Develop, deploy, and grow with Unity, the world’s leading 3D game engine. Build for all major platforms from mobile, to PC and console as well as XR, acquire players, monetize your game, and power industrial applications. Backed by Sequoia.
About the role
Unity is the world’s leading game engine, powering experiences that reach 3 billion people every month — and the business behind it is changing fast. We’re evolving from a SaaS model to an AI token-based, advertising-supported model. Some of it we will build, some we will partner for, and some we will buy. This role evaluates those options — and executes when the answer is buy. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

- Demonstrated ownership of post-close integration: standing up the plan, driving functional work streams, and reporting value capture against the original deal model
- Expert valuation and deal modeling — able to build the case, defend the assumptions under pressure, and recognize when to walk away
- Credibility with operators: you can earn the trust of a GM who has to absorb an acquired team, not just of the deal team
