Job Details

 

We're making a football game

 

We are developing a fair game, that is a reflection of football, rather than the football industry. We are creating a game that’s fun right away, driven by gameplay, and where mastery will lead to the most competitive esports scene. We want our game to be accessible from anywhere, on any platform and to anyone, without having to invest a fortune.

We aim to create a global community of players, representative of the world, free of toxicity, and where playing football games is enjoyable and convivial again, whether it’s for fun or at a high competitive level. We want to inspire every kid that plays football or video games and help them feel like they can bring out the best in them, in a respectful and safe league.

GOALS is for everyone, like football can and should be. It’s for the casuals and the pros. For the players, the managers, and the fans. For the creators and the fashionistas - whether you’re into perfecting your team's look, showing off your own style, or just admiring the creativity around you. GOALS is football.

  • Be responsible for the efficiency and effectiveness of the production.
  • Identify and mitigate blockers, reduce dependencies, and ensure unplanned features are addressed appropriately.
  • Work closely with leadership to translate high-level goals into actionable deliverables, setting clear deadlines and expectations for squads.

 

Ideally you have...

  • Strong organizational skills with the ability to streamline processes and eliminate inefficiencies.
  • Excellent communication skills to collaborate across disciplines and facilitate discussions among teams with diverse specialties.
  • Experience in agile methodologies and project management in game production.

Application

For this role, we would like you to include:

  • LinkedIn profile, CV, or any other document that showcases your experience

We strongly encourage you to apply even if you don’t feel that you tick all the boxes. You just might be exactly what we need, even if we haven’t understood it yet. GOALS is still a young company and we change quickly. But one thing that never changes is our conviction that we need a diverse studio environment, filled with different perspectives and skills.

About The Company

GOALS is our attempt to give football the game it deserves. A fair game, that is a reflection of football, rather than the football industry. We wanted to make a game that’s fun right away, without players having to invest a fortune. We are a remote first (within Europe) company with headquarters in Stockholm.

It’s a game about winning, but one where victory comes in more forms than simply winning matches. Focus on trick shots, design awesome t-shirts or create an arena that inspires greatness. No two players will be on the same journey.

GOALS is for everyone, like football can and should be. It’s for the casuals and the pros. For the players, the managers and the fans. It’s for the designers, the audience and the divas. For everyone who loves the game itself or anything surrounding it. GOALS is football.

We are humble in the way we work, always embracing that skilled and passionate people are the heart and core of our studio.

At GOALS we are all about encouraging creativity, curiosity, and innovation. We want a culture where you feel safe to be yourself and can voice your opinion.

We empower flexibility and believe in a balanced workplace. As an inclusive and international company, you decide where to work and when to do the job. We are a remote first (within Europe) company with headquarters in Stockholm.
