**THE ROLE**
You are the first hire and the person who turns the plan into a working product and a repeatable system. You will:
Run the 0→1: validate the model, ship the MVP platform, and run the pilot league at the first Skopje venue. Along the way, build the processes, tooling and documentation so the second, tenth and fiftieth hire can plug in, and the playbook works in a new city or country.
Act as AI builder and orchestrator: use AI to do the work of a much larger team, and run our agent system across strategy, event planning, community, research and architecture.
**WHAT YOU'LL OWN**
- Immediate MVP
-Product definition for the web app: player registration, guardian-consent flows, tournament creation, brackets and scoring, and organizer and venue views
-Pilot event delivery with the Operations and Events Lead
-Working prototypes built with AI tools, so we review something clickable instead of along spec
-A weekly build/measure/learn rhythm, with metrics for players, retention, events run and cost per event
- Next phase
-Multi-venue, multi-league operations and age segmentation
-Venue and school onboarding kits, and the sponsor-facing dashboard
-Paid shift-fee staffing model, evolving toward salary plus revenue share
-The platform as the operating system for tabletop tournaments, not just our events
-Original TGM game development
-Expansion playbook for the Balkans and EU
**WHAT YOU BRING**
- Must have
-3+ years in product or project management, with at least one product taken from nothing to real users
-Hands-on AI building: you already use LLMs, agents and automation to ship real work, not just to draft text (workflows you built, agents you orchestrate, tools like Claude Code, MCP servers, no-code/low-code automation)
-Ability to turn ambiguity into a plan and a plan into shipped work with little structure around you
-Strong product judgment under tight budget and time constraints
-Safeguarding instinct: you take children's data, consent and safety seriously and design for them from day one
- Strong plus
-Experience with events, communities, gaming, education or youth programs
-Technical fluency: web app architecture, APIs, data models
-Early-stage or founder experience
-Experience building a team from scratch
**CHARACTER WE HIRE FOR**
:
- Drive: you want to win, and you want the team and community to win with you.
- Versatility: one week you design a data model, the next you run a pilot at a venue, then pitch a school or sponsor.
- Open-mindedness: you change your mind when the evidence changes, and you say so out loud.
- Ownership: you treat the company's money and time as your own.
- Builder's humility: you are comfortable not knowing, and you test rather than assume.
**WHAT WE OFFER**
-Attractive compensation package
-Full AI tooling budget
-A business with real growth potential beyond Macedonia
