  • Sourcing and negotiating new commercial deals that expand our game portfolio and revenue from growth markets like China.
  • Tracking market trends to share helpful insights that guide our long-term growth plans.
  • Prioritizing our deal pipeline with Rovio leadership and Sega colleagues to focus on high-impact projects.
  • Leading and mentoring a team - one direct report to start and projects crewed by Sega - to foster a supportive and high-performing team.

Experience and skills we are looking for:

  • Extensive experience in business development, partnerships, or licensing within gaming, entertainment, or tech.
  • Track record of closing high value agreements through building trust and strong negotiation skills.
  • Experience in generating leads and managing complex projects and a structured deal pipeline.
  • Strategic thinking combined with an outcome-focused and resilient approach.
  • People leadership skills in guiding, supporting, and developing team members.
  • Strong knowledge of the iOS and Android marketplace and a passion for the mobile gaming sector.
  • Fluent in English with clear, comfortable communication skills to navigate across different cultures and time zones.

It would be nice if you also have the following skills:

  • Established relationships with platform owners and major IP licensors.
  • Experience with PC, console, or cross-platform co-development deals.
  • Familiarity with the SEGA or Rovio ecosystem or working within a global, multi-region group.
  • Additional language skills are an advantage.

You'll work in a hybrid setup with two to three days at the office per week. Kindly send us your CV in English. We look forward to speaking to you!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
