About
Hi! My name is Manami, originally from Japan and currently based in Toronto, Canada.
I have professional experience in the television, entertainment, and streaming industries, both in Japan and Canada, having worked as a Content Distribution Coordinator, Marketing Assistant, and Account Manager. Through these roles, I developed a strong understanding of the entertainment industry, especially focusing on content workflows, client communication, and data-driven decision-making.
I currently work as an Account Manager at a post-production company, where I manage client relationships and coordinate projects. Alongside this role, I am actively seeking freelance opportunities where I can contribute my Japanese to English, English to Japanese translation skills, and organizational skills.
Experience
Account Manager with 7+ years of experience in media distribution and post-production, supporting broadcasters and global streaming platforms. Experienced in project coordination, client services, cross-functional collaboration, and operational process improvement. Strong background in SVOD/VOD workflows, vendor management, and client communication, both in Japanese and English.
