Job description

Mission

As a Strategic Partnerships Manager, you’ll play a key role in supporting Homa’s growth by working directly with the CEO to shape high-impact partnerships and corporate initiatives. In this role, you will build and manage relationships with some of the best gaming studios in the world, support deal structuring, negotiations, and strategic partnerships, and assist in market research, competitive intelligence, and M&A or investment projects.

Responsibilities

This position is designed to give you maximum exposure to strategic decision-making and prepare you for a fast-track career in business development, corporate strategy, or venture investing. Your main responsibilities will include:

Partnerships

• Support the sourcing and onboarding of new studios into Homa’s ecosystem
• Build presentations, partnership materials, and financial simulations to structure compelling proposals
• Track and manage the performance of studio partnerships, ensuring long-term alignment and success

Corporate Development

• Assist in evaluating M&A and investment opportunities (market mapping, benchmarking, financial modeling)
• Prepare Board-level materials and investment memos
• Monitor industry trends (gaming, adtech, entertainment) to help shape Homa’s growth strategy

Internal Enablement

• Work cross-functionally with Product, UA, Finance, and Data teams to support deal execution
• Create clear frameworks and reporting to increase visibility on partnerships and opportunities

Why Join Homa

• Be at the intersection of gaming, strategy, and investments
• Work directly with senior leadership on strategic deals
• Exposure to global studios and top decision-makers in gaming
• Accelerated learning curve: within 12 months, you will have contributed to multi-million-dollar partnerships and possibly M&A deals
• Competitive package with growth opportunities

Requirements

• Background: You could be a top graduate from a leading university or a self-taught, hungry, high-IQ builder who has proven you can learn fast and think big
• Experience: 0–3 years in consulting, investment banking, VC/PE, strategy, gaming, or any environment where you had to think strategically and deliver under pressure
• Skills: Analytical and creative at once: you can break down a P&L but also pitch a deal in a way that excites a studio founder
• Passion: Deep interest in gaming, media, or tech—not just as a player, but as someone who wants to shape the industry
• Communication: Excellent communicator: clear, precise, and persuasive—whether it’s a studio founder, an investor, or your CEO
• Mindset: Above all, curious, ambitious, and unstoppable. You’d rather figure things out than wait for instructions.

Even if you don’t check every box in our requirements, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we’re more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.

Within Your First 12 Months, Success Looks Like

• Contributing to at least one investment or acquisition project
• Building a reputation as a trusted, analytical, and entrepreneurial partner inside Homa.

This role is the perfect launchpad for a career at the crossroads of gaming, strategy, and venture building. If you want to learn how to source, structure, and close deals that shape the future of entertainment, join Homa.

Our Culture

At Homa, we prioritise talent, energy, and determination over traditional credentials. We’re building a global community of brilliant, driven people who think boldly, act with pragmatism, move fast, and push boundaries. We believe true innovation comes from diverse perspectives, deep collaboration, and curiosity without limits. Our culture is grounded in four core values:

• Ambition: We strive for the best – we don’t settle for “good enough,” and we use common sense to reach higher.
• Humility: We recognise that we are always learning, we can always improve and grow, and we stay grounded in a clear view of ourselves.
• Curiosity: We continuously seek the “why” behind the “what” – we explore with purpose and practicality.
• Focus: Our curiosity takes us deeper, not wider – we obsess over the details and let pragmatism guide our attention.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Benefits: Depending on your location, you’ll enjoy a range of perks such as insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more.
• Paris HQ Access: Enjoy a desk at our private office in a well-located WeWork building that will give you access to WeWork perks like rooftop view and designed coworking spaces.
• Coworking Access: You will have access to WeWork spaces throughout Europe, along with all their perks and professional office environments.
• Global Team: Collaborate in English with top-tier talent from 35+ countries, spanning Europe, the UK, the US, and more. Diversity fuels our creativity and innovation.
• Team Gatherings: We value time together beyond the screen. Join us for occasional team gatherings, off-site retreats (Workations) to connect, recharge, and celebrate.
• Performance Reviews: We’re committed to your growth. Every six months, we reflect on your progress, recognize your achievements, and align on clear development goals.
• Equipment Support: From day one, we’ll provide everything you need to do your best work, including a home office setup allowance if you\'re working remotely.

Where We Hire

Our HQ in Paris is a vibrant hub of creativity, collaboration, and connection. From rooftop lunches and coffee chats to after-work apéros and community events, we’ve designed a space people genuinely enjoy – all within a cozy WeWork filled with good energy (and snacks).

We also have incredible team members across Europe - from Spain and Turkey to Germany, North Macedonia, Poland, the UK, and more. Whether you’re working from a sunny WeWork in Barcelona or your home setup in Warsaw, you’re fully part of our culture. To keep collaboration smooth, we primarily hire within European time zones (UTC to UTC+3). If you\'re based there – or planning to be – we’d love to hear from you!

Please note: this is one remote position open to multiple countries, not multiple openings.
