This is a consulting role focused on end-to-end economy system creation, documentation, and collaboration with internal teams.

Requirements: * 3+ years as an Economy Designer, Game Balancer, or Systems Designer on F2P titles. * Demonstrated experience building F2P economies from scratch, not only live-ops adjustments. * Contribution to at least one shipped or live-service game featuring: * A Season Pass / Battle Pass or similar progression/monetization model. * Competitive or multiplayer gameplay (MOBA, action, sports, hero-based, etc.). * Deep understanding of: * F2P monetization models (cosmetics, passes, bundles, events). * Progression, pacing, and player retention loops. * Economic balance: scarcity, perceived value, inflation control. * Strong proficiency with Excel / Google Sheets for modeling, simulations, and forecasting. * Excellent English documentation skills.
