2 weeks ago

Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Arrowhead Game Studios Full time
If you're looking to make the best co-op games in the world, you've come to the right place. We're proud to have some of the best game makers and collaborators in the industry under our four walls. What's more, we're a fun bunch of game developers, who love to indulge in our passion for video games together. Our games are not for everyone. Are they for you? We are now looking for a MonetizationDesigner

The Monetization Designer plays a central role in Helldivers 2. At Arrowhead, our intention is to provide a live service to our players, not just a static game. That includes providing a treasure chest of toys that grows and grows over the life of the game. We do have items that can be gained by paying real money. However, we are adamantly not making a pay-to-win game, and neither are we pursuing a traditional FOMO-driven battle pass approach. We are modeling a different type of live service, and our monetization goals reflect those values. Are you an experienced Monetization Designer who is interested in working with these constraints? Are you interested in the challenge of designing and modifying a monetization plan over a lengthy live period? Are you conversant with the balance between in-game resources and paid products? Then please apply to this role, and let's have a conversation

Who you are:

We have no pure fixed requirements for this role. A wide range of people may be able to fit our needs smoothly. However, earlier successful candidates in this role have often had some of the following characteristics:

  • Previous experience as a Monetization Designer
  • Previous experience on console or PC games
  • Previous experience on multiple game projects that include in-game monetization
  • Previous experience working with large publishers
  • Previous experience working with remote colleagues across time zones
  • Deep understanding of and opinions on monetization designs in recent games
  • Wide market knowledge, including general knowledge of game finances
  • The ability to present arguments orally, visually, textually, and with multimedia aids
  • An understanding of the limitations and abilities of typical game software
  • The ability to travel and work across different cultures
  • A love of and familiarity with the entertainment industry and pop culture
What you'll do;

Your title will be Monetization Designer and will report to and work closely with the Design Director of Helldivers 2.

Even if you'll be the sole Monetization Designer, but you will have a diverse community of fellow designers to work with, contribute to, and learn from.

Furthermore you will;
