Job description
- Commercial Feature Ownership & ROI: Act as the ultimate owner for individual live titles or high-impact features. Drive the product evolution by applying a strict commercial ROI lens to all decisions-evaluating opportunity costs, resource estimation, and real business value rather than just gut feeling.
- The MVP Mindset: Ruthlessly prioritize and define what "Minimum Viable" means for feature prototypes. Convincingly strip away nice-to-haves to test core hypotheses cheaply, validating player retention and monetization as quickly as possible.
- Fast Monetization Design: Focus heavily on hybrid-casual monetization mechanics. Drive product strategies integrating early subscription funnels, automated pop-ups, and powerful emotional or visual triggers (cosmetics, exclusive drops, impulse-buys) instead of heavy, slow-burn mid-core systems.
- Rigorous Scoping & PRD Creation: Translate product strategy into thorough Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) containing explicit effort estimations and primary/secondary KPI uplifts as a mandatory prerequisite for production hand-off.
- Growth & Marketability Alignment: Work hand-in-hand with the User Acquisition (UA) and Creative Ads teams to treat growth and product as a singular engine. Map in-game progression loops directly to CPI and ROAS targets, ensuring marketability signals dictate what actually gets built.
- End-to-End Experimentation: Proactively set up A/B tests, live-ops events, and player behavior experiments in our internal data platform (Sundash). Analyze metrics and player friction points to scale winning concepts aggressively or execute fast data-driven pivots.
- Pure Product Focus: Dedicate your energy to analyzing systems, drafting feature concepts, and maximizing impact. You will not be bogged down by sprint planning, retros, or daily agile team coordination-those processes are managed entirely by our Production and Project Management team.
Requirements
- Commercial Gaming Mindset: Proven experience in mobile game product management (specifically hybrid-casual, casual, or hyper-casual genres), operating with a "business leader first, game maker second" attitude.
- Data-Driven Decisiveness: Exceptional ability to interpret data dashboards and early UA metrics (CPA, CPI, Blended ROAS) to adapt game design, features, and economy balancing on the fly.
- Calculated Risk-Taker: Experience working in a fast-paced "fail fast, learn faster" exploration culture, with the ability to launch early, iterate rapidly, and ruthlessly "kill your darlings" when the math doesn't add up.
- Monetization Instincts: Deep understanding of modern hybrid economies, early subscription funnels, and e-commerce psychology (retention, conversion, instant consumption hooks) that drive high player value.
- Cross-Functional Generalist: An agile communicator who can align seamlessly with Data Scientists on ROI calculations, UA managers on campaign scaling, and Artists/Designers on player-centered UI flows.
- Execution & Ownership: Hands-on experience as a clear Feature Owner, with a track record of writing clean, analytical PRDs and managing backlogs strictly by commercial impact.
