Über ININ Games

At ININ Games, we believe that video games are more than just entertainment—they are a vital part of our cultural heritage that deserves to be preserved for future generations. That’s why we’re dedicated to bringing classic games from the ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s back to life on modern platforms. We don’t simply re-release them; we provide historical context, enhance them with thoughtful improvements, and ensure they reach global audiences, both digitally and physically.


Working with legendary developers such as SEGA, Taito, Irem, NatsumeAtari, and Yu Suzuki, and revitalizing iconic franchises like Space Invaders, Bubble Bobble, Cotton, Turrican, Wonder Boy, and Shenmue, we celebrate the artistry of gaming and make timeless classics accessible for today’s players. ININ is part of United Games Entertainment, an independent developer and publisher with a global market focus on North America, Europe, and Japan.


Your mission

  • Full ownership of the ININ label, including strategic, operational and financial leadership.
  • Lead, inspire, and grow a cross-functional, multinational team covering IP/game acquisition, development, marketing, sales (direct-to-consumer, digital and retail) and product lifecycle management—with a strong focus on ensuring successful new releases across all platforms and markets.
  • Develop and execute short- and long-term strategies to grow the label’s portfolio and market presence, while continuously identifying ways to leverage and expand the value of the existing catalogue.
  • Oversee and coordinate global release planning across digital and physical channels, ensuring on-time delivery, quality standards and commercial impact.
  • Manage and expand relationships with key partners, licensors, and stakeholders, always with the player and community experience in mind.
  • Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) and ensure alignment with company goals—including measures that reflect customer satisfaction and engagement.
  • Oversee new releases and back-catalogue monetization initiatives across global markets.
  • Develop compelling business cases for new projects, partnerships, and publishing opportunities.
  • Work closely with group-level service functions (Finance, HR, Procurement, Fulfillment & Logistics) to ensure efficient operations.
  • Build and safeguard the ININ brand identity, positioning and value proposition.
  • Evaluate and manage risks related to publishing, licensing, and commercial agreements.
  • Identify trends and opportunities in the retro and indie games market to drive innovation and differentiation- supporting both commercial goals and community growth.


Your profile

  • Degree in business administration or a comparable field.
  • At least 5 years of experience in a similar leadership role with full budget and personnel responsibility.
  • Proven expertise in international multi-platform publishing and release planning.
  • Deep knowledge of go-to-market strategies across retail, digital, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) channels.
  • Experienced in managing development projects and collaborating with licensors and partners across cultures—especially with Japanese companies.
  • A hands-on, creative thinker and clever problem-solver who seizes opportunities and makes things happen.
  • Passion for retro and classic video games and their cultural relevance.
  • Strong communication skills and fluency in English and German; Japanese is a plus.


What you can expect of us

  • The opportunity to work with legendary gaming franchises and industry pioneers.
  • A passionate and creative multinational team that values ownership and initiative.
  • Flexible remote working conditions.
  • Competitive compensation and attractive participation program.
  • Professional growth and advancement in a dynamic and growing segment of the gaming industry.
