[Hiring] Business Development Director @remote control productions GmbH

Role Description

We need a dealmaker who opens doors at the top table and brings the close home. You take over the relationships our CEO built over 20 years, and you build your own. No team to manage. A direct line to the CEO.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Open doors at the right level: Director and VP+ at large publishers and platforms, CEO level at smaller publishers, plus project financiers, games investors and fast-growing self-publishing developers
• Pitch and sell projects from the rcp family: original IP, co-development and work-for-hire
• Hold terms to the close. When a deal doesn’t fit, rethink it instead of forcing it
• Own our presence at D.I.C.E., GDC and Gamescom: the plan, the meetings, the follow-ups
• Take over and grow our relationships with first-party platforms, major publishers and tool providers
• Be the senior sparring partner for our Biz team: review deal rationales, mentor, keep commitments visible
• Bring what you hear in the market back into the group

Qualifications

• A seat in the circles where games deals happen: D.I.C.E., GamesBeat, or their equivalents in LA and Asia. Established, or clearly on your way in
• Relationships at Director or VP level and above, across more than one segment: publishers, platforms, investors or tool providers
• At least one deal in the last three years that you originated or led to the close
• A confident presence in front of C-level. Quick and sharp
• Drive. You set your own goals and get things done through people, without direct reports
• Readiness to travel a lot, and the energy to enjoy it
• A real feel for entertainment. You play games
• Business-fluent English. German is a bonus

Requirements

• Experience with funding, licensing or joint ventures
• You’ve sat on both sides of the table, developer and publisher
• You’ve worked in an owner-led company
• You already use AI for research, prep and follow-ups

Benefits

• Real influence: a direct line to the CEO and a voice in group strategy
• Where it can go: stay the face of rcp, lead one of our partner studios, or help make our own games
• Fixed salary, no commission. You’re paid to build the right deals, not to push the most deals through
• A family of game makers across three continents
• Remote within Europe or North America on European hours, or our office in the heart of Munich, with relocation support if you want it
• Health coaching with OLAO HEALTH. In Munich: Deutschlandticket, a games library and team events
