At Supercell, we believe that the best teams make the best games.

For Clash of Clans, that means constantly evolving a game millions of players care deeply about, while staying true to what makes it special.

We’re looking for a Feature Lead to take ownership of how new features come to life in the game, working at the intersection of design, product thinking, and team leadership.

As a Feature Lead you’ll lead a small, cross-functional team focused on building and improving permanent systems, partnering closely with Live Ops & Economy/Monetization and Gameplay & Content to shape the future of Clash.

This is a role for someone who enjoys both building great features and helping people do their best work.

  • What You'll Be Doing
  • Own the feature roadmap end-to-end, from identifying opportunities through player data, research, and competitive analysis to defining specs, aligning stakeholders, and shipping.
  • Write clear, thoughtful feature specifications and lead the design process yourself, staying close to the details rather than only reviewing others’ work.
  • Work in close partnership with Live Ops & Economy/Monetization and Gameplay & Content teams to ensure features land cohesively across all parts of the game.
  • Define success metrics upfront, ensure proper instrumentation, run A/B tests, and make fast, data-informed decisions on what to scale and what to stop.
  • Lead and develop a cross-functional team of Engineers, Designers, UX Designers, and Producers, creating clarity, removing blockers, and enabling the team to move at pace.
  • Represent the feature team in cross-team planning, surface risks early, and keep stakeholders aligned on priorities and progress.
  • Take ownership of outcomes, including key game metrics, and help the team navigate both successes and challenges.
  • What You Have
  • A background in systems design or product management, with experience shipping features in a live free-to-play mobile game.
  • Comfort writing feature specs and leading design from concept to release, not just reviewing but actively contributing.
  • Strong intuition for game systems and economy design, and an understanding of how features influence player behaviour and game performance.
  • A hypothesis-driven, analytical mindset, with experience defining success metrics and making decisions based on data.
  • An organised and structured approach, with the ability to prioritise across multiple opportunities and focus on what matters most.
  • A leadership mindset, whether or not you’ve held a formal lead title, with a willingness to take ownership, step into challenges, and support others.
  • Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work closely across disciplines including Engineering, Design, Live Ops, Analytics, and UA.
  • Experience working in international, cross-functional environments.
  • A genuine interest in Clash of Clans and a curiosity to go deep into its systems and player experience.
  • A self-starter approach to use AI. You've found ways to use it in your day-to-day work, you experiment, figure things out and bring the same energy to every new challenge.
  • Would Be Nice if You Also Have
  • Previous experience leading or mentoring others, or a clear motivation to grow into a people leadership role.
  • Experience managing performance and supporting the growth of team members.
  • Comfort operating in high-pressure situations and leading the team through uncertainty or crises.
  • Where You'll Be

This role can be based in either our Helsinki or London studio.

You’ll work closely with team members across both locations and beyond, as part of a globally distributed Clash of Clans team.

To be successful, you may be expected to travel occasionally to collaborate with teammates in person.
