About the Role
~1 min readWEBTOON is becoming the home for Marvel and Disney comics — a new subscription app where fans read, collect, and stay connected to the stories and characters they love. We're building the definitive destination for Marvel/Disney IP, and we're looking for a Head of Marketing to own how we grow it in the US market.
This role reports directly to the Head of U.S. New Initiatives, and leads the full marketing function: strategy, execution, team, and budget. You'll work closely with Product, Ops, and Business Strategy — and directly with Disney/Marvel stakeholders.
The core of the job is subscriber growth and retention. Beyond that, it's about making sure WEBTOON earns its place as the go-to home for Marvel fans — not just through paid spend, but through the communities, creators, and cultural moments that matter to this audience.

Identify and activate the creators, influencers, and community leaders who carry genuine credibility with the Marvel/comics audience — across TikTok, YouTube, podcasts, Reddit, Discord, Facebook groups, and beyond

Manage the Disney/Marvel brand relationship on a day-to-day basis: approvals, compliance with brand guidelines, and long-term partnership health
-
Drive fan engagement through conventions (NYCC, SDCC, and regional events) and coordinated on-the-ground activations
-
Develop affiliate and co-marketing relationships with complementary subscription businesses and entertainment brands
- 10+ years in marketing, with at least 3 years in a team or functional leadership role
