This role is based in Los Angeles and will work with a highly dispersed marketing team based in LA, Texas, the UK, Germany, and Montreal.

Why? After a few years of experimenting with earned, owned, and lite paid channels, we are ready to bring onboard a leader to take us to the next level of global growth, and write the next chapter of our paid growth story.

Our players are also passionate testers whose feedback directly results in improvements and enhancements to the game on an ongoing basis. We therefore need a savvy and thoughtful growth leader who understands that we're not just a product looking for users, but a growing digital movement seeking fellow gamers excited to help us build the next great sci-fi game.
