Job Details

At Hacksaw, we’ve made a name for ourselves by breaking the mould — creating bold, innovative games that disrupt expectations and redefine what mobile-first iGaming content can be. Now, we’re on the hunt for a Product Owner with a creative edge — someone who doesn’t just manage game development, but helps craft the soul of each title.


Your Role:
As a Product Owner, you’ll be the central creative force behind a portfolio of new games. From concept to launch, you’ll guide the look, feel, and emotional heartbeat of each title — collaborating with a multidisciplinary team of artists, animators, sound designers, musicians, and developers to deliver games that stand out for their style, polish, and gameplay innovation.


This is a role for someone with vision — someone who can sense when a spin feels just right, when an animation lands with satisfying impact, and when a sound cue makes a moment unforgettable. You're not here to follow the market — you're here to set the tone.


What You’ll Do:

  • Own the end-to-end creative development of several game titles
  • Collaborate closely with visual and audio teams to define the look, pacing, and feel of each game
  • Design and refine unique, engaging game mechanics and animation timing
  • Work with developers to ensure the creative vision is technically achievable and polished
  • Spot the “X-factor” — that special ingredient that makes a game feel alive
  • Maintain alignment between creative ambition and delivery timelines

What We’re Looking For:

  • Proven experience as a Product Owner in game development
  • Deep understanding of game feel: animation flow, visual timing, audio integration, and moment-to-moment engagement
  • A keen visual and auditory eye — you know when something looks or sounds “off”
  • Strong leadership and communication skills in creative environments
  • Experience working cross-functionally in fast-paced, agile teams
  • Passion for crafting games that are not just playable — but memorable

Nice to Have:

  • Experience in the regulated real-money gaming industry
  • Familiarity with game engines and production pipelines
  • Experience as a software developer or working with software developers
  • A portfolio or video reels of past creative work (games you’ve led or significantly shaped)

Why Join Hacksaw?

We’ve built a reputation as one of the most forward-thinking content providers in iGaming — from bold visual design to fresh game mechanics. You’ll be joining a company where creative risk is encouraged, quality is non-negotiable, and your ideas can shape what players around the world experience next.
