This is a high-impact, cross-functional role focused on leveraging AI to accelerate development, increase efficiency across our studios and publishing teams, and unlock new creative capabilities.

• 7+ years of product management experience in games, creative tools, or productivity platforms.
• Demonstrated experience building and scaling AI-powered products in real-world production environments.
• Deep understanding of AI technologies relevant to game development, including generative AI (text, image, animation), procedural content generation, and machine learning pipelines.
• Strategic thinker with strong product instincts, skilled at shaping product vision, prioritizing complex roadmaps, and driving measurable impact
• Passionate about enabling creative and technical teams to work faster and more efficiently.
• Excellent communicator with experience leading in cross-functional, fast-paced environments.
