Product Manager - Pokémon GO

Our mission is to encourage exploration of the real world together with friends, family, and community through the universal appeal of Pokémon.

The ideal candidate will be excited to build fun experiences for Trainers, push the boundaries of location based games and augmented reality, and bring Pokémon GO to Trainers across the world. They’ll deeply empathize with our Trainers (qualitatively and quantitatively); they’ll share that knowledge with our artists, engineers, game designers, and producers; and they’ll seek out novel ways to bring new Trainers into the fold. Sound like you?

Responsibilities

• Think big. You’ll look beyond today’s constraints and think about big, product-defining opportunities.

• Understand our Trainers and industry. You’ll care deeply for Trainers and constantly learn about their experiences with the game. You’ll closely follow gaming trends, gather market and competitor intelligence, and use those findings to inform our strategy and roadmap.

• Communicate. You’ll influence and persuade the Pokémon GO team to follow you towards those product-defining opportunities. You’ll convince product and company leadership to trust you.

• Prioritize. You’ll figure out the possible impact of potential work and weigh it against the effort required to make the work happen, without shying away from big opportunities.

• Call your shots. You’ll understand the right amount of data needed to forecast impact, ensure work is measured, and ship work which delivers against forecasts.

• Execute. You’ll do whatever it takes to help the team ship.

• Required in-office 2 days a week.

Qualifications

• You have 2+ years of experience in Product Management.

• You’ve been a Product Manager for one or more mobile free-to-play products.

• You have deep knowledge of mobile free-to-play games, their relevant audiences, and the gaming industry overall.

• You have experience working with diverse teams that span continents.

• Experience working on cross-functional teams with ability to communicate effectively through written and verbal communications, including asynchronous interactions with others.

• Ability to work in a fast-paced hybrid environment and handle stress appropriately and/or ability to solve practical problems and be sufficiently adaptable to handle dynamic situations with little advance notice.

• You regularly play Pokémon GO.

Plus If...

• You’ve driven double-digit growth (players or revenue).

• You’ve been a Product Manager for a top 100 mobile game.

• You’re a level 55 (new level curve!) or higher Pokémon GO Trainer.
