Senior Director, Marketing – New Game Launch

Scopely is looking for a Senior Director, Marketing to lead marketing across the Scrabble franchise, including Scrabble Go and an exciting new unannounced mobile title, based in Barcelona on a hybrid basis (2 days per week in office).

This is a rare opportunity for a marketing leader who wants to shape both the future of an iconic live game and the launch of something entirely new.

At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play every day—whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues or through our deep connections with our communities of players. We are a global team of game lovers developing, publishing, and innovating in the mobile games industry, connecting millions of people around the world daily.
