Your work will directly impact the future of our publishing pipeline and help shape our portfolio.

Key Responsibilities

Game Discovery & Evaluation

Proactively scout for new game titles across platforms, genres, and regions.

Attend industry events (virtually or in-person) and monitor online platforms to identify emerging talent and trends.

Conduct initial assessments of game quality, market potential, and developer fit, documenting your assessments in a way that brings the reader up to speed with the game.

Collaborate with cross-functional departmental heads (Production, Marketing and Sales) to gather input and support next steps.

Track and manage the progress of greenlit titles through onboarding and publishing milestones.

Maintain a robust pipeline of potential future products.

Build and nurture long-term relationships with developers and studios.

Keep detailed records of scouted titles, including status, feedback, and next steps.

Market Intelligence

Stay informed on industry trends, competitor activity, and player preferences.

Provide insights and recommendations to help shape publishing strategy.

Remain objective, data-driven, and unbiased toward the games you assess.

Qualifications & Skills

Strong understanding of game design, market trends, and player communities.

Excellent communication and presentation skills.

Ability to assess game potential both creatively and commercially, and to convince key stakeholders with data-backed recommendations.

Self-motivated and comfortable working independently in a remote environment.

A collaborative nature, ensuring that the departmental heads are always up to speed on the progress of the latest games being assessed.

Strong network within the indie and mid-tier development community is a plus.

What We Offer

Competitive salary and benefits.
