• Own the studio P&L: revenue, margin, budget plus monthly, quarterly and annual forecasts.
• In collaboration with the team, own the product roadmap and KPIs; prioritise the backlog against LTV, retention and ARPDAU.
• Manage live ops: events, offers, economy tuning, A/B tests, monetisation and related marketing tactics, as well as grow revenue in ways that respect the player experience the studio is known for.
• Manage delivery milestones and release quality.
• Lead the remote team; retain and develop functional leads and own culture and accountability.
• Represent the studio to partners and platform holders.
• Coordinate with Atari’s UA, P&C, IT and legal teams where the studio has no dedicated staff.
