General Manager - Mobile Games

The Opportunity

Mode Mobile is building a mobile game business designed to scale, one that users love, partners trust, and whose P&L actually works.

We’re hiring a General Manager of Mobile Games to take full ownership of Mode’s growing portfolio of casual and puzzle games. This is not a “strategy deck” role. This is for someone who has built, scaled, and monetized games before—and wants real control, real accountability, and real upside.

If you’ve lived inside mobile gaming, and you’re ready to run the whole thing like it’s your own business, this role is for you.

We are not looking for someone to learn mobile gaming. We are looking for someone with deep expertise to drive results quickly.

What You’ll Own

• The Mobile Gaming Business — End to End
  • Full P&L ownership for Mode’s mobile gaming vertical
  • Strategy, execution, growth, and profitability. No shared ownership, no ambiguity
  • Decide what to build, partner, license, acquire, or shut down
• Gaming That Actually Scales
  • Own the vision and roadmap for Mode’s gaming experiences
  • Balance user engagement, economics, and monetization tradeoffs across multiple growth and distribution channels, including traditional mobile UA channels, rewarded partners, organic users, and more
  • Partner closely with Product, Monetization, Engineering, UA, and Data to ship, test, and iterate fast
• Growth, Monetization, and Economics
  • Optimize monetization through strategic balancing of in-app ad revenue and in-app purchases
  • Develop strong user-focused feature designs and product roadmaps
  • Work with Growth team to drive user acquisition, retention, and lifetime value across a gaming portfolio through paid, organic, and owned user acquisition channels
  • Set and own KPIs: ARPU, margin, retention, ROAS, and scale
• Partnerships & Deals That Matter
  • Source, negotiate, and manage relationships with game developers, publishers, and monetization partners
  • Structure revenue-share, licensing, aggregation, and platform deals
  • Evaluate strategic partnerships and M&A opportunities in gaming
• Build and Lead the Team
  • Hire and lead a lean, high-output team across product, growth, ops, and partnerships
  • Set the operating cadence, goals, and accountability
  • Create a culture of ownership, speed, and clear decision‑making
• Zero-Bureaucracy Execution
  • Work directly with the CEO and executive team
  • No layers. No handoffs. No waiting for permission.
  • You own the number and the strategy to hit it

Who This Role Is For

You might be a fit if:

• You’ve built or scaled a mobile gaming business, including studio operations, with a focus on casual and puzzle.
• You’ve owned a business line, product portfolio, or P&L, not just contributed to one
• You understand the real economics of gaming, including the use of rewarded networks for growth
• You have a vision for how AI can be used to enhance studio productivity and reduce time to market
• You’re comfortable making fast, imperfect decisions and owning the outcome
• You want autonomy, accountability, and upside, and not consensus meetings

This Is Not a Role For

• Product leaders who don’t want P&L responsibility
• Operators who need heavy structure, playbooks, or guardrails
• Anyone looking to “explore” mobile gaming as a learning opportunity

What Success Looks Like (First 6–18 Months)

• Mobile games become a meaningful, profitable growth engine for Mode
• Clear, repeatable acquisition and monetization loops
• Strong developer and partner traction
• A self‑sustaining gaming org that scales without constant escalation

Why This Role Is Different

• Full ownership of a core growth vertical
• Direct CEO access and real decision‑making authority
• A profitable company with startup speed
• Massive whitespace in gaming, supported by a global distribution network
