We envision a future where games are shaped by a strong cinematic identity and structured narratives capable of leaving a lasting impact on audiences. Our mission is to create meaningful, engaging stories centered on compelling characters and immersive worlds — delivering interactive experiences that resonate beyond the screen.

Nahora Studio is currently in a strategic development phase, focused on assembling a core team in preparation for presenting the project to investors.

As part of this phase, a single-player game concept has been developed, featuring a strong narrative foundation and designed to deliver an immersive cinematic experience set within a fantasy universe.

We are seeking a Managing Director to lead the studio’s strategic, operational, and financial direction, helping translate creative vision into a sustainable, investable business.

Please note:During the pre-funding phase, this role will be structured as a flexible hybrid Cargo, primarily focused on contributing to the project’s development and preparing it for investment. Upon securing funding, the Cargo will transition into a full‑time hybrid role based in Funchal, Madeira Island. At that stage, formal employment will be established.

Role Responsibilities
  • Lead the studio’s strategic vision and operational execution, ensuring alignment between creative ambition and business viability;
  • Establish operational structures, processes, and frameworks for an early‑stage studio;
  • Define and execute business strategy, including planning for growth, funding rounds, and investor relations;
  • Oversee financial planning, budgeting, and risk management;
  • Act as the primary external representative of the studio to investors, partners, publishers, and stakeholders;
  • Evaluate potential funding opportunities, grants, co‑development agreements, or partnerships, and collaborate with founders on financial decision‑making;
  • Help build and lead an operational team, mentoring future senior hires;
  • Support founders in maintaining creative vision while balancing commercial and operational realities.
Required Skills
  • 10+ years of senior leadership experience in executive management, operations, or corporate strategy;
  • Proven track record of scaling early‑stage ventures, ideally in creative, technology, or entertainment industries;
  • Demonstrated ability to align creative or innovative projects with financial and operational sustainability;
  • Strong strategic thinking, financial acumen, and operational discipline;
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and external representation skills;
  • Empathetic, structured, and results‑oriented leadership approach;
  • Experience with early‑stage fundraising, investor relations, or business development is highly valued;
  • Fluency in Portuguese and English.
Plusses
  • Direct experience in video game studios, digital entertainment, or technology sectors;
  • Familiarity with investment frameworks, venture capital, and publisher negotiations;
  • Understanding of legal and regulatory frameworks for operating a Empresa in Portugal;
  • Experience managing hybrid creative‑technical teams.
