This role acts as a central coordination point between external developers, internal stakeholders, and player communities to help maximize the long-term value of investment and publishing relationships. The position requires wearing multiple hats across investment, publishing, marketing, and community functions, with a focus on execution, alignment, and relationship building rather than development delivery or strategic ownership.
