Role Description

We are looking for a Director of Product who is excited to own both the big picture and the small details that turn great ideas into great games. This is not a passive leadership role. You will be shaping strategy, guiding teams, making hard calls, and using performance metrics to make smart, informed decisions that help our teams and products succeed.

If you love building strong teams, balancing creative ambition with real-world constraints, and blending creative intuition with thoughtful, data-informed leadership, this role is for you.

What We’re Looking For

  • Lead the Product & Production Function
    • Own and evolve the studio’s product and production practices
    • Partner closely with Executive Producers and creative, art, and engineering leadership
    • Ensure backlogs are clear, priorities are sharp, and teams are aligned to the roadmap
  • Build & Grow Teams
    • Hire, onboard, mentor, and lead Producers and Product Managers
    • Create a strong onboarding experience that sets new hires up for success
    • Coach leaders to do their best work without burning out
  • Own the Product Lifecycle
    • Guide products from concept and market research through launch and live‑ops
    • Define scope, features, and player experiences in collaboration with creative leads
    • Champion player‑first, market‑aware decision making
  • Drive Smart, Data‑Informed Decisions
    • Define and track OKRs like engagement, retention, and monetization
    • Build dashboards and reports that clearly communicate product health
    • Turn qualitative feedback (playtests, Discord, reviews) into actionable improvements
  • Keep Projects on Track
    • Identify risks early (scope creep, resourcing gaps, market shifts)
    • Scenario‑plan and course‑correct before issues become emergencies
    • Foster a culture where shipping matters, without sacrificing team health
  • Align the Studio
    • Act as the connective tissue across product, design, art, engineering, and marketing
    • Resolve conflicts, clarify tradeoffs, and keep everyone rowing in the same direction
  • Improve Tools & Pipelines
    • Spot inefficiencies and reduce manual work
    • Champion better tooling, workflows, and automations that help

Qualifications

  • Significant leadership experience managing Producers / PMs in game development
  • 10+ years of experience in a high leadership role with a games studio, overseeing multiple projects at the same time
  • Multiple shipped titles under your leadership
  • Deep understanding of both the creative and business sides of games
  • Proven ability to oversee multiple projects at different stages
  • Experience with budgets, schedules, resourcing, and delivery accountability
  • Comfort using data, telemetry, and KPIs to guide decisions
  • Decisive, adaptable, and calm in fast‑moving environments
  • Strong communicator with a collaborative, servant‑leader mindset
  • Able to work remotely during core hours (M–F, 9am–5pm PT)
  • Passion for games
  • U.S. citizen or resident

Requirements

  • Direct experience with gaming engines such as Unity and/or Unreal.
  • Deep proficiency in project management tools (Jira/Confluence) and setting up studio-wide workflows.
  • Experience in AR/VR.
  • Previous experience leading and mentoring remote teams.
  • Lives in the Pacific Northwest.
  • Bachelor's degree in Game Production, Business Administration, Project Management, or a related field

Benefits

  • Fully remote - always have been, always will be.
  • Competitive salary.
  • 100% paid Medical, Dental, & Vision.
  • 401k with Matching
  • Travel once a year for fun, team-building retreats.
  • Our culture is fun, unique, and anti-drama (you'll love it!).
  • Work with an incredibly talented team that are gamers at heart and inspire passion for all types of gaming!
