We are looking for a Lead Product Manager to lead the development and growth of our Experimentation Platform and Reporting. In this role, you will be responsible for driving the product vision, strategy, and execution of our platform, which enables teams across the organization to design, execute, and analyze experiments that drive product improvements and business outcomes.

As a key player, you’ll work closely with engineering, data science, game analytics, design, and cross-functional teams to ensure our platform delivers value by supporting complex testing methodologies and scalable solutions. You will need a strong technical background, an understanding of experimentation principles (A/B testing, multivariate testing), and a passion for empowering data-driven decision-making.

What You'll Do: 

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Develop and communicate a clear product vision for the experimentation platform, aligned with business goals and user needs.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Partner with internal teams (engineering, data science, analytics, UX) to identify key experimentation needs, gather requirements, and build scalable solutions.

• Technical Leadership: Collaborate with the engineering team to define the architecture and technical direction of the platform, ensuring it can handle large-scale testing and real-time data analysis.

• Experimentation Best Practices: Advocate for and implement best practices in experiment design, execution, and analysis, ensuring teams can derive actionable insights.

• User-Centric Development: Collect feedback from end users (product managers, data analysts, and marketers) to improve the platform’s features and usability continually.

• Metrics & Reporting: Define success metrics for the platform, track performance, and communicate results to stakeholders. Ensure the platform provides robust reporting features.

• Cross-Functional Coordination: Ensure the platform integrates smoothly with other tools and data sources, working closely with data engineers, marketing teams, and other stakeholders.

• Market Research: Stay updated on industry trends, new technologies, and competitive platforms to ensure our experimentation platform remains cutting-edge.

• Project Management: Drive agile processes, manage backlogs, and ensure timely delivery of features.

What You Bring: 

• Experience: 5+ years of experience in product management, with a focus on technical platforms or data products. Previous experience with experimentation tools (such as Optimizely, Google Optimize, or in-house platforms) is a strong plus.

• Technical Background: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Comfortable with understanding APIs, data pipelines, and complex technical architectures.

• Experimentation Expertise: Strong understanding of A/B testing, multivariate testing, and statistical analysis. Ability to translate experimentation needs into product features.

• Cross-functional collaboration: Proven ability to work with engineering, design, and data science teams to deliver high-quality products.

• Analytical Skills: Strong data-driven mindset with the ability to define metrics, analyze data, and communicate insights effectively.

• Agile Methodologies: Experience working in an Agile environment with a strong grasp of sprint planning, backlog grooming, and prioritization.

• Communication: Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to distill complex technical concepts into simple terms for stakeholders.

Bonus Points: 

• Experience building or managing large-scale data products or platforms.

• Familiarity with experimentation frameworks, statistical modeling, and causal inference.
