About this role
About the Role Head of Publishing for Spicy Koala, Yodo1's PC publishing label. You'll own the strategy, launches, pipeline, and the team—from defining what kind of publisher Spicy Koala becomes to shipping successful PC titles that stand out. What You'll Do
- Set the strategy: define the vision, positioning, and business model for Spicy Koala — what we publish, who we publish for, and what makes us stand out as a PC publisher
- Establish the business: build the operational foundation — processes, budgets, P&L, tools, and partnerships — needed to run a publishing label from the ground up
- Launch our signed titles successfully: own the go-to-market for the games on our slate — store presence, marketing, community, PR, platform relations, and launch execution
- Build the team: identify needed roles, hire a high-quality founding team, and lead them as the label grows
- Own the numbers: take full P&L accountability for the publishing business, delivering against revenue and profitability targets
- Manage platform and external partners: storefronts (Steam, Epic, GOG), console platform holders, and partners across marketing, localization, porting, and PR What We're Looking For
- Extensive experience in leadership positions within game publishing, with experience fully owning PC (or PC/console) titles and a track record of successful launches
- A deep understanding of the PC publishing landscape — storefronts, wishlisting, launch marketing, community, and platform relations
- Experience owning and/or coordinating a game's full publishing stack: from marketing and go-to-market, to production and platform relations
- Experience identifying trends in the market around player appetite
