Requirements

- Three or more years of product management experience on live mobile games, or equivalent background. - Strong communication and collaboration skills, comfortable working across disciplines and with distributed teams. - Deep familiarity with game analytics and standard mobile game KPIs. - Working understanding of live game operations, marketing approaches, and event design. - Experience setting up and managing long-term production pipelines, including design production processes. - Hands-on experience taking a new game from development through global launch is a strong plus.

Nice to have

- Background in casual or puzzle genres, particularly word or sorting mechanics. - Comfort working across both live titles and pre-launch projects in parallel.
