Job Description
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.

- 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.
