Position Overview:

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Director of Game Economy to join our team in Barcelona. Unlike traditional game economy roles focused on a single title, this position will operate as a centralized expert resource across multiple games. You will lead economic strategy on a project basis: analyzing each game, identifying the key opportunities and challenges in its economy, and guiding the design and implementation of sustainable solutions.

In addition, you will play a critical role in building and mentoring in-game economy teams. While you will initially lead the economic development for each project, you will also establish the long-term structures and train internal teams within each game to own and manage the economy independently.

This role is both strategic and hands-on: blending research, analysis, system design, cross-team collaboration, and leadership development.

What You'll Do:

You aren't just managing one game; you are the architect of a portfolio. You will step into different projects to diagnose economic health, design robust pricing and reward systems, and then train the local teams to take the reins.

• Drive Portfolio Strategy: You will serve as the shared expert across multiple games, taking full ownership of economic health by identifying gaps and implementing tailored solutions for engagement and business performance.
• Build and Mentor Teams: You will lead the recruitment, mentoring, and training of new in-game economy teams, establishing the long-term structures they need to eventually manage their game's economy independently.
• Design and Simulate: You will use your quantitative expertise to develop predictive models, simulations, and A/B tests that validate design decisions and forecast the impact of new features.
• Collaborate Globally: You will lead cross-functional efforts with Product Managers, Data Scientists, and Engineers across different geographies, acting as a cultural and technical bridge to ensure seamless execution.

What You Bring:

• Economic Mastery: A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Economics, Math, Statistics, or a related quantitative field, paired with a proven track record of optimizing complex game economies.
• Technical Proficiency: Advanced analytical skills with a "must-have" mastery of Excel; experience with SQL, R, or Python is a significant advantage for deep-dive research.
• Leadership Experience: Demonstrated ability to grow junior talent into strong economists and lead high-level strategic initiatives across departments.
• F2P Passion: A deep-seated interest in Free-to-Play mechanics and a sophisticated understanding of how to balance player experience with sustainable monetization.

Bonus Points:

• Additional background in Monetization strategy to complement your economic expertise.
• Experience working on large-scale online, social, or multiplayer games.

What's in it for you as a Socialpointer?

• Hybrid working model: we ask you to come to our Barcelona office at least 2 days per week
• A generous 25 days of annual leave, plus public holidays
• Private medical insurance for you and your family to keep your health bar full
• Disability and life insurance
