Job Description:

We are looking for an experienced Product Manager to help us deliver an inspiring creative environment for our game teams. You will be responsible for the Content Creation Tooling area, which empowers teams and content creators with an adaptable tooling platform for creating content and experiences in our proprietary game engine, Fiction Factory.

The Fiction Factory engine is made up of a highly-optimized runtime capable of high-quality 2D and 3D mobile gaming across a huge range of mobile devices, a content creation toolchain, and a content and build pipeline to enable King’s game teams to iterate quickly.

As a Senior Product Manager in the Game Production organization, you will have an active role in defining our product strategy and building strong partnerships with our internal stakeholders and customers. You will also be responsible for understanding user problems and needs based on data and collaboration with our Users, UX and Engineering teams.

This role belongs to part of the Kingdom we call Shared Tech. The teams within Shared Tech work as B2B organizations working across all the technology that we use to power our live games, including data infrastructure, machine learning, payments infrastructure and the game engines themselves. The vision within Shared Tech is "We are the stage where King games love to perform”.

Your role within our Kingdom

In this role, you will have the opportunity to work with our major games and one of the largest game user bases in the world. You will be part of a product team responsible for end-to-end user experience, bringing impact to the business and end users, building new tools, technologies, and experiences, as well as improving existing ones.

Your responsibilities will include;

  • Responsible for the product space for the Content Creation Tooling, which includes the framework for our content Editor and the platform for extending tooling capabilities.
  • Effectively balance long-term technical innovation, user-facing improvements, strategic initiatives, and technical debt to deliver short- and long-term impact
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with internal users, collaborators, and customers: capture needs, identify areas for collaboration, and communicate about strategies, plans, and releases
  • Identify important opportunities in collaboration with Games, Product Managers, Engineering, and Product Design
  • Drive product vision, strategies, and roadmaps in the context of broader organizational strategies and goals
  • Incorporate data, research, and market analysis to inform product strategies and roadmaps
  • Lead product discovery and development activities in partnership with Engineering and UX
  • Support and motivate a team of engineers and other cross-functional representatives
  • Coach and mentor junior product managers, and contribute to the overall product organization development

Skills to create thrills

  • Proven experience working as a Product Manager in a cross-functional team
  • Experience working in the game industry or on content creation tooling is good to have but not essential.
  • Experience building and shipping applications or software features/products within a large-scale environment. Experience managing platform, API, or other foundational products is a plus.
  • Due to the technical nature of the products, a technical background is preferable but not essential. Experience managing a product targeted at game developers is a plus.
  • An outcome, impact, and continuous discovery mentality
  • Strong communication skills: you can articulate both the vision and the details of product performance to teams and internal partners in both written and verbal form
  • Experience creating buy-in, strong collaboration, and relationship building with engineers and stakeholders
  • Experience integrating customer feedback into product requirements, driving prioritization and pre/post-launch execution and evaluation
