Job description

What we’re doing

We’re building the AI-powered coaching platform that transforms how gamers learn, compete, and win. Backed by a16z and $12M in funding, we’re live in 5 titles with 100K+ users, expanding rapidly into new games, hardware partnerships, and SDK integrations.

You’ll Thrive Here If…

• You’re energized by ambiguity and move fast to bring clarity where others stall.
• You get a rush from finding the simple, elegant solution to a messy, complex problem.
• You think like a GM//always asking how a product choice impacts revenue, growth, and user success.
• You’re creative at problem solving — able to structure messy problems, build frameworks, and beat ambiguity with clear, actionable paths forward.
  

Some things you’ll do

• User discovery & insights
  • Embed yourself into gamer communities (Reddit, Discord, conferences) to surface real user needs and trends.
  • Talk to users, run surveys, and synthesize feedback into actionable insights.
  • Translate customer problems & business goals into clear, prioritized product requirements.
  • Analyze product usage patterns (SQL, Mixpanel) and connect insights directly to business outcomes.
    
• Data-driven decision-making
  • Define success metrics, own dashboards/funnels/experiment readouts, and deliver decision-ready insights.
  • Size and scope opportunities using product data, market sizing, and an 80/20 lens to de-risk decisions quickly.
  • Identify opportunities to double down, design/run experiments (A/B tests, pilots), and present clear recommendations.
• Product strategy & execution support
  • Surface & scope opportunities — investigate market pain points, partner with leadership on shaping strategy, then translate direction into scopes, specs, and cross-team execution.
  • Write scopes/specs, manage JIRA, and keep initiatives moving smoothly across Design/Eng/Marketing
  • Support launch plans, onboarding flows, rollout processes, and usage monitoring.
  • Connect product metrics to conversion, activation, retention, and revenue

Skills You’ll Bring

• Product & business foundation • 2+ years of PM experience at a product-driven tech company, owning meaningful product surface area (B2C a plus) • 1+ years experience in a fast-paced, analytical role (e.g., chief of staff, bizops, VC/PE, banking, consulting, or growth-focused roles at a high-growth tech company)
• Analytical & strategic • Strong ability to structure ambiguous problems, form hypotheses, design/interpret experiments, and make data-driven decisions • GM‑like mindset with awareness of how product connects to revenue, growth models, pricing, and go-to-market
• Execution & product sense • Nice to have - Shipped AI-powered products or features (LLMs, recommendation engines, intelligent automation) • Ability to deconstruct visions into clear, actionable roadmaps that align with company objectives
• Mindset & communication • Ownership‑first, bias-to-action, thrives in early‑stage/high‑urgency environments • Deep user empathy, first‑principles thinker, obsessed with simple, elegant solutions • Excellent communicator who can turn chaos into clarity and align stakeholders

You WILL NOT enjoy this role if

• You need a rigid playbook or lots of hand‑holding — this is a fast-moving startup with shifting priorities.
• You avoid digging into data or SQL, being data informed is core to this role.
• You prefer long research cycles over shipping quickly and iterating.
• You’re uncomfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
• You aren’t naturally hyper‑organized you’ll be expected to keep metrics, JIRA, specs, and experiments tidy and up‑to‑date so the team can move fast.
• You don’t play video games
