of driving engagement and retention) with some responsibilities on
different live service monetization aspects of the game.
Responsibilities in this role will include, but are not limited to,
the following:

- Leverage both qualitative insights and quantitative performance
data to define player problems and player needs.

problems we should be tackling.
- Partner closely with Design and Production to refine solutions
and bring ideas to life.
- Grow the Business - Help define and integrate new operational
frameworks and features that will ultimately grow our capabilities
to read and react to player demands.
- Process and Operations - Identify efficiencies and build new
processes where needed to create better workflows across the
team.
- Prioritize - Work collaboratively with Product Management
counterparts and cross-functional counterparts to prioritize
feature development.
- Mentor Budding Talent - Mentor Product Managers on the team.
Teach them how to flawlessly execute with the tools and operations
in place while growing their capabilities to take on owning
features of their own.
- Opportunity Analysis and Planning - Drive research and analysis
that will help shape the version of key features.
- Performance Tracking - Partner with the analytics team to post
mortem all key launches (seasons, features, promotions) to derive
insights that will drive the evolution of our game.
- Competitive Insights - Stay on top of the competition by
supporting the team with competitive insights on new launches,
strategies, and tactics deployed that will help inform and shape
our roadmap.
Minimum Requirements:
- 5+ years of product management or similar experience,
preferably from gaming (console, PC, or mobile); entertainment;
technology; or consumer products.
- Proven track record of working in highly cross-functional
environments across production, design, marketing, and analytics
teams. We succeed and fail as a team and there's no room for
egos.
- Experienced in partnering with Studio Design teams in feature
development in a true collaborative environment.
- Self-starter and motivated to work in a fast-paced and ever
evolving environment who can balance their time on their own to
deliver results.
- Passionate about games, the psychology behind it, and driven to
do right by the players while maintaining a focus on the
business.
- Strong communication skills - both verbally and
written.
- Experience with data analysis, game systems design, and games
as a service.
