Game Lead / General Manager

RemoteLead

We are hiring a Game Lead / General Manager to take full ownership of one of our flagship titles — a game that has entertained players for over ten years and built a loyal global community — and lead it into its next decade of growth.

This is a general manager role, you'll own the game end to end. Your mandate is to protect what players love, sharpen the economics, and set the roadmap that carries the game into its next decade.

You are:

Focused on impact. You understand the 80/20 rule and focus on activities that matter.
Performance-driven and growth-oriented. You have an intrinsic will to succeed while unafraid to try, fail, and learn by experimenting with new approaches and testing ideas.
Cooperative. You help others succeed; you give and receive feedback well.
Relentlessly curious. You ask questions.
Humble. You ask for help; you are quick to admit and learn from your mistakes.
SMART. You work and communicate in ways that are Specific, Measurable, Actionable, Relevant, and Time-bound.

WHAT WE EXPECT

You will:

Own the P&L. Take full accountability for the revenue, profitability, and long-term health of the game, setting and delivering against ambitious financial targets.
Set the long-term vision and roadmap that carries the game into its next decade, balancing the core experience players love with the new features, content, and systems that drive fresh growth.
Set the live-ops strategy. Partner with your Live Ops Manager to set the live-ops strategy, shaping the events calendar, content cadence, and monetization approach.
Own the numbers deeply. Use retention, LTV, ARPDAU, cohort, and funnel analysis to surface opportunities and make sharp, data-driven prioritization calls.
Grow and retain the player base. Understand the community that has stayed for a decade, deepen their engagement, and bring in new players.
Lead the cross-functional team — including your Live Ops Manager, engineers, designers, QA, marketing, analytics, and community — setting clear objectives and creating the conditions for them to do their best work.
Manage external and platform partners, including platform holders, and IP or developer partners, to maximize the game’s potential.
Collaborate across the portfolio. Work with other Game Leads and the wider Yodo1 team to share playbooks and raise the bar on how we grow games.

You must have:

Extensive experience in mobile game production, live-ops, or publishing, with a track record of successful titles.
Direct experience owning or driving the growth of a live, revenue-generating game — ideally one past its initial launch phase.
Experience leading cross-functional teams.
A strong business and P&L mindset, and the ability to make decisions based on sound data analysis and careful prioritization.
Excellent communication and presentation skills. Ability to communicate clearly, concisely, and proactively with colleagues across multiple countries and time zones.
Excellent problem-solving skills and result orientation.
Scalable thinking. Yodo1 is growing fast; those who can think big advance quickly.

You might have:

Experience managing a long-lived or “legacy” title (5+ years in market).
Experience scaling a game past major user or engagement milestones.
Availability for at least 4 hours between 10 AM and 7 PM Central European Time (CET), to overlap with team members across time zones.

WHAT WE OFFER

Compensation. We pay based on qualifications, experience, and fit for the role. We provide an allowance to purchase your own device or equipment and offer variable compensation through our annual bonus program.
Growth. We offer an environment where you will have the trust and freedom to try, fail, learn fast, and make a real impact while accelerating your career, and where anyone with a great idea can pitch it directly to our management team.
WFA. Work from anywhere in the world, travel when and where you like, get paid in your currency of choice, and enjoy flexible hours and unlimited paid time off.
Community. Work with an energetic, fast-learning, supportive, and diverse team of Yodies across six continents and 30+ countries who share and support new ideas and get things done.
