Brand Manager

Prismatika is a newly-founded, venture-backed indie publisher with a focus on the long-term development of indie game IPs. We’ve signed a number of titles – including our first announced title Fabular: Once upon a Spacetime – and are now building a core publishing team. We’re searching for a high-energy, creative, experienced brand manager with a love for indie games and those who make them.

Founders Steven Kovensky (CEO) and Eduardo Aparicio (CPO) recently left Humble Bundle after nearly 10 years. There they led business development and helped grow the business from its early days to its sale in 2017, and to a recent major milestone of $200m raised for charity – while generating much more than that for indie developers. They also launched and led Humble’s successful indie publishing business, Humble Games, until their departure to found Prismatika.
