You will work closely with the Creative Director on the team to ensure that business strategy and creative strategy are in sync.

Driven by commercial success
A strong understanding of games-as-a-service, F2P and monetisation
A laser focus on always moving things forward, breaking strategies into a tactical plan and ensuring delivery against that.

You have experience taking a lean approach in a data-led environment to balance speed with risk
You communicate effortlessly, lightly, and respectfully, and you can do this in person, in groups, in writing, and at a whiteboard.
A relentless curiosity for the mobile games market, its history, trends and consumers
Open to the fact that no one has all the answers. Eager for feedback and taking on-board ideas from your team, the wider team at Hutch and the ever-evolving industry.
