Your inspiration, imagination and willingness to take risks will ultimately result in your best work - and that’s what we want! Using your vast gaming experience, we’re asking you to experiment, to make a mess, to have fun, to always make it feel fresh and to find the kid inside you.

As part of the Nickelodeon digital leadership team in a highly impactful role, you will be responsible for the games business strategy, creative development and production execution across web, native premium, and emerging platform experiences.

If you live at the intersection of games and kids’ entertainment - and have an obsession for working directly with customers, we want you on the team.
