WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re building Spicy Koala, Yodo1’s PC publishing label, and we’re looking for the leader to build it. As Head of Publishing, you’ll own our PC publishing efforts end to end: the strategy, the launches, the pipeline, and the team.

You’ll define what kind of publisher Spicy Koala becomes and prove it by shipping successful games - part strategist, part operator, part dealmaker. You’ll set the long-term direction while rolling up your sleeves to establish the business, launch the titles already on our slate, and play a part in deciding the ones that come next.

You are:

• Focused on impact. You understand the 80/20 rule and focus on activities that matter.

• Performance-driven and growth-oriented. You have an intrinsic will to succeed while unafraid to try, fail, and learn by experimenting with new approaches and testing ideas.

• Cooperative. You help others succeed; you give and receive feedback well.

• Relentlessly curious. You ask questions.

• Humble. You ask for help; you are quick to admit and learn from your mistakes.

• SMART. You work and communicate in ways that are Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

WHAT WE EXPECT

You will:

• 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 already on our slate: store presence and wish-listing, marketing, community, PR, platform relations, and launch execution.

• Build the team. Identify the roles we need, 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, setting and delivering against revenue and profitability targets

• Manage platform and external partners, including storefronts (Steam, Epic, GOG), console platform holders, and partners across marketing, localization, porting, and PR.

You must have:

• 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

• A strong business and P&L mindset, and the ability to make decisions based on sound data analysis and careful prioritization

• Experience building and leading teams

• A strong network of developers

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, and the ability to motivate teams across multiple countries and time zones.

You might have:

• Experience building or scaling a publishing label or new business from scratch

• Console publishing experience (PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo) alongside PC

• Experience with live-service or games-as-a-service titles on PC
