Job description

THE OPPORTUNITY

KRAFTON's publishing platform connects our games with players around the world — from the moment a player discovers a title, through every session they play, to the long arc of live service. We build the products that make this connection work, helping our globally live‑serviced games run reliably and grow over time.

This role is designed to strengthen product execution across our global publishing platform. We are looking for a product manager who can elevate the speed and quality of decisions, and take a product from concept through launch and into live operations with full ownership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Define the strategy and roadmap for publishing‑platform products, balancing near‑term execution with long‑term direction.
• Lead products end‑to‑end — from concept, through development, launch, to live operations — working closely with engineering, design, business, and operations.
• Partner with global game studios and external partners to ensure our products deliver value in production environments.
• Define success metrics, monitor them with data, and continuously improve player experience and operational efficiency.
• Bring a North American perspective to global decisions so that our products serve players across different markets.

QUALIFICATIONS

• 5+ years of product‑management experience in gaming, IT services, commerce, or marketing platforms.
• A track record of taking at least one product through the full cycle — from concept to launch to live operations.
• Experience leading cross‑functional projects across globally distributed teams.
• Hands‑on use of AI tools as part of daily work, not for experimentation alone.
• Professional proficiency in Korean and English.
• Authorization to work in the United States.
• Willingness to travel to Korea when needed.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with game‑publishing platforms or B2B2C‑style products.
• Background at a global gaming or entertainment company, working across multiple regions.
• A learning mindset willing to dive into a new domain and grow into an expert.
• Intrinsic curiosity about the game industry and global publishing.
• Experience using data analytics to drive product decisions.
• A genuine appreciation for games and care for the player experience.
