As a Senior Product Manager on this unannounced cross-platform strategy game, you will work across complex and high-impact product areas. You will partner with Product Managers and cross-functional pod members to guide features and major beats from concept through live operations.

This is a player-focused role that calls for strong collaboration, thoughtful communication, and a deep understanding of player needs across audience segments, regions, and platforms. You will help connect product decisions to both player experience goals and business outcomes.

  • Use core metrics to develop hypotheses and strategies that support player value while balancing business goals.
  • Guide product innovation that improves target KPIs, drawing on both new ideas and proven practices when each is most appropriate.
  • Develop and refine decision-making frameworks that help teams navigate tradeoffs in resource-constrained and evolving environments.
  • Partner with the UX Lead and research teams to design and run hypothesis testing that supports informed, data-driven decisions.
  • Mentor and support junior product managers, contributing to an inclusive and collaborative team culture.

What We Are Looking For:
  • Significant experience leading product management work in mobile free-to-play games, ideally on a live game.
  • Own and drive experimentation through A/B testing to validate hypotheses and guide decision-making
  • Experience driving revenue and engagement goals on a live game.
  • Ability to balance technology, business priorities, and user experience.
  • Experience working within complex player ecosystems that include a range of lifecycle stages and spending behaviors.
  • Ability to clearly articulate the "why" behind product decisions to build alignment around product vision.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.

Bonus Points:
  • Experience in cross-platform development across mobile, HD, and PC, with an understanding of tradeoffs and synergies across platforms.
  • Deep familiarity with ARPG mobile games and/or 4X mobile games.
