Full Job Description
THE OPPORTUNITY

KRAFTON's publishing platform connects our games with players around the world - from the moment a player discovers a title, through every session they play, to the long arc of live service. We build the products that make this connection work, helping our globally live-serviced games run reliably and grow over time.

This is a role, created to strengthen product execution across our global publishing platform. We're looking for a PM who can elevate the speed and quality of product decisions, and who can take a product from concept through launch and into live operations with full ownership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Define the strategy and roadmap for publishing platform products, balancing near-term execution with the longer-term direction.
  • Lead products end-to-end - from concept to development to launch to live operations - working closely with engineering, design, business, and operations along the way.
  • Partner with global game studios and external partners to ensure our products deliver real value in production environments.
  • Define what success looks like, monitor it with data, and continuously improve both the player experience and how efficiently we operate.
  • Bring a North American perspective into global decisions, so our products serve players across different markets well.


QUALIFICATIONS

  • 5+ years of product management experience in gaming, IT services, commerce, or marketing platforms
  • A track record of taking at least one product through a full cycle - from concept to launch to live operations
  • Experience leading cross-functional projects across globally distributed teams
  • Hands-on use of AI tools as part of your daily work - not occasional experimentation, but tools that have changed how you work and what you deliver
  • Professional working proficiency in both Korean and English (you will be collaborating with our HQ in Korea on a daily basis)
  • Authorization to work in the United States
  • Willingness to travel to Korea when needed

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • Experience with game publishing platforms, or B2B2C-style products
  • Background at a global gaming or entertainment company, working across multiple countries or regions
  • A learner's mindset - willing to dive into a new domain and grow into a domain expert
  • Genuine curiosity about the game industry and how global publishing operates
  • Experience using data analytics to drive product decisions
  • A real appreciation for games, and care for the player experience


In California, the expected salary range for this position is $106,000-$146,000. The listed expected salary range represents a good faith estimate and the actual pay may depend on a variety of job-related factors that can include experience, education, skills, and location.
