Madbox is a fast-growing mobile gaming company with a very unique way of developing games. Everything has been made for teams to take as much ownership as possible, unleash their creativity, bring performance, and have as much fun as possible.

In July 2022, we launched our Pocket Champs game worldwide which quickly became one of the top-grossing games in its category. In our fast-paced, tech-driven environment, we continuously innovate by developing and updating our proprietary modules, along with integrating third-party ones, to enhance game functionalities, ensure precise analytics, and comply with evolving regulations.
This dynamic ecosystem requires meticulous coordination to keep our games at the forefront of technology and user experience.

The Game Manager in the New Games team is responsible for identifying, shaping, and validating new game opportunities from early concept to scalable evergreen experiences.

This role initially focuses on early stage development, but can evolve if the game starts getting traction. The Game Manager owns the game vision, leads a small cross-functional team, and ensures delivery aligned with Madbox’s production mindset and editorial guidelines.

The profile we are looking for:
