Values Value is a recruiting company with expertise in game development and is currently looking for a Head of Product to run an in-house game studio/squad within the gaming business unit of a global ad-tech group. The unit builds and scales a portfolio of casual evergreen mobile games—cards, words, puzzles, board games—and is rebuilding itself as an AI-native organization, with work organized around small squads.

Responsibilities

Own the eProfit of your squad's games end to end: product, LiveOps, UA and monetization decisions, with retention, ARPU, CPI and eROAS as leading indicators
Shape your studio: propose the targets you are ready to commit to and the team you need to hit them (product, marketing, other skills), staffed from within the unit or through new hires; make the input-vs-output trade-off explicit
Write the PRDs, hypotheses and experiment plans for the highest-stakes bets yourself, and stay in the data daily
Build the strategy and plan for scaling your studio
Use AI as the squad's operating layer: agents for research, QA, release and analytics, pulling data and models from the shared intelligence layer
Run the squad scorecard (lagging + leading indicators); when it goes off track, own the recovery plan
Set and maintain the standards every squad works to: PRD quality, hypothesis and experiment design, experiment qualification, release evaluation, how product metrics are read
Make product expertise accessible to other product managers or other directly responsible individuals: a set share of your time for office hours, experiment reviews, playbooks and worked examples from your own studio, so that what works in your studio spreads across the unit
Lead by example: your studio is the reference implementation of the standards

Requirements

7+ years in a senior product or product-engineering leadership role in mobile gaming, specifically ad-monetized casual evergreen titles (cards, words, puzzles, board games, simple casual)
Genuinely hands-on: you write PRDs, live in the data and build things yourself with AI
AI-native: concrete examples of AI tools accelerating your output that made it to production
Leadership by proximity: you've led small, high-performance teams in a fast-moving environment and grow people by working alongside them
Deep understanding of ad-monetization and UA economics: eCPM, ARPU/ARPDAU, retention curves, LTV, CPI, eROAS
Fluent English (at least Upper-Intermediate)

Nice to have

You founded or co-founded a mobile gaming studio
You've directly scaled an ad-monetized casual game from early traction to meaningful portfolio revenue
You've built internal tooling, automation pipelines or SDK integrations alongside product work

We offer

Real end-to-end ownership: your squad, your games, your P&L, with a clear path to more scope as you deliver
A company-wide voice on how product is done, not just in your own studio
A chance to help shape an AI-native operating model that is deliberately ahead of where most of the industry works today
Part of a larger ad-tech group, access to a proprietary ad network, data and personalized monetization infrastructure as a built-in edge
A small, senior, high-ownership team with no unnecessary management layers
A culture built around data-driven decisions, ownership, continuous improvement and a lean-startup mentality
Hybrid role in Barcelona, 4 days/week in the office
Full-time staff position, fully official employment in Spain
Relocation to Barcelona, with a relocation package for the candidate and family
Medical insurance, meals and beverages at the office, gym and language courses
Paid vacation and sick leave
6-month probation period
Stock options in the gaming unit
