Company mission
Space Ape’s mission is to make the world’s best mobile games.
Role
Who you are
- Many years experience across multiple projects in similar roles or similar situations:
- For Beatstar- a passion for music is essential, though experience working with music is not. We are breaking new ground so having a fresh perspective and broad experience, and entrepreneurial mindset is more important than specific experience
- For the Puzzle Game- experience in the category IS essential. You will be embedded on a team of seasoned puzzle experts who will be looking for you to hit the ground running. A thorough understanding of the category leading best practices is essential
- Space Ape’s are incredibly passionate, productive, self starting, team players
- You thrive on the challenge of scaling a gaming business, as much as the creative act of making games. You will effectively own the business side of the game so need to be equally at home in both worlds
- Creative mindset, great logical and analytical capabilities, very good soft skills, empathy for players and for the player experience
- Excellent communication skills
- Passion for mobile games
- Ambition to be part of the next generation of hit mobile games
What the job involves
- Two Games, Two Roles
- We are looking for two Product Managers to support two key initiatives:
- Scaling our footprint in the music category
- Launching a new casual puzzle game
- Beatstar has been live for little over a year, but already generated $100m revenue and defines the category on mobile. Approximately half the company is engaged in either scaling Beatstar or developing more music games to achieve our ambition of being the defining brand in the category
- Our casual puzzle game is launching imminently with a fresh take on the category that is on track to be our most ambitious project to date. The team is highly experienced in the category and the game has been well vetted with extensive testing that have established genre leading KPI’s
- We are looking for seasoned product managers who are passionate about one or both of these missions, and will shape the role depending on the candidate
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Space Ape is a mobile gaming company dedicated to creating the highest quality games for players worldwide. To date, it has launched games such as Rival Kingdoms, Fastlane, and Beatstar, which reached the #1 top-grossing music game in 2022.
In 2021, Space Ape soft-launched Boom Beach: Frontlines with their strategic partner, Supercell, which has also supported the company in its latest funding round. This investment is cited to help Space Ape grow its team and scale marketing, as it capitalises on the massive success of Beatstar, which has acrued upwards of 38 million downloads.
