About Dark Veil Studios LLC.,
We are a new studio focused on fantasy/adventure game and geek culture products specifically focused on ttrpg, board-game, and novel publishing.

We focus on creating the best buying experience for board game and TTRPG fans, excellent customer experience and top notch exclusive products.
We are currently a very small team focused on cultivating a great new IP, we need new team members to help us grow to become a major player in the gaming space. We are looking for someone to help usher the brand into even greater success by helping to create new products, while also expanding reach and optimizing connections with our IPs. In this role, your responsibilities will grow from connecting us with necessary partners and establishing relationships to - providing high level operations and sales tactics to push growth and volume while maintaining a positive cultural product to our audience.
This position compensation is still being worked out as we are a startup and the role would be incentivized by profit sharing and small compensation as part time to begin with. As our business increases, the position will be a leading player within our organization with salary and profit sharing. We know this role is extremely important and want to find exactly the right person to fill it--which means you probably have reservations on jumping into a new business startup and we get that. We currently have the tools for making great products but lack the ability to connect with the audience we need and know with the right fit we can provide stellar products at high volume numbers. We want to hire a team member we trust in this role to become a future leader of the business. We want you to help us make this company the next big thing in the industry.
