General Manager

About Arkadium

At Arkadium, our purpose is simple- to have fun while creating fun. For 25 years, we’ve been behind some of the world’s most-played games, from the classic Solitaire that came with Windows to hundreds of web and mobile games enjoyed by millions of players around the globe.

As a proud Evergreen business, our values of Fierce Drive, Positive Energy, and Living Full Lives guide how we build products, lead teams, and grow sustainably. We are founder-led, privately held, and consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work, in other words, we’re not your typical games company.

Interested in becoming an Arkadian? We’d love to hear from you! 

The Opportunity

Own Arkadium's consumer games business end-to-end as a true General Manager. You'll have full P&L accountability, report to the CEO, and lead the strategy across portfolio development, platform expansion, and growth—both organic and inorganic.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You'll work alongside a capable team and set the bar for what excellence looks like across game development, distribution, monetization, and outstanding execution.

What You'll Own

• P&L & Commercial Strategy : Full ownership of consumer games revenue (ads, subscriptions, mtx, and distribution partnerships)
• Portfolio & Game Development : Define what we build, license, and retire-across first-party, second-party, and third-party titles
• Platform & Product : Drive the arkadium.com product roadmap, engagement features, retention mechanics, monetization, and UX
• New Platforms : Lead our expansion into new and emerging distribution channels (i.e. mobile apps, Instant Games, Reddit, etc.)
• Inorganic Growth : Shape our M&A strategy-studio partnerships, IP deals, catalog acquisitions
• Team Development : Lead director-level talent across Games, Platform, Creative, and Analytics

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• VP/GM/Head of Studio experience with direct P&L ownership in consumer games
• Proven track record shipping quality games that retain players and drive revenue (casual/mid-core preferred)
• Experience owning or overseeing a consumer-facing web platform or gaming website
• Deep expertise in ad-monetized models and player-first product decisions
• Experience leading multidisciplinary teams across design, product, creative, and analytics
• Strong conviction about what makes games worth playing

Preferred

• Web casual game experience, especially with 35+ audiences
• Platform expansion experience (mobile, social platforms, new distribution)
• Comfort building for players who value craft and quality over trends

Why This Role Matters

You'll shape the future of a beloved brand at an inflection point-where strategic discipline meets real growth opportunity. If you're energized by P&L ownership, platform-level thinking, and building teams that ship great games, let's talk.
