About the company
Playrix is one of the most successful mobile game development companies in the world. In terms of mobile application revenue, we rank first in Europe and are in the top 3 worldwide. Our games have been installed 2.3 billion times (that's a third of the world's population!) and more than 30 million people around the world play them every day.
Team, about the role
We are looking for a Development Director with experience managing large IT products who is ready to take on responsibility for the results of our flagship games. With a strong vision for the product, you will lead key development processes and facilitate the professional growth of a large team of industry experts.
Tasks
The director's task is to effectively manage teams in conditions of high production rates and change. You'll be involved in the entire game production process, from pre-production and artistic work to creating engineering perfection. What worked a year ago may not be consistent with the product strategy today, and the director should see that and make the necessary improvements.
In addition, a key responsibility is to create and develop teams. In this sense, directors at Playrix have "free rein" and almost unlimited opportunities to build a team.

- Experience in defining and implementing product development strategies
- Development and implementation of production processes
