About the role
Role Overview
If you’re looking to make the best co-op games in the world, you’ve come to the right place. We're proud to have some of the best game makers and collaborators in the industry working with us. What's more, we're a fun bunch of game developers, who love to indulge in our passion for video games together. Our games are not for everyone.
Who you are
An analytically and commercially minded professional who's motivated by connecting Players with content they'll love. This is a hands-on, business-facing role; you don't need a background in games, but you do need a genuine interest in gaming and an understanding of what makes a creative product tick.
What you'll do
The Commercial Manager at Arrowhead works in a data-driven way: formulating hypotheses, analyzing data, and acting on the results. You'll systematically define test cases, analyse outcomes, and model business cases for hypothetical scenarios to help inform decision-making. You'll also build and run our in-game store, from constructing offer bundles and setting prices, to planning and executing commercial campaigns. You'll also lead audience-segmented initiatives with purposes like reactivation, engagement, and conversion, using our in-game tools directly.
- Own and run in-game store offers and life-cycle initiatives from the ground up.
- Construct bundles of in-game items and set pricing.
- Strategize for and execute commercial campaigns (e.g. seasonal bundles), coordinating closely with Narrative and Art to bring them to life.
- Own and drive initiatives such as compliance and publishing-focused projects.
- Build a strong understanding of Player pain points related to commercial factors, through data, research, and community feedback.
- Report on daily/weekly performance against KPIs.
Requirements
- Find satisfaction in driving business value, and can back that up with a background in finance, economics, business, or another quantitative field.
- Understand the creative process behind making games and gaming in general.
- Have positions and assumptions grounded in data, not sentiment.
- Are comfortable working with data across different tools, from Excel/Sheets for modeling to reading dashboards in BI tools.
- Are comfortable pivoting from set plans when required.
- Are communicative and collaborative, with strong project management instincts.
- Have a high degree of integrity. You tell it like it is (with compassion).
- Have strong initiative and the ability to build new processes from the ground up.
Nice to have
- Hands-on A/B testing experience.
- Platform storefront experience (PlayStation, Steam).
