It’s an immense area of scope, and you’ll have a team of expert and supportive partners across Design, Engineering, Quality Assurance and your fellow Product Managers who’re always looking to discover and do the right thing.
This role is anticipated to be a hybrid work position, with some work on-site and some work-from-home. The potential home studio for this role is Irvine CA.
Responsibilities
Build a deep knowledge of the product by conducting market research, understanding our customers, interviewing stakeholders (and more!) to identify needs and opportunities, shape and communicate product requirements, and work cross functionally to establish and own a feature level vision and strategy that you and the team can execute and deliver
Develop a roadmap for the product at the feature level, both for the near-term and an aspirational vision of what Blizzard should do in the future that’s innovative and valuable
