Stockholm, Stockholm, Sweden Paradox Interactive Full time 120,000 - 200,000 per year

Paradox Interactive is home to some of the most celebrated management and simulation game franchises in the world, including Cities: Skylines, Surviving Mars and Prison Architect. As we continue to invest in this genre and expand our portfolio, we are looking for a Head of Business to lead the commercial success and long-term growth of this important genre.

In this role, you will lead a team responsible for the commercial strategy, marketing execution, and player engagement of our management game franchises.

You are commercially minded, analytically sharp, and an inspiring leader who thrives in a creative and collaborative environment. You have a deep understanding of the games industry, preferably in the management and simulation genre, and are passionate about building lasting relationships with players.

Provide strategic oversight of product lifecycles across the portfolio—guiding priorities, monitoring performance, and refining plans to ensure commercial success and deliver lasting value to players.

Drive growth initiatives by launching new titles, expanding existing franchises, experimenting with business models, and optimizing pricing and promotion. Explore untapped markets, platforms, and licensing opportunities, informed by business intelligence and player feedback.

Lead and develop a multidisciplinary team of Business Owners, Marketing Leads, and Community Specialists — fostering professional growth, strengthening collaboration, and maintaining a culture of excellence. Manage recruitment when needed to ensure the team continues to meet evolving business needs.

Drive cross-functional collaboration with publishing and studio teams to ensure alignment on goals, deliverables and release schedules.

Own resource planning, budgeting and performance tracking for the business area.

Champion player-first decision-making, using community feedback and analytics to inform commercial strategy, engagement initiatives, and long-term franchise planning.

Qualifications

5+ years of senior experience in game publishing, product management or commercial strategy.

Proven track record of driving commercial performance for game franchises or portfolios.
