We are founder-led, privately held, and consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work, in other words, we’re not your typical games company.

- 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
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)

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.
