• Applying AI tools and automation workflows for content creation, growth loops, and operational efficiency
• Collaborating with design, tech, and creative leads to align growth strategy with product direction
• Providing hands-on support and mentorship to small, high-ownership teams

What we're looking for:

• Proven 0 to1 growth experience in consumer startups, gaming, or creative technology
• Strong understanding of data-driven experimentation and clear metric definition
• Hands-on use of AI creative tools and automation systems
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to align stakeholders across time zones

Nice to have:

• Experience shipping early-stage games or consumer apps
• Background spanning product, analytics, growth, or marketing
• Entrepreneurial, experimental mindset with a hacker-like approach to solving problems
• Interest in AI, gaming innovation, and community-building
• Willingness to travel internationally several times per year

If you’re a creative, metrics-minded growth expert who thrives in fast loops and wants to support the next generation of AI-native game teams, we’d love to hear from you. Apply now, or email Joe McKernan - jm@skillsearch.com
