About
DSS Games creates games that are more fun than looking at your phone.
Over the past decade, DSS has built a highly successful portfolio of social and party games enjoyed by millions of consumers across North America. Following significant growth in its home market, the business is now investing in international expansion and is looking for its first Europe-based commercial hire to help lead that journey.
This is a rare opportunity to join a fast-growing, entrepreneurial business and play a defining role in shaping its future international success.
The Opportunity
Reporting directly to the Co-CEO, you will take ownership of developing and growing DSS Games' international business across Europe and other high-potential global markets.
You'll be responsible for identifying new distributor and publishing partners, negotiating commercial agreements, building market-entry strategies and growing long-term revenue through strategic partnerships. This is a true build role with significant autonomy, visibility and influence.
