Hypercell Games is looking for a Senior Publishing Producer (Puzzle) to take ownership of external puzzle projects and strengthen product decisions across their publishing portfolio. This role involves working with external development studios to drive meaningful changes through to release, focusing on influencing teams without direct authority, challenging weak decisions, and ensuring impactful product changes.

Responsibilities

Take ownership of 2–4 external puzzle projects as the primary product owner on the publisher side
Deeply understand each game's product, metrics, economy, and the development studio's current constraints
Formulate clear product recommendations: what to do, what not to do, and what should be prioritized next
Narrow the scope to 1–3 high-impact changes per development cycle instead of expanding the roadmap unnecessarily
Drive the pace and quality of execution across external studios without direct managerial authority
Help studios make stronger decisions regarding game economy, progression, monetization, retention, and live features
Prepare recommendations on whether to continue, iterate, cut, or escalate a project or product decision
Work closely with UA, analytics, and the Head of Publishing on key product decisions, performance analysis, hypotheses, and readiness to scale
Provide regular updates on project status, key risks, next steps, and decisions requiring management input
Turn product feedback into concrete changes and follow their implementation through to release

Requirements

Experience as a Senior Producer, Lead Producer, Publishing Producer, or Product Lead
Strong experience in mobile F2P product, publishing, or production
Practical experience with hybrid puzzles, ad-driven puzzle games, word puzzles, or closely related mobile game models
Deep understanding of product analytics, hypotheses, and A/B test design
Understanding of hybrid monetization and ad-heavy business models
Strong understanding of mobile game product economics, including progression, level balance, sinks and sources, offer strategy, pacing, retention, and live features
Strong product judgment and the ability to distinguish meaningful impact from noise
Ability to influence external teams without direct authority and drive changes through to release
Strong prioritization skills and the ability to cut unnecessary scope and focus on the most impactful changes
Ability to formulate clear product recommendations rather than simply report project status
Ability to make decisions based on metrics, challenge priorities constructively, and take ownership in ambiguous situations
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, balancing constructive partnerships with high expectations for execution
Conversational English and Russian for day-to-day team communication

Nice to have

Experience working on the publisher side
Previous experience as a product or data analyst
Experience working with external studios, partners, co-development teams, or distributed teams
Experience with live ops and product development beyond the initial testing stage
Experience with hybrid monetization, ad-heavy economics, and offer design
Experience managing several projects simultaneously
Strong familiarity with puzzle games, economy-driven systems, and long-term retention
Experience working closely with UA and analytics teams
Experience making continue / scale / cut decisions

We offer

The opportunity to work on games played by millions of players
Real influence on product and business decisions, with responsibility for meaningful outcomes
Ownership of multiple projects and collaboration with different development studios

The opportunity to contribute directly to the growth of our puzzle portfolio
