KIMARU Talent

About KIMARU Talent:
KIMARU Talent is a boutique executive search firm working with startups and growth-stage companies in AI, gaming, technology, and advertising. We take on fewer clients so we can go deeper on each search — real understanding of the role, the team, and what "yes" looks like for both sides.
We're not generalists who'll take any search. We focus on leadership and critical individual-contributor hires — the roles where getting it right changes the trajectory of the startup.
That depth is why most long-term clients give us access to their ATS, Slack, and internal comms. We're not a vendor you check in with weekly. We operate like an internal recruiter with an external network.
ROLE SUMMARY:
We’re looking for a visionary Game Director with a deep understanding of mobile game design. This is a great opportunity to step into a leadership role where your creative direction, design instincts, and team leadership will shape a game already gaining traction in the market.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:
• Define and drive the game vision in partnership with studio leadership, ensuring alignment across design, art, engineering, and production.
• Lead and mentor a cross-functional team of designers and developers.
• Guide the evolution of game systems, mechanics, and content based on user data, player feedback, and market trends.
• Own the overall game economy, retention systems, and progression loops to ensure long-term engagement.
• Set creative priorities and make high-level product decisions that balance innovation, fun, and business outcomes.
• Collaborate with product, marketing, and UA teams to support live operations and player growth.

WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
• 8+ years of experience in game development, with a focus on mobile free-to-play.
• Proven track record in a Game Director, Creative Director, or Lead Designer role on successful mobile games.
• Strong grasp of game economy design, monetization strategies, and player lifecycle management.
• Data-informed mindset: ability to interpret analytics and translate insights into design decisions.
• Exceptional communication and leadership skills, with a passion for mentoring creative teams.
• Experience with live ops, content pipelines, and feature roadmapping.
