Event Manager Wanted in Tokyo | photo poster project

photo poster project is a photo poster exhibition anyone can join simply by choosing a city and date. As of November 2026, it has grown to 28 cities around the world. We’re now looking for a new community manager to help us build Tokyo’s creator community.

photo poster project (ppp) is more than a photo exhibition. It’s a community where everyone can feel comfortable sharing their story and where photography brings creators together in person.

Our community staff make that space possible by looking out for every participant. Whether someone is exhibiting for the first time or catching up with friends they haven’t seen in a while, the whole team works together to create a place where everyone can be themselves.

We’re looking for a manager who can play a central role in the Tokyo community and help grow ppp with the rest of the team. No particular career background or previous experience is required. What matters most is your passion for the project and belief in what it stands for. If you love photography and meeting people, or want to support someone else’s creative expression, why not help us create new connections in Tokyo?
