Joyteractive is a product-first mobile gaming company with one clear goal:
To build a portfolio of category-leading puzzle games, targeting a company valuation of $150M–200M+.
We’ve already launched our first hit — Cryptogram: Word Brain Puzzle — a breakout success in its niche and one of the top 15 most-played games in the US in 2024. Now we’re ready to scale. We’re taking what worked — and building on it, fast.

WHO WE’RE LOOKING FOR

We’re looking for a Chief Executive Officer — a sharp, strategic, and deeply product-oriented leader ready to take full ownership of the business side of the company.
You’ll be handed the full toolkit: product, people, capital — and the mandate to grow Joyteractive into a category-dominant portfolio company.
The founder will stay close as a strategic and vision partner, but this is your ship to captain.
You’ll lead through collaboration — building a culture of ownership, and making key decisions together with a high-caliber leadership team you trust.
Turning a one-hit wonder into a scalable hit machine isn’t easy — that’s why we’re not looking for a caretaker. We’re looking for a builder.

• Build and lead a world-class leadership team (in collaboration with the founder)
• Shape and evolve a high-performance, ownership-driven company culture
• Define and lead the long-term strategic roadmap — from growth milestones to potential exit scenarios
• Develop and maintain clear KPIs and OKRs across all functions — with regular cadences for tracking and accountability
• Set up strong, product-centric processes across the company
• Own and manage the company P&L
• Represent Joyteractive externally — with investors, strategic partners, vendors, and the broader gaming ecosystem
• Scale the Cryptogram model into a repeatable framework for new product success — and lead the development of a strong, strategically aligned product portfolio
• Drive execution across product, operations, and hiring — all aligned to business outcomes
• Lead through collaboration — building a culture of ownership, and making key decisions together with a high-caliber leadership team you trust
