Collaborate with mathematicians and creative teams to design retention-focused game mechanics and manage the product roadmap in a fully remote, high-autonomy environment. ## Job description ## THE MISSION We aren’t looking for a traditional software project manager or a passive corporate coordinator who just tracks tasks on a timeline. We need a "Slot Architect" to command the production roadmap of our gaming pipeline. Your job is to take raw, high-vibe concepts and forge them into world-class, hyper-retentive iGaming titles that capture player attention with surgical precision. This is a remote, high-availability role for a metric-driven gaming purist who understands that building a legendary slot is an exact mix of math, visual psychology, and relentless kinetic flow. We value execution, deep industry obsession, and a killer product instinct over standard corporate pedigrees. You are a self-proclaimed slots nerd who deconstructs game loops in your spare time and understands exactly what makes a player hit "spin" again. If you have the data-driven rigor to master slot mechanics, the leadership depth to align decentralized creative teams, and the drive to ship high-performing gaming math models, we will give you the sovereignty to pilot our gaming empire. ## KEY RESPONSIBILITIES - End-to-End Game Production: Take absolute ownership of the game development lifecycle—guiding slot titles from raw wireframes and math prototypes to final compliance, deployment, and live-ops tracking. - Math & Mechanic Architecture: Collaborate deeply with mathematicians to design, stress-test, and refine volatility profiles, RTP (Return to Player) configurations, and hitting frequencies that drive extreme player retention. - Cross-Functional Team Leadership: Direct, inspire, and align a decentralized squad of shared specialists—including slot developers, digital illustrators, kinetic animators, and backend engineers—to maintain a flawless delivery pipeline. - Ecosystem Sourcing & Roadmap Management: Maintain an aggressive, highly optimized product delivery schedule, identifying emerging iGaming trends and structural player shifts before they hit the mainstream market. - Stakeholder & Compliance Communication: Manage clear technical communication loops with data teams, domain architects, and executive partners, ensuring every title is perfectly positioned for regulatory compliance and maximum distribution leverage. - Feature Optimization: Analyze live player behavior, spin telemetry, and revenue metrics with cold, analytical rigor—running real-time product tweaks and mechanic modifications to maximize lifetime value (LTV). ## THE REQUIREMENTS - The "Gaming Veteran": Proven hands-on game production or product ownership experience strictly within the iGaming or digital gaming ecosystem. You know the structural DNA of a winning slot machine. - Math Literacy: A rock-solid understanding of the mathematical fundamentals of slots (including hit rates, bonus triggers, cascading mechanics, and payout distribution logic). You speak numbers as fluently as UI design. - Elite Project & People Management: A demonstrated track record of leading complex technical teams and organizing fast-moving delivery pipelines without a single feature or timeline metric slipping through the cracks. - Hyper-Availability: This isn't a 9-to-5 corporate track. The global iGaming market operates 24/7/365, and major feature rollouts happen fast. You must be available 7 days a week to handle real-time product anomalies, launch window validation, and urgent updates. - Operational Autonomy: Completely self-motivated and highly structured; you can manage massive feature charts and launch schedules from your laptop without any hand-holding. ## OPERATIONAL DETAILS - Location: Fully Remote. - Schedule: On-call 7 days a week (Requires high flexibility to handle real-time release cycles, data pivots, and global engineering alignment). - Payment: All compensation is processed in digital assets (USDC/USDT). WHY JOIN US? We offer more than just a typical product management seat; we offer the keys to an aggressive, high-stakes iGaming production powerhouse. - Extreme Strategic Sovereignty: We value raw output and commercial success over bureaucratic red tape. You will have the absolute freedom to design, test, and ship your gaming models your way. - Global Canvas: Your slots and game logic will instantly step onto a worldwide stage, commanding the engagement and attention of thousands of active players every single second. - A Culture of Pure Momentum: Join an elite team that moves at lightspeed. You will be constantly building, testing fresh gameplay mechanics, and tracking real-world commercial metrics. - High-Growth Upside: We value "potential over pedigree." For a Game Product Owner who continuously scales winning titles and maintains an uncompromised shipping record, there is a clear, wide runway to lead our entire gaming and venture organization. ## About Partyhat ## Core Business - **Primary industry/industries**: Startup studio, venture capital, brand building, technology and entertainment consumer products - **Target customers**: Founders (B2B for investment and co-founding); end-users of the brands they build (B2C) - **Mission or purpose statement**: "We build, back and scale the brands that win" – the company aims to create and invest in the companies defining the next decade. ## Products & Services - **Partyhat Studio**: Builds companies from idea to scale using in-house teams and capital.
