Job description

Are you an inventive, data-driven Growth Hacker ready to help shape the future of AI-native games?

This is an exciting opportunity to partner with multiple early-stage teams inside a leading global games company, driving audience growth through bold experimentation, community-led strategies, and creative use of AI tools.

In this 6–12 month role, you’ll work closely with incubation teams in Helsinki, San Francisco, and Tokyo, supporting them as they refine prototypes, build early traction, and test what resonates with players. The role is preferably based in Helsinki, though remote candidates are welcome with regular travel.

What you’ll be doing:

• Partnering with up to five early-stage AI-native game teams across global locations
• Designing and executing creative, data‑driven growth experiments to test and scale audiences
• Building and managing unconventional growth channels, including short‑form content, influencer initiatives, and community experiments
• Using analytics tools such as Mixpanel, Amplitude, and Google Analytics to track performance and iterate quickly
• Applying AI tools and automation workflows for content creation, growth loops, and operational efficiency
• Collaborating with design, tech, and creative leads to align growth strategy with product direction
• Providing hands‑on support and mentorship to small, high‑ownership teams

What we’re looking for:

• Proven 0‑to‑1 growth experience in consumer startups, gaming, or creative technology
• Strong understanding of data‑driven experimentation and clear metric definition
• Hands‑on use of AI creative tools and automation systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders across time zones

Nice to have:

• Experience shipping early‑stage games or consumer apps
• Background spanning product, analytics, growth, or marketing
• Entrepreneurial, experimental mindset with a hacker‑like approach to solving problems
• Interest in AI, gaming innovation, and community‑building
• Willingness to travel internationally several times per year

If you’re a creative, metrics‑minded growth expert who thrives in fast loops and wants to support the next generation of AI‑native game teams, we’d love to hear from you.
