About Big Viking Games
Founded in 2011, Big Viking Games is an independent Toronto-based consumer entertainment company behind YoWorld and Fish World, two long-running social games played by tens of millions of people over the years. Our business is built on loyal communities, recurring player engagement and a team with deep roots in web and live-service technology.
Today, we are modernizing how the company operates to keep pace with a fast-moving technology landscape. We are rethinking how our teams plan, execute and grow the business, and building an organization designed for the next decade of consumer digital products.
About the Role

Your remit covers studio production, product operations, people operations, accounting and IT, and the systems that connect them.
Success in this seat calls for an AI-native operator who builds with AI firsthand and leads the shift to a modernized operating model across the business. You bring a systems view of the organization, a strong command of operating leverage and capital efficiency, and the judgment to balance near-term performance with long-term value creation, while leading change through clear communication and strong stakeholder alignment.
We value in-person collaboration, and this role works from our Toronto Harbourfront office at least 3 days a week.
