  • Source, evaluate, and execute mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures, and other strategic investment opportunities.
  • Develop financial models, market maps, and competitive analyses to support executive and Board-level decisions.
  • Represent the company at industry events, conferences, and private deal rooms, enhancing market positioning.
  • Track and analyze industry trends to inform strategy and anticipate shifts in gaming, adtech, and entertainment.
  • Collaborate with internal teams (Product, Data, Finance, Marketing) to identify capability gaps and acquisition targets.
  • 8–12 years of experience in business development, corporate development, venture capital, private equity, or investment banking, preferably in gaming, entertainment, or technology.
  • Proven ability to originate, structure, and close high-value deals.
  • Deep network in the gaming industry, including studios, publishers, investors, and platform partners.
  • Strong analytical skills with experience in P&L models, valuations, and incentive alignment.
  • Excellent communication and negotiation skills, with the ability to build long-term trust and influence stakeholders.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset: proactive, creative, and results-driven.
  • Experience with sourcing/executing M&A or strategic investments in gaming or adjacent industries.
  • Comfortable working in a high-stakes, fast-moving, and international environment.

  • Competitive compensation package with performance-based upside and potential equity.
  • Comprehensive benefits (location-dependent), including health insurance, meal vouchers, public transport, gym memberships, and more.
  • Flexible remote work arrangements with support for home office setup.
  • Access to coworking spaces across Europe, including WeWork offices and perks.
  • Global team collaboration with top talent from 35+ countries.
