This role sits within Nexus Games, the studio behind Atlas Arena. Nexus Games is building systems to defend and advance human intelligence through games, education, and community. In a world shaped by automation and AI slop, we believe people need deeper challenges—not shortcuts. Atlas Arena is our first title.
Atlas Arena is a new kind of game—built to defend and advance human intelligence in an era dominated by AI. Our mission is to help people sharpen critical skills like adaptability, collaboration, communication, and critical thinking through play. The world doesn’t need more time-wasting games—it needs experiences that make people smarter, stronger, and more connected.
At the heart of Atlas is a competitive, team-based experience where players face abstract challenges in limited time windows. These challenges live inside The Arena, a daily set of levels within the broader game. Designed to be engaging but non-addictive, Atlas strengthens the most human skills in ways that feel cinematic, social, challenging, and meaningful.
We’re hiring a Head of Marketing / Growth to lead all consumer-facing growth for Nexus Games & Atlas Arena. You’ll build the entire player acquisition function—from go-to-market strategy to creative campaigns, community momentum, brand storytelling, influencer strategy, and more.
You’ll work directly with the CEO and help define how the world sees and hears Atlas. From Discord to TikTok, from a single tweet to a full launch campaign—you’ll be the mind and hands behind how we scale a bold challenge brand designed to counter AI slop, build intelligence, and spark community through games.
This role is for someone who has lived inside gaming culture, knows how to build and grow a movement, and is obsessed with execution. You’ll be supported by an internal Growth Specialist and empowered to build a team—but at the start, you’ll be the one rolling up your sleeves and doing the work.
We’re looking for someone who believes this work matters and understands how hard it is to go from zero to one. You’ll be one of our early hires—and a critical pillar of how we grow.
🎮 Culture-Driven, Gaming-Native
You understand how gamers think, talk, and move. You’ve been part of the scene—and you know how to build inside it, not around it.
🔥 High-Agency, Execution-Obsessed
You get shit done. You don’t over-plan. You move fast, learn faster, and leave excuses behind. You know what “go mode” feels like.
🚀 0→1 Startup Operator (Highly Preferred)
You’ve helped take something from idea to product to traction—and know what it means to build from scratch.
🧠 Mission-Aligned
You believe the world needs more challenge, more intelligence, and more meaning. You’ve seen what games and community can do to change people’s lives—and you want to do that at scale.
