- Own KPIs (games live, revenue/daily player, engagement) and drive initiatives to improve them; report weekly
- Manage risk across game timelines: flag slippage early and drive mitigation and release management
- Scout new IP and channels (Discord, YouTube Playables, Telegram) for expansion
What we're looking for

- Shipped games end to end, managing both internal and external/outsourced teams

- Zero-cost comprehensive medical cover
- Ambitious, collaborative, genuinely fun team
