As Product Owner (Expert Product Manager), you will take full operational, strategic, and commercial ownership (P&L) of our rapidly scaling resource management title launched in 2025.

Originally built by leveraging and evolving a highly successful, market-validated core framework from our franchise portfolio, this title has adapted those proven mechanics into a massive new setting. Having experienced explosive growth over the past year, the project is now on track to transition into its next lifecycle phase as the standalone, premier flagship title of our entire franchise.

1. The LiveOps Track: Focused on live events, recurring monetization, and community-driven loops.

2. The Strategic Roadmap Track: Focused on deep feature development, core game loops, and long-term retention systems.

As the Game GM/PO, you sit on top of these two tracks. You will act as the ultimate strategic orchestrator, functionally aligning and guiding these track-based PM/PJM dyads to translate our high-level franchise strategy into a unified, high-performing product engine.

While the track PMs and PJMs own the day-to-day agile mechanics, scheduling, and sprint planning, you will focus on the high-level roadmap, commercial targets, and team priorities. You will work directly with your track PJMs to ensure roadmap feasibility and drive the overall production engine to meet our aligned fiscal goals.

Note on Team Structure & Matrix Setup: To keep your focus 100% on product direction, strategic vision, and game growth, this role does not have direct HR/line reports, for the time being. Line management for the engineering, art, and design disciplines is handled by our studio discipline heads, and the track PMs report to the Director of LiveOps for their career development. The track-specific PJMs and PMs manage the day-to-day sprint scheduling and tactical execution, leaving you free to drive functional and strategic leadership to hit our P&L targets.

YOUR MISSION

1. Product & Commercial Ownership (P&L)

• P&L & Forecast Accountability: Take complete ownership of the game's commercial health, driving the production team to meet aligned financial goals.

• Budget Alignment: Partner directly with the Head of Franchise (HoF) and Director of LiveOps (DoL) to define the annual budget and P&L goals (forecast) that align with our overarching franchise strategy.

• Performance Tracking: Actively track progress against targets across the fiscal year (FY) and confidently implement course corrections as required to safeguard our commercial trajectory.

• Team & Tooling Advocacy: Define the team and tooling needs of the game, collaborating closely with the HoF and DoL to secure resources.

2. Strategic Roadmap Design & Track Orchestration

• Full Roadmap Ownership: Own the long-term product roadmap and prioritize the backlog to balance commercial beats with player engagement.

• Functional Track Leadership: Set clear strategic goals, guardrails, and commercial frameworks for the LiveOps and Strategic Roadmap tracks, ensuring both pipelines are deeply synchronized.

• High-Level Feasibility Partnering: Work directly with the track PMs to ensure the high-level roadmap and priorities are well-planned, feasible, and realistic given the team’s resources and constraints.

• Strategic vs. Tactical Boundary: Empower the track PMs and PJMs to fully own their day-to-day sprint execution, scheduling, and agile ceremonies, while you maintain the strategic "what" and "why".

3. Feature Design & Process Optimization

• Strategic KPI Input: While you do not have direct ownership of detailed feature design (which belongs to our design discipline), you will provide critical input on design goals and target KPIs to ensure all features align with strategic growth.

• Process Support: Support resource allocation to continuously implement, review, and improve internal team processes alongside the project managers.

• Key Recruitment Stakeholder: Act as a critical stakeholder and decision-maker in the recruitment process for key project roles.

• Commercial DNA: Strong background in managing product P&Ls, designing forecasts, and executing high-yield monetization/LiveOps strategies.

• Master of Delegation: A leader who understands how to empower PMs and PJMs to run daily sprint mechanics, focusing instead on high-level production milestones, commercial strategy, and team alignment.

• Analytical Rigor: Deep comfort with data validation, cohort analysis, and transforming player metrics into strategic product decisions.
