## Description

**About Arkadium**

At Arkadium, our purpose is simple- to have fun while creating fun. For 25 years, we’ve been behind some of the world’s most-played games, from the classic Solitaire that came with Windows to hundreds of web and mobile games enjoyed by millions of players around the globe.

As a proud Evergreen business, our values of Fierce Drive, Positive Energy, and Living Full Lives guide how we build products, lead teams, and grow sustainably. 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.

Interested in becoming an Arkadian? We’d love to hear from you! 

**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), and Marketing.
-   **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 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

**Why You’ll Love Working at Arkadium**

**We offer:**

-   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.
