About the role

Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we're also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play. Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It's the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence. We are looking for a strategic and operational leader to oversee and optimize the Stockholm studio's operations, ensuring it thrives as an integral part of our global franchise. Reporting to the COO, this role will be responsible for ensuring Stockholm location has studio clarity around operational efficiency, financial management, and strategic alignment with the broader organization. You will work across time zones to represent the Stockholm studio at the highest levels, ensuring the teams have the processes, resources, and environment needed to deliver fun and amazing games while fostering a strong, transparent, and collaborative culture.

About the company

Mojang Studios is a Microsoft-owned game developer. The company was founded in Stockholm, Sweden and has offices around the world, including Stockholm, Redmond, Tokyo, London, and Shanghai. We're always working on new and exciting ways to expand the Minecraft universe. Our community is global and incredibly diverse. We keep this in mind when developing anything, as we want people to feel included in Minecraft. And in recruiting, our goal is to make Mojang Studios as diverse as our community. We got started as a tiny indie developer, and part of our culture still reflects that heritage. But we're also proud to belong to Xbox Game Studios, which creates unique opportunities to grow and develop. To help us achieve amazing things, we have built an equally amazing studio space. Situated right on the water by Söder Mälarstrand, it's filled to the brim with all the tools, toys and caffeine required to create world-class entertainment. But in the end, it's the people of Mojang Studios that make this place truly special. When you join, you'll find yourself in the company of incredibly bright, warm, and creative individuals – all united and working toward a single goal. Come help us reach it!
