Senior Mobile Live Game Product & Economy Consultant in United Arab Emirates at Jobgether

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, who manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior Mobile Live Game Product & Economy Consultant based in United Arab Emirates.

This is a consulting opportunity for an experienced mobile gaming professional to shape the product, economy, monetization, and retention strategy of a competitive free-to-play title.
You’ll work on a mobile game in soft launch, with paid user acquisition already underway, giving you the opportunity to influence critical systems at an important stage of growth.
The role requires a holistic view of the player experience, connecting FTUE, progression, monetization, engagement, and competitive fairness.
You’ll use real player and product data to identify friction, uncover opportunities, and recommend changes that can meaningfully improve game performance.
Your work will involve navigating complex trade-offs where changes to one system can directly affect retention, spending, progression, or player trust.
You’ll collaborate across product, game design, economy, analytics, and LiveOps to turn analysis into practical product decisions.
This role is ideal for someone who has shipped and measured changes on live F2P mobile games and enjoys solving interconnected product challenges.

• Evaluate the first-time user experience and early player journey, identifying tutorial drop-off, time to meaningful gameplay, early-game difficulty, and opportunities to improve onboarding.
• Assess how effectively new players understand core mechanics and determine which systems and complexity should be introduced early versus later.
• Analyse the game economy, including currencies, progression systems, sinks, faucets, resource scarcity, progression gates, and the overall player power curve.
• Evaluate progression pacing, player demand, long-term goals, and the relationship between power progression and competitive fairness.
• Identify and mitigate potential pay-to-win risks while maintaining a healthy and sustainable economy.
• Review monetization strategy across first purchases, offers, pricing, regional price points, payer segmentation, conversion, battle passes, rewarded advertising, and spending progression.
• Develop recommendations for monetization structures that enhance the player experience rather than negatively affecting engagement or competitive integrity.
• Analyse retention and live-game depth, including core loops, match quality, fairness, short- and long-term goals, collection motivation, and daily or weekly engagement mechanisms.
• Evaluate events, content cadence, LiveOps opportunities, churn patterns, and return behaviour to identify ways to strengthen long-term engagement.
• Analyse raw player and product data, including cohorts, funnels, retention, conversion, and behavioural metrics, to identify meaningful patterns and opportunities.
• Translate quantitative and qualitative analysis into clear, actionable product recommendations and help prioritise opportunities based on expected impact.
• Work cross-functionally with product, game design, economy, analytics, and LiveOps teams to implement recommendations and assess the results after changes are shipped.
• Balance monetization, progression, retention, player experience, and competitive fairness when making product recommendations.

• Strong professional experience working on live free-to-play mobile games.
• Deep practical expertise in game economy and progression systems.
• Strong understanding of mobile game monetization, retention, engagement, and player behaviour.
• Demonstrated experience making economy, balance, progression, or monetization decisions for a live mobile title.
• Ability to work directly with raw player and product data and independently identify meaningful insights.
• Strong understanding of cohorts, conversion funnels, retention metrics, player segmentation, and behavioural analysis.
• Sound analytical judgment, including the ability to distinguish between reliable evidence and data that does not yet support a clear conclusion.
• Proven ability to translate analysis into concise, practical, and impactful product recommendations.
• Strong understanding of competitive integrity and the risks associated with pay-to-win mechanics.
• Ability to collaborate effectively across product management, game design, economy, analytics, and LiveOps functions.
• Strong written and spoken English communication skills.
• Ability to work independently in a part-time consulting capacity while communicating recommendations clearly to stakeholders.

Nice to Have:

• Experience supporting mobile games through soft-launch phases.
• Experience with paid user acquisition-driven mobile games.
• Experience designing or optimising battle passes, offers, LiveOps programs, or rewarded advertising.
• Experience evaluating the interaction between acquisition, monetization, progression, and retention systems.

• Part-time consulting contract.
• Fully remote working arrangement.
• Opportunity to influence the product strategy of a competitive free-to-play mobile game in soft launch.
• Direct impact across game economy, monetization, retention, FTUE, and LiveOps.
