• A natural but humble leader and mentor: as an accomplished leader, you're able to speak on a broad spectrum of topics; your demeanor diffuses conflicts and puts people at ease, helping you give constructive feedback and build relationships across cultures and interacting and coordinating the work of several teams, to extract the most value from each team member;
• Location is flexible, though there will be occasions when teams will need to meet in-person;

What you’ll do

• Be the single-threaded owner of our Game Platform Services initiative, which is a top strategic bet for the company;
• Manage the entire product life cycle from formulating product strategy and presenting clear, measurable objectives to day-by-day tactical activities;
• Lead the global vision and backlog for the product (i.e., macro and micro product roadmap);
• Own the product’s P&L;
• Manage the production and delivery of all product-related communication with the company’s leadership;
• Coordinate actions within the core team and with related teams (engineering, monetization, distribution, data science);
• Provide product leadership (through your own experience, data analyses, benchmarks, customer/expert interviews, etc.) within the product's core team;
• Drive a solution set across development teams through market requirements, product specifications, and positioning;
• Work with customers and stakeholders to drive alignment and communicate product updates;
• Analyze potential partner relationships for the product and have an active role in new product development.

What you'll need
