Head of Gamification

Remote · USA Full-time New today

Playson is on a mission to set the new standard for player engagement in iGaming. As our Head of Gamification, you won’t just shape mechanics—you’ll architect the emotional core of our gameplay experience.

You’ll take full ownership of our Promo Tools ecosystem—Jackpots, Tournaments, Free Spins, Short Races, and next-gen engagement features—evolving it into a competitive advantage that delights players and drives measurable operator value.

This is a strategic, cross-functional leadership role with direct influence on product direction, company-wide initiatives, and roadmap prioritization. You'll sit at the intersection of behavioral psychology, technical execution, and commercial strategy—steering the design of experiences that deepen player immersion and accelerate revenue performance.

Join us to lead innovation where it matters most: the moments that make players stay.

What You’ll Do
  • Own the full strategic lifecycle of promotional mechanics—from concept to global rollout—across a portfolio of high-impact tools.

  • Shape a data-informed roadmap aligned with business outcomes, player psychology, and market movement.

  • Identify product opportunities that create competitive moats and generate measurable uplift in engagement and retention.

  • Translate complex engagement models into clear, scalable features—partnering closely with Game Design, Backend, UX, and Commercial.

  • Lead stakeholder alignment from executive planning to delivery, presenting roadmaps and strategic bets to C-level leadership.

  • Prioritize with intent: every feature shipped should reinforce our position as a market leader in player engagement.

  • Establish and monitor the KPIs that matter—not vanity metrics, but real player behaviour and operator impact.

✅ What Makes You a Fit
  • 5+ years of product ownership in B2B iGaming, ideally in real-money slots with global reach.

  • Proven record of shipping promo mechanics that scale—you’ve led features like Jackpots, Free Spins, Missions, or engagement-first innovations.

  • You think like a strategist and move like an operator—balancing long-term vision with focused execution.

  • Fluent in KPIs, segmentation, A/B testing, and behavioural data—but never detached from the player’s experience.

  • You can lead without authority, align cross-functional teams, and advocate for product priorities at any level of the business.

  • Confident presenter—able to distill complex ideas into clear narratives for senior stakeholders and execs.
