Game Economy Lead

Our client, a mobile gaming studio building casual games on an AI-driven LiveOps platform, is looking for a hands-on Game Economy Lead to own the in-game economy of its titles.

What you’ll do

• Design and own the in-game economy: virtual currencies, sinks and sources, pricing, rewards and progression.
• Analyze player behavior and economic data to find imbalances, risks and opportunities.
• Optimize the economy for retention, engagement and monetization without hurting the player experience.
• Work with game designers so the economy fits the core gameplay loops and new features.
• Develop and iterate on monetization mechanics: in-app purchases, rewarded ads, offers and bundles.
• Plan and run LiveOps and event-based economy changes, including limited-time events and promotions.
• Define and report the key economy and monetization KPIs together with analytics.
• Run A/B tests and data-driven experiments to validate every change.

What we’re looking for

• 2+ years of hands-on experience managing or designing economies for mobile games.
• Strong understanding of free-to-play economies: virtual currencies, progression systems and monetization mechanics.
• Experience with analytics tools and data platforms to analyze player behavior and economy performance.
• Solid understanding of A/B testing and data-driven decision making.
• Familiarity with LiveOps and event-driven economy management.
• Strong communication skills, able to explain economic concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
