Senior Product Manager
Job Description
Why does your role matter? 🎖️
In the crowded landscape of mobile gaming, countless apps launch, but few truly capture hearts or earn lasting loyalty. As a Senior Product Manager, your mission is to build a skill gaming experience that stands out — not just through gameplay, but through the emotions it evokes and the habits it shapes.

By blending sharp product instincts with deep player empathy, you’ll help shape a game that players love, trust, and champion. This is your opportunity to define how users experience skill gaming in the U.S. — not just what they play, but how they feel while playing. You’ll be at the heart of building a product that delivers delight, earns loyalty, and drives long-term impact.
