Our 0-to-1 teams focus on building, experimenting, and validating new game concepts.

You will operate as the General Manager of our growth business unit, with end-to-end responsibility for commercial performance, product development, live operations, user acquisition, and the multidisciplinary teams required to scale and operate successful live games.\nWe are looking for a commercially driven leader who combines deep mobile gaming expertise, strong product instincts, analytical rigor, and the ability to build and lead high-performing teams.\nRequirements\n1. Business Unit Leadership & P&L Ownership\nOwn the commercial performance and strategic direction of mobile titles transitioning from validation into scale.\nTake full accountability for revenue, profitability, growth, and long-term product performance.\nEstablish ambitious but sustainable growth plans, operating budgets, and financial targets.\nAllocate capital and resources across titles based on commercial potential, scalability, and expected returns.\nBuild, structure, and lead a multidisciplinary business unit capable of operating multiple live titles at scale.\nEstablish clear accountability, performance management, and execution frameworks across all functions.\n2. Growth Strategy & User Acquisition\nDevelop and execute comprehensive growth strategies to scale proven titles into substantial revenue-generating businesses.\nOwn user acquisition strategy, budgets, creative performance, and channel diversification.\nDrive profitable UA expansion through rigorous management of ROAS, LTV, CAC, retention, and payback periods.\nBuild scalable creative testing and performance marketing operations.\nIdentify opportunities to expand into new markets, audiences, and acquisition channels.\nBalance aggressive growth objectives with sustainable unit economics and profitability.\n3. Product Strategy & Live Operations\nOwn the ongoing product strategy and roadmap for all titles within the growth portfolio.\nLead live operations, including events, content updates, progression systems, economy balancing, and player engagement initiatives.\nContinuously improve retention, engagement, monetization, and lifetime value through data-driven product optimization.\nDrive experimentation across gameplay systems, monetization mechanics, offers, and player experiences.\nIdentify and prioritize product improvements that unlock additional growth potential.\nEnsure games remain competitive, engaging, and commercially successful throughout their lifecycle.\n4. Development & Operational Excellence\nOversee the development, engineering, QA, and maintenance functions supporting live titles.\nEstablish efficient release cycles, development roadmaps, and operational processes.\nBalance new feature development with technical stability, performance, and maintenance requirements.\nEnsure development resources are focused on initiatives with the greatest measurable business impact.\nBuild an organization capable of maintaining high operational standards while scaling multiple products simultaneously.\n5. Data, Analytics & Commercial Optimization\nEstablish a comprehensive performance framework across acquisition, engagement, retention, monetization, and profitability.\nLeverage cohort analysis, predictive LTV models, experimentation, and advanced analytics to guide investment decisions.\nIdentify growth constraints and work across functions to systematically remove them.\nDevelop reliable forecasting, performance reporting, and decision-making processes.\nBuild a culture where product and commercial decisions are grounded in measurable outcomes.\n6. Team Building & Leadership\nRecruit, develop, and lead exceptional talent across growth, UA, product management, live operations, analytics, and development.\nBuild a highly accountable, commercially focused culture that emphasizes ownership and execution.\nDevelop strong functional leaders capable of independently managing their teams and delivering against ambitious objectives.\nEstablish effective collaboration between the early-stage development organization and the growth business unit.\nCreate repeatable operating systems that enable the organization to scale additional titles efficiently.\nWhat We’re Looking For\nEssential Experience\nSignificant senior leadership experience within the mobile gaming industry, ideally in free-to-play, casual, or hybrid-casual games.\nDemonstrated success scaling mobile games from early commercial validation to meaningful revenue and profitability.\nProven experience owning or materially influencing the P&L of successful live mobile games.\nDeep understanding of mobile gaming economics, including user acquisition, ROAS, LTV, retention, engagement, and monetization.\nStrong experience managing cross-functional teams spanning product, marketing, development, analytics, and live operations.\nA track record of successfully scaling user acquisition investment while maintaining disciplined financial performance.\nStrong understanding of free-to-play game systems, player behavior, game economies, and live operations.\nExperience building organizations, establishing processes, and managing senior functional leaders.\nLeadership & Personal Attributes\nCommercially minded: Thinks like a business owner, not simply a functional leader.\nHighly analytical: Comfortable making significant investment and product decisions using data, forecasting, and experimentation.\nProduct-oriented: Understands what makes mobile games successful and how to improve their long-term performance.\nExecution-focused: Able to translate strategy into measurable outcomes through effective teams and operating systems.\nEntrepreneurial: Comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment with substantial autonomy and accountability.\nStrategic but hands-on: Capable of setting long-term direction while remaining close enough to the business to identify opportunities and solve problems.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nYour success will be measured by your ability to build a repeatable, profitable growth engine for our mobile game portfolio.\nKey outcomes include:\nRevenue & Profitability: Sustained growth in revenue, contribution margin, and overall business unit profitability.\nProfitable Scaling: Significant increases in UA investment and player acquisition while maintaining attractive unit economics.\nProduct Performance: Measurable improvements in retention, LTV, monetization, and long-term player engagement.\nOperational Excellence: Reliable live operations, efficient development execution, and high-quality product maintenance.\nPortfolio Growth: Successfully transitioning validated titles into scalable, commercially successful live businesses.\nOrganizational Leadership: Building an exceptional team capable of independently operating and scaling multiple games.\nBenefits\nWhy This Opportunity?\nThis role offers the opportunity to lead a critical part of our mobile gaming business with substantial ownership, autonomy, and direct commercial impact.\nUnlike traditional publishing or user acquisition leadership positions, this role provides complete ownership of the growth lifecycle, from taking over validated products to building and operating substantial live-game businesses.\nYou will work with titles that have already demonstrated promising product-market fit and commercial potential, allowing you to focus on what you do best: turning successful early-stage games into major businesses.\nBenefits\nMarket-competitive compensation\nPaid Time Off\nPerformance Bonus\nAnnual Performance
