25d • Remote

About The Position

Battle Creek Games is a remote, mobile gaming studio behind some of the most-played racing and hunting titles in the U.S., including No Limit 2, Offroad Outlaws, and American Marksman, reaching millions of players worldwide. If you’re excited about contributing to our titles, we’d love to hear from you.
Role Overview
This role exists to give the leadership team a true operating partner—someone who strengthens how the company is run as it scales. As product and player growth accelerate, the company needs greater rigor around planning, financial clarity, and decision-making. Today, too much of that responsibility sits informally with the CEO.
As Chief of Staff, you’ll operate as a leadership-level generalist with deep strength in finance and data. You’ll own the company’s operating rhythm, financial planning, and board narrative, while helping the executive team stay focused on the decisions that materially move the business. This is not a support or coordination role. You’ll be expected to challenge assumptions, surface tradeoffs, and consistently raise the bar for how the company operates.

Requirements

• Experience operating at the leadership level in a product-led tech company, ideally having owned or co-owned P&L, strategy, or general management responsibilities.
• Deep comfort with financial planning, forecasting, and metrics, with the ability to explain tradeoffs clearly to non-finance leaders.
• Prior experience as a Chief of Staff, GM, VP, or similar role where you were trusted to operate as an extension of the CEO.
• Strong data instincts. You know how to ask the right questions of numbers, not just report them.
• Proven experience preparing board materials and leading board-facing processes.
• Judgment and presence to sit at the leadership table as a peer, not a coordinator or note-taker.

Nice To Haves

• Experience in gaming, consumer subscriptions, or marketplace businesses.
• Prior exposure to audits, complex compliance environments, or international operations.
• MBA or similar background, if paired with real operating experience.

Responsibilities

• Own board and investor prep end to end: financials, operating metrics, narrative, materials, and coordination, ensuring leadership walks in aligned and well-prepared.
• Lead financial planning across the company, including budgeting, forecasting, and scenario modeling, effectively covering much of what a Director of Finance would own.
• Build and run the company’s operating cadence, including quarterly planning, goal setting, and follow-through.
• Design and lead a weekly executive business review covering revenue, spend, hiring progress, and product timelines, keeping discussions focused on decisions, not updates.
• Act as a thought partner to the CEO and leadership team, pressure-testing plans, clarifying priorities, and helping translate strategy into concrete operating plans.
• Coordinate auditors, compliance work, and external financial partners, keeping the process tight and predictable for the rest of the team.
• Plan and run leadership off-sites and on-sites, with clear objectives, strong preparation, and outcomes that actually change how the team operates.
• Leverages AI and automation tools to scale personal impact, extend capacity, and operate at a higher strategic level.

Benefits

• Remote by Design: We’re a fully remote team with processes and tools intentionally built for effective, distributed collaboration.
• Collaborative Culture: Enjoy a supportive environment where cross-team collaboration and rapid iteration are highly valued.
• Impactful Contribution: Play a hands-on role in advancing our most popular titles.
• Professional Growth: Expand your skills by working alongside experienced teammates hailing from EA, Small Giant Games, Rovio, and Pocket Gems.
• Competitive Benefits & Pay: Compensation is at or above the 75th percentile for the gaming industry, most health plans are fully covered or low-cost, and we offer unlimited PTO to support long-term, sustainable careers.
