  • Be accountable for the prioritized backlog and product roadmap across all parts of the game to allow stakeholder alignment.
  • Connect the plans we are executing and actions we are taking to the overall company goals by being an active contributor to the forecasting process. 
  • Help conduct Player and Market research in order to understand and represent the voice of our current players as well as our soon-to-be players. 
  • Foster a culture of A/B testing, feature validation, and data-driven decision-making.

Please note: Research has shown that some under-represented groups in the gaming industry (eg: women) tend to apply only if they meet every single requirement. Here at Wooga, the desire to learn and the willingness to solve problems are more important to us than your experience on paper.
