Publishing Evangelist - PC & Console

Kwalee is one of the world’s leading multiplatform game publishers and developers, with a growing PC and Console department of incredible pedigree that is on the hunt for great new titles to join Die by the Blade, Scathe, Wildmender and Robobeat. This role would be in our PC and Console department (PCC) with responsibility for global activity.

We have a team of talented people collaborating daily between our studios in Leamington Spa, Bangalore and Beijing, or on a remote basis from Turkey, Brazil, the Philippines and many more places, and we've recently acquired our first external studio, TicTales which is based in France. We have a truly global team making games for a global audience. And it’s paying off: Kwalee has recently been recognised with the Best Large Studio and Best Leadership awards from TIGA (The Independent Game Developers’ Association).

Founded in 2011 by David Darling CBE, a key architect of the UK games industry who previously co-founded and led Codemasters for many years, our team also includes veterans such as ex-developers Andrew Graham (Micro Machines) and Jason Falcus (NBA Jam) and publishing executive Max Everingham, alongside a growing and diverse team of global gaming experts. Everyone contributes creatively to Kwalee’s success, with all employees eligible to pitch their own game ideas on Creative Wednesdays, and we’re proud to have built our success on this inclusive principle. Could your idea be the next global hit?
