Read from Siliconera:

The Pokemon Company is looking for an archivist to create an “internal The Pokemon Company International Company Archive and Museum.” As the archivist, your job will be to develop a company archive to catalog all pieces of lore, both in-game and out. This will include all eight (nine, if you include Scarlet and Violet) generations of games and span around 1,000 species of Pokemon.

The Pokemon archivist will need to create both physical and digital archives. They will also need to provide a “descriptive metadata schema” so that others can search through them. This data bank will encompass the games, anime, movies, and trading card game. Since this is a “museum,” the archivist will need to acquire “artifacts” such as cards. You likely will not need to include all of the Pokemon-related goods or jewelry that other companies have released. Lastly, you will have to create a security protocol.


The annual pay for this position will be between $77,000 and $118,000. While it is not a requirement, the job listing does state that The Pokemon Company would prefer someone with a Bachelor’s Degree in Library Science, Archives Management, Information Management, or another similar field. You will need 3-4 years of related professional experience.
 
I hate it when they say they are looking for experience and pay good money, but it's all about Pokemon metadata.
