We are a fast-moving game studio preparing for a critical pre-launch phase, focused on building a game designed for long-term player engagement and sustainability.

Employer: Number Seven Food Technology Limited

Position: Senior Game Operations Manager

Salary: £35,000 – £60,000 a year

Job Type: Full-time 

Work location: Canary Wharf, London 

 

What We Offer:

• ‎A key leadership role with real ownership of game operations and live performance
• ‎The opportunity to shape a game from pre-launch through live operations
• ‎Competitive salary with long-term incentives (bonuses, equity, or similar)
• ‎A clear growth path toward Game Operations Lead / Producer-level responsibility
• ‎A collaborative, fast-paced startup environment
• ‎UK visa sponsorship available (where applicable)

Other Benefits:

• Paid leave
• ‎Free parking
• ‎Exposure to cross-functional decision-making at a foundational stage of the game
• ‎The chance to directly influence player experience, retention, and monetization

Your Role Will Include:

As Senior Game Operations Manager, you will own the game’s operational strategy before and after launch.

‎Pre-Launch

• ‎Define and lead the game operations strategy for launch
• ‎Partner with product and engineering to ensure systems support:

1. ‎Strong player onboarding and early retention
2. ‎Long-term progression and engagement

• ‎Contribute to the design of:

1. ‎F2P monetization and incentive systems
2. ‎Live operations readiness, including events and tooling
3. ‎Plan and prepare initial live events and operational content for launch

‎Post-Launch

• ‎Fully own live game operations, including:

1. ‎In-game events, seasonal content, and long-term activity planning
2. ‎Player retention, conversion, monetization, and re-engagement strategies
3. ‎Monitor and analyze key metrics such as retention, conversion rates, and ARPU
4. ‎Use data and player behaviour insights to continuously improve the game
5. ‎Collaborate closely with marketing and community teams to align product features, player-facing content, and growth initiatives

What We’re Looking For:

We value how you think about games more than job titles.

‎You are likely a great fit if you:

• ‎Genuinely enjoy playing and analysing games, especially F2P or live service games

‎Regularly think about:

• ‎Why players stay or leave
• ‎How progression, rewards, and events shape behaviour
• ‎Have 3–5+ years of experience in game operations, live ops, game product, or related online product roles

‎Understand key areas such as:

• ‎F2P monetization and incentive systems
• ‎Player retention mechanics and engagement loops
• ‎Live events and KPI-driven decision-making
• ‎Are comfortable working in early-stage environments with ambiguity
• ‎Take strong ownership, learn quickly, and communicate effectively across teams
• ‎Bring a clear passion for games and continuous improvement

‎Nice to Have (Not Required):

• ‎Experience launching or operating a live game
• ‎Background in mid-core or long-running live service games
• ‎Experience designing or studying live events
• ‎Familiarity with alternative game business models (e.g. Web3, hybrid F2P)
• ‎Experience working with international or global player bases

 

‎If you love games, think deeply about why players engage, and want real ownership over a game’s long-term success, this role gives you the chance to shape a title from pre-launch to live operations. You won’t just run systems — you’ll help define how the game lives, grows, and thrives.

 

Join us if you genuinely love games, enjoy thinking deeply about how they work, and want to take responsibility for their long-term success.

Job Type: Full-time

Pay: £35,000.00-£60,000.00 per year

Benefits:

• Free parking
• Store discount
• UK visa sponsorship

Work Location: In person
