Role Description
This is a remote, founding-stage opportunity with GameXcel for someone who wants to help build the company's studio partnerships from the ground up.
You’ll be responsible for helping GameXcel build its studio customer base from the ground up — identifying game studios, reaching out to decision-makers, introducing them to GameXcel, and turning interested studios into active users. You’ll work directly with the founder and take ownership of the studio acquisition and onboarding process, from first outreach through activation.
Responsibilities
- Identify and prospect game studios, indie developers, publishers, and relevant gaming companies
- Build and manage a pipeline of potential GameXcel studio customers
- Conduct outreach through LinkedIn, email, gaming communities, and other channels
- Introduce GameXcel and communicate its value to studio teams
- Run discovery calls and product demos
- Recruit Founding Studios to GameXcel
- Help studios get onboarded and launch their first playtests/campaigns
- Follow up with studios and build long-term relationships
- Gather feedback from studios and share insights with the founder/product team
- Help develop repeatable outreach and partnership processes as GameXcel grows
