What We Need

The Associate Product Manager is a member of the Core Product Management team, responsible for driving overall game success across the BioShock franchise. This role contributes to both future product development and post-launch and competitive analysis.

Your work will help identify opportunities to improve player engagement, retention, and overall product performance.

You will support the day-to-day business working closely with a Senior Product Manager, by monitoring live game health, evaluating the impact of updates, and translating data and research into clear recommendations that influence in-game features and content.

Success in this role requires strong analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to collaborate across design, production, analytics, marketing, and operations. You will play a key role in ensuring product decisions are data-informed and aligned with delivering engaging player experiences.

  • Player Advocate: Build a deep understanding of our players and ensure product strategies are grounded in their needs and behaviors. Represent the player perspective in cross-functional discussions, ensuring their voice is clearly reflected in product decisions.

 

Who We Think Will Be a Great Fit

The ideal candidate for this role is deeply committed to delivering exceptional player experiences with a relentless focus on quality. You ground your thinking in player empathy, using data and research to uncover meaningful insights. You seek the ‘WHY’ before finding the ‘HOW’. You thrive in cross-functional environments, partnering across disciplines to solve complex challenges and create lasting value for both our players and the business.

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
