Well, as everyone was saying at New York Comic-Con, the last days of DC in New York are dwindling down to months, and expect a TON of jobs to start opening up in Burbank — although I’m also told that some of the contract folks already in place in Burbank are not being renewed, especially in the digital realm.
But there are some pretty sweet jobs opening up! The manufacturing job sounds like the one Alison Gill had, so I guess she’s staying in NYC. As far as I know, the two sales VPs will report to Derek Maddalena, who is SVP of sales and bus dev.
Please note you need 15 years of comic book experience to apply for the direct sales VP.
