Game Economy & Monetization Manager
About the role
SciPlay is a leading developer and publisher of digital games on mobile and web platforms, providing highly entertaining free-to-play games that millions of people play every day for their authenticity, engagement and fun. SciPlay currently offers nine core games, including social casino games Jackpot Party Casino, Gold Fish Casino Slots, Hot Shot Casino and Quick Hit Slots, and casual games MONOPOLY Slots, Bingo Showdown, 88 Fortunes Slots, Backgammon Live and Solitaire Pet Adventure with offices all over the world! We're hiring a Game Economy & Monetization Manager to be the economic brain behind our games. You will specialize in tuning the economy (what things cost, what they give, and how fast players progress) and you will share LiveOps, monitoring and monetization with the teams that run them day to day. If you like modeling incentives and then watching real players prove you right or wrong, this is the job. The economist's mindset: thinks in incentives — what a change makes players do, not only what it costs or earns; reads an economy as flows — sources, sinks, inflation, and the marginal effect of each tweak; trades short‑term revenue against long‑term economy health, and says which one a decision favors; decides from data, models and experiments rather than intuition, then writes the reasoning down.
Responsibilities
- Own the design of the game economy: currencies, sources and sinks, progression, and the pricing of virtual goods, with clear KPIs that show whether it is healthy.
- Tune the economy week to week: feature configurations, rewards, level progression, bonus values and offer contents, using data and experiments to fine‑tune.
- Build simulations and predictive models that forecast how content, pricing and balance changes will land before they ship.
- Plan, run and read A/B tests on economy and pricing changes, and turn the results into decisions.
- Define player segments from behavior and motivation, and tailor economy parameters to each segment.
- Own monitoring of economy health (player balances, inflation, source and sink ratios, conversion) and act on anomalies.
- Partner with Product, Design, Analytics, Marketing and Engineering so the economy supports game goals, and present recommendations to senior leadership.
- Co‑own with Monetization on offers, bundles and price points; you own the economic guardrails (value per dollar, inflation, effect on progression); Monetization owns offer execution and revenue targets.
- Co‑own LiveOps with the LiveOps team: you define the economy of each event (costs, rewards, pacing); LiveOps owns scheduling, configuration and QA.
- Help Product and Monetization make the experience‑versus‑revenue trade‑off explicit.
Requirements
- Ownership mindset; comfortable with ambiguity and switching context quickly.
- Nice to have: Degree in economics, mathematics, statistics, engineering or another quantitative field.
