Voice Acting Coordinator (Japanese Native)

Role Overview

StoryCo is looking for a Voice Acting Coordinator to join our globally distributed team. In this role, you will coordinate the end-to-end voice production process for our video and motion comic adaptations, working closely with script specialists, voice agencies, and internal creative teams to bring characters and stories to life.

You’ll be at the center of the voice production workflow — coordinating people, timelines, and deliverables, ensuring scripts and recordings are ready on time, quality standards are met, and any production issues are resolved smoothly.

This position is ideal for a highly organized and proactive coordinator who is a native Japanese speaker with excellent English communication skills — someone who enjoys working across creative teams, can manage multiple moving parts, and takes ownership of delivering high-quality work in a fast-paced production environment.

This role is fully-onsite in Ho Chi Minh City and fully remote for candidates based elsewhere in Vietnam or Japan.
