Product Manager - Games

Embark is hiring a Product Manager to join THE FINALS, our critically-acclaimed innovative online shooter. As a game maker embedded in the development team, you will help set development and publishing priorities to target improvements in business KPIs. Because a key tool in your toolbox will be quantitative data, close collaboration with data analysts and data scientists will be paramount.

You must have great insight into what makes free-to-play games tick, and understand the delicate balance between players, developers, and business needs. You are also highly analytical, and able to balance when to deep dive into the quantitative with when to make judgment calls on what the numbers are actually saying.

Example of responsibilities

• Champion the generation and refinement of live service features and content that target improvements in business KPIs, establishing clear and measurable goals
• Proactively poke and prod at the player journey and product machinery of the game, looking for the best places to improve retention, engagement, and monetization in ways that benefit the player experience
• Perform data analysis to form hypotheses on player behavior to inform product and publishing priorities
• Optimize our content roadmap and monetization strategies
• Work with multiple cross-functional teams across development, live ops, data, and senior management to shepherd the product management perspective from end to end
• Serve as a key customer of the data team, helping define its backlog so more valuable questions can be answered

We would love if you have

• 4+ years of experience in live service titles, ideally in the free-to-play space, guiding engagement and monetization content
• Experience working with data analysts/scientists and user research experts, collaborating on the best ways to work with quantitative and qualitative data
• Strong quantitative analysis skills and a history of supporting data-informed decisions
• Familiarity with PvP shooters and the competitive landscape
• The perspective and flexibility to interpret and present imperfect data - sometimes there will be no conclusive data to be had
• The ability to explain complex ideas and motivate teams through mutual understanding
• An organized, detail oriented and self-motivated personality, couched within a pragmatic mindset
• An understanding of player psychology and their motivations, and how this can impact their experience with various features
