We're an indie game developer working on a pirate themed 2D roguelike strategy, turn-based game centered around ships, cannons, and exploring the seas. The player manages a shipyard, recruits crews, builds cannons, and battles rival ships in tactical combat. 

We're looking for a Marketing Manager to define and execute our go-to-market strategy, lead our marketing efforts, and help us connect with players around the world. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys building communities, developing campaigns, and shaping the identity of a game from early development through launch and beyond. In this role, you will closely work with the Producer and Creative Director.

About the Game

Our current project is a pirate-themed 2D roguelike strategy game built on Unity where players command multi-deck ships, recruit unique crew, and unleash tactical cannon battles on the high seas. Inspired by games like Monster Train and Slay the Spire, it blends turn-based tactical combat with the unpredictability of roguelike exploration. 

Responsibilities 

• Develop and own the game's marketing strategy from pre-announcement through launch and live operations if needed.

• Grow and engage the game's community across Discord, Steam, and social platforms.
• Manage relationships with content creators, streamers, press, and external partners.
• Support major beats including announcements, demos, playtests, festivals, and launch campaigns.
• Track campaign performance and use data to improve marketing effectiveness.
• Collaborate closely with the development team to communicate game updates and development progress.
• Help establish marketing processes and potentially manage future community or social media team members.

Requirements

• 3+ years of experience in game marketing, digital marketing, community management, or a related role.
• Having shipped indie games in the last 2 years. 
• Experience with Steam marketing and wishlists.
• Strong understanding of the games industry and player communities.
• Experience planning and executing marketing campaigns.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English.

Why Join?
