Company Description

Immersive Gamebox (IGB) is a fast-growing entertainment company bringing multiplayer gaming experiences to global audiences. With 35+ venues across 7 countries and a 4.9/5 average customer rating from over 2 million players, we partner with leading studios like Netflix, Sony, WB, and Paramount to create world-class interactive content using cutting-edge technology. 

Role Description 

We are hiring a Studio Lead to take ownership of Immersive Gamebox’s content function and drive the end-to-end development of our titles. This is a hands-on leadership role that combines creative direction, technical problem-solving, and team management. You’ll be accountable for delivering games that are on time, on budget, and world-class in quality and fun – helping define the future of immersive social gaming.

This is a unique opportunity for an ambitious leader to become a cornerstone of our growing content function – someone we can build around, and build with. You’ll manage a blended team of in-house creatives, freelancers, and external studios, with the scope to evolve that structure as you shape how we build and deliver content globally.

Why Join Us?

Immersive Gamebox is redefining how people play together. With our proprietary Gamebox hardware and blockbuster IP collaborations (including Squid Game, Batman & Angry Birds), we’re creating the next generation of immersive, social gaming experiences.

As Studio Lead, you’ll play a fundamental role in shaping the future of our content and building the systems, teams, and experiences that power our growth. This is your chance to:

• Lead a function that is critical to the success of the company.
• Work with world-class partners such as Netflix, Warner Bros., and Paramount to adapt globally recognised IP into the Gamebox format.
• Grow with a fast-scaling company that rewards initiative, adaptability, and ambition.
• Own the E2E production of our games, influencing how millions of people worldwide experience our games.

Who You Are: 

Experience is important, but more than anything, we’re looking for someone hungry, ambitious, with a proven track record of success. We are open to exceptional applicants who may not fit the criteria.

You’ll fit right in if you:

• Have an entrepreneurial mindset and love solving complex problems with creativity and practicality.
• Are hungry to build something new – shaping not just games, but the processes and culture behind them.
• Are excited to build out, and grow with our content function.
• Thrive when given ownership. 
• Are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves in Unity as you are managing people and priorities 
• Move fast, stay adaptable, and don’t need layers of structure to perform at your best. 
• Are motivated by impact – you want to see your work played, loved, and talked about by millions.
• Bring energy, curiosity, and a high-achieving mindset to everything you do. 

This is a rare opportunity to step into a role where skill, initiative, and leadership will directly shape the future of our content and our company.

• End-to-End Game Delivery – Own the full lifecycle of Immersive Gamebox titles, from concept and prototyping through to production, launch, and live operations.
• Hands-On Development Leadership – Guide Unity-based development, solve technical challenges, and support your team in building innovative, replayable, and robust experiences.
• Project & Resource Management – Oversee timelines, budgets, and priorities to ensure every game is delivered to the highest standard, balancing creative ambition with commercial impact.
• Technical Strategy – Drive the evolution of our SDK and toolset, making smart decisions on workflows, pipelines, and processes to enable scalable, high-quality content.
• Team Leadership & Growth – Build & lead a hybrid team of in-house staff, freelancers, and external studios, while helping to shape how the function evolves over time. As the content grows, you’ll play a key role in building its capabilities, processes and culture.
• Quality Assurance – Build and manage a robust testing and QA process, ensuring every release is stable, reliable, and delivers exceptional player experiences.
• Reporting & Strategy – Report to the SVP of Commercial and the leadership team, providing updates on progress, risks, and priorities, while contributing to the long-term content strategy and roadmap.
• Innovation & Replayability – Push the boundaries of our proprietary Gamebox hardware (touchscreen, motion tracking, projection mapping, group interactivity) to create unique, industry-leading experiences.

Requirements

• Deep technical fluency with Unity.
• Proven experience leading or playing a major role in the delivery of game development projects.
• 5+ years of professional experience in game development, ideally across production and/or technical roles.
• Comfortable working in fast-moving, entrepreneurial environments – you thrive on problem-solving and ownership.
• Demonstrable track record of delivering high-quality content to deadlines.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across disciplines and partners.
• 6+ years of experience in game development.
