Headcanon Magazine: Brand Manager

Overview
Headcanon Magazine operates at the intersection of fan culture and critical writing, and its Brand Manager will be charged with translating editorial ideas into a coherent aesthetic and tonal presence. The role is collaborative and conceptual: working alongside the Editor-in-Chief, the Brand Manager curates visual media, engages with online conversations, and extends the magazine's intellectual concerns across platforms. This is not a conventional marketing post; it is a curatorial and interpretive one, requiring fluency in both the magazine's subject matter and the visual grammar of digital culture. The position is voluntary, with no fixed deliverables. That structure places the emphasis on initiative and sustained investment rather than a checklist of outputs. The magazine is looking for someone who is already embedded in fan communities and who can direct Headcanon's position within those contexts with nuance and authority. The Brand Manager will be expected to move fluidly between editorial, social media, and events, ensuring that each expression feels distinctly Headcanon. Because the role is remote and rolling, the successful candidate will likely be self-directed, comfortable with ambiguity, and capable of building systems where none are prescribed. The magazine's scope is international in its online reach, though its operational base is Australian. This is an opportunity for a practitioner who understands that brand is not a veneer but an extension of editorial vision—and who can articulate that vision across multiple registers.
