The Opportunity
Own Arkadium's consumer games business end-to-end as a true General Manager. You'll have full P&L accountability, report to the CEO, and lead the strategy across portfolio development, platform expansion, and growth—both organic and inorganic.
This is a hands‑on leadership role. You'll work alongside a capable team and set the bar for what excellence looks like across game development, distribution, monetization, and outstanding execution.
What You’ll Own
- P&L & Commercial Strategy: Full ownership of consumer games revenue (ads, subscriptions, mtx, and distribution partnerships)
- Portfolio & Game Development: Define what we build, license, and retire—across first‑party, second‑party, and third‑party titles
- Platform & Product: Drive the arkadium.com product roadmap, engagement features, retention mechanics, monetization, and UX
- New Platforms: Lead our expansion into new and emerging distribution channels (i.e., mobile apps, Instant Games, Reddit, etc.)
- Inorganic Growth: Shape our M&A strategy—studio partnerships, IP deals, catalog acquisitions
- Team Development: Lead director‑level talent across Games, Platform, Creative, and Analytics
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
- VP/GM/Head of Studio experience with direct P&L ownership in consumer games
- Proven track record shipping quality games that retain players and drive revenue (casual/mid‑core preferred)
- Experience owning or overseeing a consumer‑facing web platform or gaming website
- Deep expertise in ad‑monetized models and player‑first product decisions
- Experience leading multidisciplinary teams across design, product, creative, and analytics
- Strong conviction about what makes games worth playing
Preferred
- Web casual game experience, especially with 35+ audiences
- Platform expansion experience (mobile, social platforms, new distribution)
- Comfort building for players who value craft and quality over trends
Why This Role Matters
You’ll shape the future of a beloved brand at an inflection point—where strategic discipline meets real growth opportunity. If you’re energized by P&L ownership, platform‑level thinking, and building teams that ship great games, let’s talk.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation with structured performance and career development check‑ins
- Health insurance
- Additional budget for conferences you are interested in
- Personal development budget to fuel your passions and desire to learn (Arkadians are taking classes in not only Excel and leadership, but also interior design and even swimming!)
- Time off from Christmas Eve through New Year's Day so we can all enjoy the holidays
- A unique culture of transparency, true teamwork and fun
- Summer Fridays: Fridays off throughout the summer to have more fun in the sun!
Work Location & Hybrid Model (Portugal)
- In Portugal, we operate under a hybrid work model that blends remote and in‑office work. Employees may work from home or from the office depending on team and individual needs, ensuring both flexibility and strong collaboration.
- If you reside in the Lisbon metropolitan area: you will be expected to work onsite one to three times per week. If you are based outside of Lisbon: a different onsite cadence will apply.
