Location: anywhere, as long as you can be available 2pm – 6pm BST / GMT for meetings

Start Date: mid-September

Position Overview:

Help us develop and implement a crowdfunding campaign for a new board game.

Pluto Press is a radical independent publisher. We’ve been publishing books for 55 years. Now we want to publish a board game with one of our favourite authors, Max Haiven. Max and his team at RiVAL have been developing Billionaires & Guillotines for a couple of years, and it’s time to launch. We’re launching the crowdfunder for our first board game in November 2024. You’ll be the only person fully dedicated to this project, so you’ll need to herd the rest of us. You’ll need to be super-organized and flexible. You’ll have a small promotional budget and access to the Pluto Press mailing list. You’ll be working closely with Max (B&G game developer) and the Pluto Press team.
