Job description

VP of Product | Creator Platform | New York

$200,000 to $250,000 base + equity

New York City, NYC-based candidates only

Reports directly to the CEO

The best creator platforms turn players into builders. This one is doing it for the next generation.

Millions of young people want to make games, not just play them. The tools have never been more powerful, but the path from first build to a published game, an audience and a real portfolio is still broken.

We've partnered with a Series A games company to hire its VP of Product. They've built their own creation engine and a community where young creators make, publish and level up together, with partner studios and universities at the top end. The model works with thousands of creators. The platform you’ll own takes it to millions.

You'll own:

• The platform thesis and product roadmap
• The full creator journey: onboarding, building, publishing and discovery
• Reputation, portfolios and progression that keep creators coming back
• A multi-sided ecosystem of creators, studios and partners
• Turning a free-first community into a sustainable business
• AI-powered tools that amplify what creators can build

This is not a VP role with a team of PMs underneath you.

It's hands-on. You'll run discovery, sit with creators, make the hard prioritisation calls and ship fast, working directly with engineering and the CEO.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has led product on a creator platform, UGC ecosystem or social product at scale
• Has owned parts of the creator journey: onboarding, publishing, discovery or monetisation
• Has built for multi-sided ecosystems of creators, audiences and partners
• Can point to a platform they grew over years, not just launched
• Is fluent in AI and what it changes for creators
• Wants a smaller team with a big mission and real ownership
• Experience in games UGC (think Roblox, Fortnite Creative or Minecraft) is a big plus.

There's no product org to inherit. You'll set the thesis, and the next million creators will build on what you ship.
