Enter the future of slot game development and distribution where curious and ambitious people have the best chances to shine and thrive. If you're someone who likes turning bold ideas into real action, you will feel at home here.

About the Role
We're looking for an experienced Chief Product Officer (CPO) to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of our next generation of slot games. As the creative and strategic force behind our product portfolio, you'll shape the future of entertainment for millions of players around the world.

You'll oversee the full product lifecycle — from concept to release — driving innovation, quality, and differentiation in a competitive market. You'll collaborate closely with talented teams in game design, art, math, tech, and commercial to deliver exceptional player experiences that stay true to our brand's creative DNA.

To be successful in this role at Thunderkick:
Strategic Vision: You are a visionary leader with a deep understanding of the iGaming landscape, capable of setting and executing a strategic product vision.

Communication: You have a talent for explaining complex matters to anyone and you approach people with respect and dignity.

Collaborative Leadership: You are a collaborative person who can inspire and motivate cross-functional colleagues to deliver and perform at their best.

Customer-Centric Approach: You have a customer-centric mindset, dedicated to delivering products that meet and exceed the expectations from our B2B customers as well from our end-users.

• Identify new opportunities in mechanics, themes, and features that push the boundaries of player engagement.
• Collaborate with leadership on company strategy, partnerships, and studio direction.

We're looking for:

• 5+ years of experience in game production or product leadership, preferably in slots or casino gaming.
• A strong portfolio of released games with proven commercial successes.
• Deep understanding of RTP, volatility, math models, art styles, sound, and animation and how they all contribute to maximize player experience.
• Strategic mindset with proven ability to translate creative ambition into measurable success.

Why Join Us?

• Take creative ownership of an ambitious and respected slot portfolio.
• Lead a team of passionate creators who value artistry, humour, and precision.
