Your expertise will be key in crafting top-tier customer experiences and maintaining product excellence as the company scales.

  • Work closely with the management team to fully grasp the product vision, roadmap, and customer needs, translating them into actionable goals.
  • Refine the product backlog by engaging stakeholders and users to clarify scope, requirements, dependencies, and success criteria.
  • Create detailed feature requirements, including wireframes when needed, to guide development teams in planning and delivering features effectively.
  • Partner with Engineering and Data Science teams to ensure technical designs align with user needs and to address any development challenges.

  • Familiarity with SaaS or web-based product delivery, encompassing tools and technologies, e.g. APIs, authentication solutions, user analytics, and tracking. (Note: Expertise in gaming is prioritised over SaaS knowledge, which the management team can supplement.)

  • Mastery at interacting directly with technical teams, assessing and discussing product deliverables, and conveying complex concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
  • Superior communication and interpersonal skills with a track record of effective collaboration within a remote, global team and the ability to build strong relationships with remote colleagues.
