Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we're also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.

Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.

We are looking for a strategic and operational leader to oversee and optimize the Stockholm studio's operations, ensuring it thrives as an integral part of our global franchise. Reporting to the COO, this role will be responsible for ensuring the Stockholm location has studio clarity around operational efficiency, financial management, and strategic alignment with the broader organization.

Operational Excellence
  • Oversee day-to-day studio operations, ensuring efficiency, streamlined workflows, and continuous improvement.
  • Remove operational blockers and create scalable processes that enable teams to focus on game development.
  • Ensure the studio is equipped with the right tools, infrastructure, and support to produce high-quality games.
Strategic & Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Partner with production, creative, and engineering teams to optimize development processes and delivery.
  • Work across multiple time zones, ensuring clear communication and alignment between Stockholm and global teams.
Financial & Business Oversight
  • Manage budgets, optimize resource allocation, and ensure financial efficiency in the studio's operations.
  • Monitor key operational and financial performance metrics, providing strategic insights to leadership.

What We're Looking For

  • 10+ years of senior leadership experience in studio operations, production, or business management within gaming or tech.
  • Strong background in production excellence, with experience in game development processes, project management, and cross-functional team leadership.
  • Proven ability to scale and optimize studio operations while supporting creative teams.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with experience working across time zones and global teams.
  • Strong financial acumen, with experience managing budgets and driving operational efficiencies.
  • Passion for fostering an inclusive, high-performance environment where teams can create great games.

Why Join Us?

  • Lead operations for a top-tier gaming studio in Stockholm.
  • Shape studio culture and ensure teams thrive.
  • Work at the intersection of creativity and operational excellence.
  • Collaborate with global leadership to drive impact.

If you're a senior operations leader passionate about culture, strategy, and enabling great game development, we'd love to hear from you
