This role ensures that every game Mob invests in is supported by clear product vision, market validation, measurable success criteria, and disciplined production processes.

The GPM serves as the central decision-driving function between Creative, Production, Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, and Finance—ensuring alignment, accountability, and product outcomes that meet both player expectations and company goals.

Lead the concept evaluation process including market analysis, genre trends, competitive benchmarking, and player opportunity sizing.

Create & own the green-light package for SLT review and approval.
Define minimum gating criteria and business justification required for advancement.

Lead change management: assess any scope, staffing, or timeline adjustments with data and rationale.
Own the risk/assumption log and mitigation plan across departments.

Partner with Marketing, Analytics, and Community to develop the launch strategy, key beats, messaging, and positioning.

4. Post-Launch & Live Insights

Monitor live KPIs and gather player feedback to drive post-launch iterations.
Lead postmortems and integration of learnings into the studio’s development frameworks.

5. Process & Framework Ownership

Own and evolve Mob’s green-light framework, milestone gating standards, and product evaluation methodology.
Establish reusable documentation templates (PRDs, briefs, KPI scorecards).
Ensure disciplined application of processes to prevent misalignment, late-stage surprises, and inefficient spend.
Bring the right subject-matter experts into decisions at the right time—Production, Finance, Analytics, Creative, Marketing, etc
