Strategic Partnerships Manager

Homa is a global mobile game developer and publisher creating games people love. We partner with studios and internally develop games, having launched over 80 titles, reached over 2 billion downloads, and seen our game All in Hole break into the global top-50 grossing charts. These are milestones, not the finish line.

With deep expertise in product and technology, we built Homa Lab, our proprietary platform that gives developers market intelligence, data tools, and game tech, with AI built-in, to find product-market fit fast and scale mass-market games into lasting experiences players enjoy for years. This is our flywheel: Homa Lab helps studios spot the right ideas early, turn them into games quickly, and reach millions of players. Every launch brings back data and insights that fuel the next hit, making each turn of the loop faster, smarter, and more likely to win. AI supercharges this process, running through everything we do, from everyday tasks to our guiding principles. Talent density powers the loop: 220+ people from 30+ nationalities, bringing expertise from the world\'s best studios and companies. We uphold ambition, curiosity, humility, and focus, delivering with speed, excellence, and candor.

Since the start, we\'ve raised $165M from Headline, Northzone, Eurazeo, Bpifrance, and the founders of King, Sorare, and Spotify, people who\'ve built and backed the games and platforms we admire, now supporting our drive to create the next ones. At Homa, we are building the next billion-player experiences from the ground up and shaping the future of entertainment.

Mission

As a Strategic Partnerships Manager , you\'ll play a key role in supporting Homa\'s growth by working directly with the CEO to shape high-impact partnerships and corporate initiatives. You will build and manage relationships with some of the best gaming studios in the world, support deal structuring, negotiations, and strategic partnerships, and assist in market research, competitive intelligence, and M&A or investment projects.

This position is designed to give you maximum exposure to strategic decision-making and prepare you for a fast-track career in business development, corporate strategy, or venture investing.

• Partnerships: Source and onboard new studios into Homa\'s ecosystem; build presentations, partnership materials, and financial simulations to structure compelling proposals; track and manage the performance of studio partnerships to ensure long-term alignment and success
• Corporate Development: Evaluate M&A and investment opportunities (market mapping, benchmarking, financial modeling); prepare Board-level materials and investment memos; monitor industry trends to help shape Homa\'s growth strategy
• Internal Enablement: Work cross-functionally with Product, UA, Finance, and Data teams to support deal execution; create clear frameworks and reporting to increase visibility on partnerships and opportunities

Requirements

We are looking for someone with high potential, strong intellectual curiosity, and ambition to learn fast and grow. You\'re a great fit if you have:

• Background: You could be a top graduate from a leading university or a self-taught, hungry, high-IQ builder who has proven you can learn fast and think big
• Experience: 0-3 years in consulting, investment banking, VC/PE, strategy, gaming, or any environment where you had to think strategically and deliver under pressure
• Skills: Analytical and creative at once: you can break down a P&L but also pitch a deal in a way that excites a studio founder
• Passion: Deep interest in gaming, media, or tech—not just as a player, but as someone who wants to shape the industry
• Communication: Clear, precise, and persuasive—whether with a studio founder, an investor, or your CEO
• Mindset: Curious, ambitious, and proactive; you\'d rather figure things out than wait for instructions

Even if you don\'t check every box, we encourage you to apply. We value diverse perspectives and backgrounds, and we\'re more interested in your potential and passion than a perfect match to our checklist.
