Marketing Manager; Minecraft

A Bit About Us

Gamemode One was founded 8 years ago to do things right in the Minecraft gaming space - especially doing right by our staff, and right by our players. We care deeply about our vibrant company culture, which enables us all to do our best work. We are looking to scale to meet our full potential, while continuing to prioritize staff‑wellbeing, and make excellent games.

In our growing organization, you’ll lead marketing strategy and execution for our Minecraft portfolio, while managing and supporting the marketing team’s processes, quality, and growth. You’ll own release marketing plans, driving initiatives across internal resources, approvals, deadlines, and campaign beats.

You’ll bring your knowledge of marketing strategy, campaign execution, people leadership, stakeholder management, and gaming communities, including Minecraft. You’ll partner with production, leadership, project teams, and external partners to align marketing plans with release goals, support asset and copy approvals, and strengthen how marketing and production work together. You won’t just be working on great products, but actively building a strong marketing impact that reaches players with consistency and care.

This role is listed at an experience level of “Manager/Supervisor”. We know that this can mean something different across employers. For us, this means we are looking for someone who already has marketing strategy, campaign execution, and people leadership experience that they can contribute to the role. This may be a mix of personal and professional experience. We are looking for someone who will be confident in setting direction, supporting direct reports, making clear recommendations, and coordinating work across internal and external partners.

You will have a meaningful impact on how our products reach players, how our marketing team grows, and how Gamemode One shows up in the Minecraft space. This is likely not the role for you if you are looking for a highly directed role, a role focused only on execution, or your first chance to learn the basics of marketing leadership.
