Product Manager - Pokémon GO
1 year ago
Our mission is to fully realize this truth: Pokémon are real. As a game PM, you’ll play a meaningful role in this mission.
The ideal candidate will be excited to build fun experiences for Trainers, push the boundaries of location based games and augmented reality, and bring Pokémon GO to Trainers across the world. They’ll deeply empathize with our Trainers (qualitatively and quantitatively), they’ll share that knowledge with our talented artists and engineers, and they’ll seek out novel ways to bring new Trainers into the fold. Sound like you?
Responsibilities
- Think big. You’ll look beyond today’s constraints and think about big, product-defining opportunities.
- Understand our Trainers. You’ll care deeply for Trainers and constantly learn about their experiences with the game. Your team, and the Pokémon GO team broadly, will trust you as the voice for our Trainers.
- Communicate. You’ll influence and persuade your team to follow you towards those product-defining opportunities. You’ll convince product and company leadership to trust you.
- Simplify. You’ll distill complex problems down to their essentials, but you won’t oversimplify them.
- Prioritize. You’ll determine the possible impact of your team’s work and weigh it against the effort required to make the work happen, without shying away from big opportunities.
- Call your shots. You’ll understand the right amount of data needed to forecast impact, ensure your work is measured, and ship work which delivers on your forecasts.
- Execute. You’ll do whatever it takes to ship.
- Understand technical trade-offs. You’ll accurately estimate the technical complexity of possible work, so you can accurately prioritize the work.
Qualifications
- You have 2+ years of experience of Product Management.

- You have experience working with diverse teams.
- You play Pokémon GO every month.
Bonus Points
- You’ve driven double-digit player growth.
- You’ve been a Product Manager for a top 100 mobile game and/or a mobile card-collection role playing game.
- You’re a level 40 or higher Pokémon GO Trainer.
