Job Description

Join our team as a Staff/Principal Product Manager, where you will own a product line end to end, set the idea agenda for your area, and drive work through spec, design, engineering, QA, and launch. You will be responsible for generating new feature ideas, building rigorous business cases, and hitting the impact you predicted. This role is based in San Francisco and requires a hands-on individual contributor with exceptional analytical ability and a track record of revenue impact.

  • Ownership of a product line end to end, including the revenue attached to it, and setting the idea agenda for the area.
  • Researching competitors, the industry, and users to generate new feature ideas, and maintaining a live Top 3 list of the highest-impact ideas.
  • Pitching ideas with an impact calculation attached, building rigorous business cases for substantial initiatives, and driving work through spec, design, engineering, QA, and launch.
  • 8+ years of professional experience, with deep, demonstrable ownership of consumer product where users pay directly and often. We measure years on the job, not years holding a particular title
  • Comfort operating as a hands-on individual contributor. This seat has no direct reports
  • Nice to have: free-to-play games, serialized fiction, short-form video or audio; coins, virtual currency, offer design or live operations; a founder or first-employee stint
  • Exceptional analytical ability. Advanced SQL. You build your own models and you check other people’s
  • A track record of revenue impact you can quantify, with the methodology behind it
  • You are useful in week two. You have built and owned the kind of surface this portfolio needs — paywalls, pricing, coins and offers, retention loops, onboarding — at real scale, and can start contributing before you have been fully onboarded
  • Based in San Francisco. This role is five days a week onsite
  • Generates ideas rather than waiting for them
  • Comfortable being measured against their own forecast
  • Have lots of fun building a generational AI x Entertainment company
  • Brings solutions instead of problems
  • Happy to be moved to wherever the biggest problem is
  • Takes direct feedback well, gives it directly, and does not need to be handled
  • Quick to action
  • Data driven — and does the analysis themselves
  • Autonomous on execution, collaborative on direction
