Part-Time | Remote | Commission-First | Executive Growth Opportunity
Build the company you'll tell stories about for the rest of your life.
Let's skip the corporate bullshit.
If you're looking for another executive title, another predictable salary, another board meeting where everyone nods at another PowerPoint presentation, you should probably stop reading now.
This isn't that job.
We're looking for someone who's already built revenue for someone else. Someone who's led teams, opened doors, closed partnerships, built systems, recruited talent, and quietly wondered, "What if I spent this much energy building something I actually believed in?"
Most people spend their careers making someone else's company more valuable.
We're looking for someone who's ready to help build one.
Who We Are
MageTCG isn't just another trading card game.
The cards are simply the first chapter.
Our mission is to restore real world gaming by helping local game stores thrive again, bringing people back around the table, and building a fantasy universe that grows far beyond cards into novels, comics, tabletop RPGs, licensed products, creator collaborations, live experiences, and whatever else this community dreams into existence.
We aren't trying to become another game.
We're trying to become a brand people grow up with.
Why This Role Exists
The hardest part is already behind us.
Without venture capital, a major publisher, or millions in advertising, we built an original trading card game from scratch, funded Kickstarter in roughly an hour, reached approximately 650% of our funding goal, built a community of more than 100,000 followers, an engaged newsletter of over 8,000 subscribers, launch retail partners, and a qualified pipeline of nearly 8,000 hobby retailers around the world.
We've proven people care.
Now we have to prove we can scale.
That's where you come in.
What You'll Build
Forget job descriptions.
You're building the commercial engine of the company.
That means developing retailer relationships, creating strategic partnerships, securing sponsorships, exploring licensing opportunities, refining our sales strategy, improving our systems, recruiting future sales leaders, and helping shape the business alongside the founder. Some days you'll be on the phone with a local game store. Other days you'll be negotiating with a sponsor, a distributor, or a brand that could change the trajectory of the company.
No two weeks will look the same.
That's exactly why the right person will love it.
Let's Address the Obvious
Yes, this is a commission-first role.
Not because we don't value great people. Because we do.
Every dollar we can responsibly keep inside the business today becomes another dollar invested into building something with a real chance to matter. We'd rather reward people for creating value than make promises we haven't earned the right to make yet.
As the company grows, our intention is for this role to grow with it into executive leadership. If you become instrumental in building this company, we're open to conversations about salary, equity, and long-term partnership when the timing and structure are right.
We're not looking for an employee.
We're looking for someone who wants to build.
Who This Is For
This is for someone who's built before.
Someone who knows that revenue isn't created by clever pitches. It's created by trust, relationships, relentless follow-through, and giving people a reason to believe.
You know how to lead without needing a title. You enjoy building systems as much as closing deals. You naturally attract talented people because you've earned their respect, not demanded it.
Experience in tabletop gaming is a bonus.
Building organizations is not.
One Last Thing
There's a quote that's often attributed to Steve Jobs:
"The people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do."
Whether or not he was the first to say it almost doesn't matter.
The idea does.
Because every company that has ever mattered was built by a handful of people who looked at the same world everyone else accepted and said, "I think there's a better way."
Maybe MageTCG becomes one of those companies.
Maybe it doesn't.
Nothing worth building comes with guarantees.
What I can promise is this.
We've already survived the stage where most startups die. The product exists. The community exists. The momentum exists. Now we're looking for someone who wants to help write the next chapter.
If you're looking for comfort and certainty, this isn't your opportunity.
But if you're looking for one more chance to build something extraordinary instead of simply managing someone else's success...
Let's talk.

Founder, MageTCG
