Chief Product Officer

About the role

The Chief Product Officer will own the product function end‑to‑end for the gamedev business unit of a global ad‑tech group, driving strategy, execution, and growth of a portfolio of casual evergreen mobile games (puzzle, word, cards) while expanding into adjacent scalable genres.

Responsibilities

• Own the product function end‑to‑end – from portfolio strategy to day‑to‑day execution.
• Set, defend and evolve strategy across the in‑house portfolio together with the unit’s leadership: decide what to double down on, what to sunset, and what to greenlight next.
• Manage and hands‑on coach product owners (5 direct reports): challenge roadmaps together.
• Get personally into the data and the hypotheses – analyze metrics, review and test prototypes yourself, including light vibe‑coding of simple tests when useful.
• Build a structured hypothesis pipeline with clear prototyping standards, balancing quality and throughput.
• Coordinate with adjacent functions – monetization, marketing, data – run as separate departments within the unit.
• Take on strategic oversight of the external partner studio as part of full portfolio ownership over time.
• Champion practical AI adoption across the team – no‑code / vibe‑coding tools that let even non‑engineers build automations and speed up daily product work.
• Hire, develop and retain the product team as it grows.
• Report on product status and results to the unit’s leadership and, for major investment decisions, to the parent company’s board.

Requirements

• Proven track record as Head of Product / CPO / Product Lead in mobile evergreen games.
• Deep understanding of ad‑monetization economics: eCPM, ARPU/ARPDAU, retention curves, LTV, mediation/waterfall.
• Genuinely hands‑on with data – comfortable digging into the numbers yourself.
• Experience combining product and development leadership: understands dev processes, release cycles and prototyping well enough to run both without a separate Head of Development.
• AI literacy: practical, personal use of AI / no‑code / vibe‑coding tools to build automations and prototypes.
• Upper‑Intermediate English or higher.
• Entrepreneurial streak – own‑project or founder experience is a plus.

Skills

• Data analysis and hypothesis‑driven experimentation.
• Product strategy and portfolio management.
• Leadership and coaching of product teams.
• AI / no‑code tool adoption and automation.
• Ad‑monetization expertise (eCPM, ARPU, LTV, mediation).
• Strong communication in English.

Benefits

• Office‑based role in Barcelona (open‑space, kitchen with cooked lunches, parking, gym in the building, terrace, game room).
• Relocation package for candidate and family.
• Medical insurance.
• Meals and beverages at the office.
• Gym and language courses.
• Paid vacation and sick leave.
• 6‑month probation period.
• Full‑time staff position, fully official employment.

Schedule

8‑hour working day with flexible core hours.
