Qualifications
You bring at least eight years of leadership experience in game studios—such as Head of Studio, Executive Producer, or VP-level roles—with a history of managing producers or leads. You think deeply about player experience as the foundation of revenue, combining data fluency with a long-term mindset. Familiarity with the casual free-to-play landscape and evergreen game models is essential. Experience with Facebook Instant Games is beneficial. You lead by enabling others, using clear systems and empathy rather than top-down control.

Everyone’s voice matters, and innovation thrives in an environment where ideas are freely shared and challenged.
