Game Economy Manager

It’s an exciting time to join Tactile. We're a diverse team of storytellers, puzzle enthusiasts and casual mobile game creators. Our story began in 2008 in the heart of beautiful Copenhagen, and since then we have experienced continuous growth, establishing ourselves as one of the largest gaming companies in Denmark. In more recent years, we have been scaling fast, in big part thanks to the success of a little game called Lily’s Garden. Now we’re on a mission to solidify our position as one of the leaders in creating out-of-the-ordinary casual puzzle games.

With more than 300 talented individuals, we are a mix of over 40 nationalities and 43% women. We truly appreciate the richness of different experiences and perspectives that Tactilers bring to the game. This is why we foster a lean organisational culture, in which each individual is encouraged to take responsibility, be open and grow in their own way. We pride ourselves in cultivating a studio environment that stays away from crunch, that fosters your skills no matter what your discipline is, and one that gives you a place to be creative alongside other passionate and invested storytellers.

• You’ll research and implement new economy strategies and tools for game balancing, monetization, and retention.

Who we’re looking for:

• You’re a seasoned professional and have contributed to growing free-to-play mobile games in the past because you understand how the interaction of systems and currencies influences both the player experience and the game’s financial performance,
• You feel very comfortable working cross-functionally and have successfully collaborated with Game Designers, Product Managers and Data Scientists in the past,
• You have strong quantitative and qualitative analytical skills, emphasizing metrics-driven decision-making,
