Publishing Manager - South Korea

About Voodoo

We are a global mobile games publisher specialized in hybrid-casual and casual games, working with top-performing studios worldwide. Our mission is to identify, develop, and scale games with strong global potential by combining product excellence, data-driven decision making, and deep local market expertise.

In South Korea, one of the most advanced and competitive gaming markets in the world, we are opening a single, highly strategic Publishing Manager position to build and own our local publishing operations from the ground up.

Team

You will be the sole Publishing Manager based in South Korea, working in close collaboration with our global publishing, product, and analytics teams.

The role is fully autonomous once onboarded. You will receive local support at the beginning to help you connect with studios and navigate the ecosystem, but this is fundamentally a builder role, designed for someone comfortable operating independently at a very senior level.

The position can be based in Seoul or Busan, with a strong on-the-ground presence expected. Remote work is possible for internal coordination, but local market engagement is essential.

Role

As Senior Publishing Manager, you will:

• Act as the local face of the company in South Korea, representing us with studios, partners, and key industry stakeholders.

• Build and maintain a high-quality network of South Korean game studios, with a strong focus on long-term partnerships.

• Work closely with selected studios on game ideation, prototyping, and iteration, from early concepts to global scale.

• Fully own the publishing lifecycle of multiple titles, including soft launch, global launch, live operations, and scaling.

• Lead product strategy, roadmap definition, and P&L ownership for your portfolio.

• Launch multiple games per year and drive their performance using data, market insights, and product intuition.

• Serve as a key decision-maker in publishing strategy, with direct impact on revenue and growth.

Profile

• At least 5 years of professional experience in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment such as:

• Top-tier management consulting

• Investment banking

• Leading tech companies (for example Amazon, Google, or similar big tech)

• High-performing startups in gaming or consumer tech

• A strong track record of independent ownership and decision-making.
