Job Description

Due to overwhelming out of state response, we feel we must explicitly say you must live or plan to live in Minnesota to be considered for this position. We'd love to be able to work with many of you, but this job is all encompassing, and relies on warehouse processing and mall help when not at conventions.

About Us: Fragmented Nostalgia connects fans with unique and nostalgic anime collectibles. We specialize in creating engaging, hands-on experiences for customers at anime and pop culture conventions across the United States.

The Opportunity: Are you passionate about anime and pop culture, especially Magical Girl series, Pokémon, and Digimon? Do you thrive on connecting with fellow fans and enjoy traveling? Fragmented Nostalgia is seeking dedicated and knowledgeable individuals to join our convention vending team. This role requires significant travel and a deep understanding of specific fandoms.

Core Responsibilities:

  • Travel to and from conventions across the US (driving required).
  • Set up, manage, and tear down convention booths efficiently.
  • Engage customers authentically, sharing your knowledge and passion for our curated merchandise.
  • Employ interactive sales techniques, demonstrating products and providing expert information.
  • Collaborate effectively and professionally with your booth teammates.
  • Continuously research and learn about the franchises and products popular with our clientele.

Essential Requirements (Non-Negotiable):

  • Extensive Fandom Knowledge: Deep, demonstrable knowledge of Magical Girl anime is the foundation of this role. Expertise in Sailor Moon, Cardcaptor Sakura/CLAMP works, Madoka Magica, Revolutionary Girl Utena, Mermaid Melody, and similar series is essential. Strong knowledge of Pokémon and Digimon is also required. Your ability to connect with fans through shared knowledge is critical.
  • Significant Travel: Commitment to being on the road for approximately 12-16 days per calendar month is mandatory. This requires a flexible lifestyle and genuine enjoyment of travel. Please seriously consider this travel requirement before applying. 
  • Customer Engagement & Sales: Proven ability to interact positively with customers, build rapport, and drive sales through knowledgeable enthusiasm.
  • Teamwork & Reliability: Must be a dependable team player capable of working collaboratively in a fast-paced environment.
  • Physical Ability: Capable of lifting/moving merchandise/booth components and standing for extended periods. Work days are often 10-12 hours, as dictated by the convention vendor hall hours. 
  • Valid Driver's License & Clean Driving Record: Required for travel duties.

Who You Are:

  • A highly motivated self-starter with a genuine passion for the specified anime and pop culture franchises.
  • An excellent communicator who enjoys talking with people about shared interests.
  • Adaptable and able to handle the dynamic environment of conventions.
  • Organized, reliable, and professional.

This is more than just a sales job; it's an opportunity to share your passion and expertise with a dedicated community while traveling the country.
