Job summary

Miniclip is seeking a Game Designer for OSM, one of the world's leading mobile football-management games. You will own features and economy end-to-end from concept through spec, implementation, release and live balancing, collaborating with product managers, UX designers, developers and analysts in a small cross-functional team.

You should have 3+ years designing gameplay and live-ops for mobile F2P games, with a strong grasp of mobile UX and data-driven decision making.

Qualifications

3+ years designing gameplay and economy for live mobile free-to-play games.
Experience across the full cycle, from prototype to production to running a game post-launch.
Comfortable working with analytics, and able to turn data into a design decision rather than a dashboard summary.
Strong grasp of mobile UX, and genuine curiosity about players whose taste differs from your own.
Takes critique well and iterates instead of defending. Writes clear, well-argued design docs.
Experience with live ops planning and content calendars.
Self-directed and organised. You can own a feature without being chased.
Fluent English, written and spoken.
Experience on sports, management or simulation titles.

Responsibilities

Design features and content for OSM, from concept to detailed specification, that improve engagement, retention and monetisation.
Design and tune the in-game economy, including pricing, progression, rewards and sinks, and monitor how it behaves once live.
Prototype and playtest ideas early, and use what you learn to kill or reshape them.
Balance and iterate on live features after release, using analytics and player feedback to decide what changes and what stays.
Present your designs and the reasoning behind them to the team and to stakeholders, and defend the parts worth defending.
Keep an eye on competitors and the wider sports and management genre, and bring back what's inspiring.
Work with developers to improve the internal tools and config systems designers rely on.
