We’re working with a true indie publisher to help them find a Producer/Product Manager who’s fluent in Mandarin and a holds a deep love for video games.

As a Producer/Product Manager you’ll use your extensive knowledge to advise the developers and partners on upcoming releases, ensuring that projects stay on track and meet the agreed quality standards.

In addition, you’ll play a vital role in bridging cultural and linguistic gaps, ensuring seamless collaboration with Mandarin speaking developers, partners, and stakeholders.

The company has published over 100 indie titles to date across console/PC and handheld platforms, thanks to the global publishing and distribution networks they’ve established. Their values are integrity, hard work, loyalty and respect coupled with a desire to champion the creation and publishing of indie titles.

The publisher also has a refreshing approach to signing and releasing titles; the full team is involved in determining which titles are signed, and the publisher is focused on discovering the developers whose games deserve to be experienced!
