention.
  • Develop and maintain editorial best-practice frameworks, including evolving Bibles based on platform data, audience insights, and emerging trends.
  • Identify content risks early and propose actionable solutions to maximize title performance.
  • Work closely with creators to provide high-impact, actionable feedback with sensitivity and professionalism.
  • Support creators in building sustainable production systems, including buffer management, workflow planning, and long-term pacing strategy.
  • Champion the creator experience while balancing the platform’s editorial and business goals.
  • Continuously source for unique, diverse, and commercially promising stories that align with WEBTOON’s strategic goals.
  • Review pitches and conduct thorough evaluations using creative judgment plus data-informed analysis.
  • Partner with the Content Strategy team to identify gaps, explore new genres, and evaluate opportunities for flagship-potential titles.
  • Align editorial decisions with broader platform goals and corporate strategy.
  • Work closely with:
  • Content Strategy (data insights, sourcing strategy).
  • Marketing/GM (launch planning, FP strategy, growth opportunities).
  • Content Ops (hiatus planning, creator care).

Qualifications

  • 3+ years of editorial experience in webcomics fields (or similar digital narrative formats).
  • Strong understanding of vertical-scroll storytelling, pacing, and audience behavior.
  • Demonstrated ability to guide creators and deliver high-quality editorial feedback.
  • Exceptional communication, project management, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to interpret performance data and incorporate insights into editorial strategy.
  • Passion for WEBTOON, manga, manhwa, genre fiction, and digital storytelling.
  • Experience managing high-performing or breakout titles.
  • Familiarity with content production pipelines and creator workflows.
  • Understanding of platform-driven content businesses and monetization models (e.g., Fast Pass, ad-revenue, premium).
  • Cross-team collaboration experience in a fast-paced environment.
  • Korean or Japanese language familiarity is a plus but not required.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
