We are looking for a highly energetic and proactive individual to plan, host, and execute anime-related events on a weekly basis. This includes both offline events (meetups, watch parties, tournaments) and online engagement activities (games, contests, community interactions).
This role requires complete ownership — from ideation to execution — along with the ability to represent Anime India as a confident and engaging event host.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Event Planning & Ideation
Plan weekly anime events (offline + online) with engaging formats like watch parties, quizzes, cosplay meets, tournaments, and community challenges. Continuously bring fresh ideas to improve engagement.
2. End-to-End Event Execution
Own the complete event lifecycle — concept, planning, venue/vendor coordination, promotion, execution, and post-event wrap-up — ensuring a seamless and high-quality experience.
3. Event Hosting & Community Engagement
Act as the event host and engage attendees through games, giveaways, contests, and live interactions while managing crowd flow and maintaining high energy.
4. Venue & Vendor Management

Stay updated with anime trends, releases, events, and community behavior in India, and use insights to improve event strategies.
10. Post-Event Analysis & Content Capture
Track event performance (attendance, engagement, feedback), identify improvements, and ensure content capture for marketing.
11. Operations, Logistics & Crisis Management
Manage timelines, stakeholders, and logistics efficiently. Handle last-minute issues (cancellations, vendor/technical problems, crowd situations) and ensure smooth execution under pressure.
