We empower some of the world’s most beloved games to deliver delightful, personalized ad experiences for players wherever they are and whichever screen they are on.
Responsibilities
You set the product vision, define use cases, analyze customer and financial implications, and ultimately choose the most promising path for success.
You are capable of navigating, managing and adapting with ambiguity; able to untangle complex problems and uncertainties while maintaining transparent communication and drawing support/feedback from stakeholders.

As a Product Manager, you are user/player-centric, understanding their needs and requirements, plus anticipating future trends that will serve their needs. You are impact-focused, excel at execution; able to coordinate complex multi-functional projects, anticipate bottlenecks, provide escalation management, anticipate and make tradeoffs, balancing the business needs versus technical constraints.
