Marketing Manager & Graphic Designer

LimboLane is a small multidisciplinary team making narrative games. Our previous titles are Smile For Me, Great God Grove, and FACE LOVE Deluxe.

We are looking for a combined social media / marketing manager (primary) and graphic designer (secondary). Your responsibilities will be marketing strategy, asset creation, community management, and additional UI / UX assistance. We are looking for someone creative, self-directed, and deeply knowledgeable. Social media marketing should be your bread and butter. We want you to feel ownership over the brand and our upcoming title.
