*** Must have Video Game Experience ***Role Overview

The Game Product Manager (GPM) is responsible for end-to-end ownership of a game’s lifecycle—from pre–green light concept evaluation through green light approval, production execution, launch, and post-launch performance. This role ensures that every game Mob invests in is supported by clear product vision, market validation, measurable success criteria, and disciplined production processes.

The GPM serves as the central decision-driving function between Creative, Production, Engineering, Analytics, Marketing, and Finance—ensuring alignment, accountability, and product outcomes that meet both player expectations and company goals.

Key Responsibilities1. Pre–Green Light Ownership
  • Lead the concept evaluation process including market analysis, genre trends, competitive benchmarking, and player opportunity sizing.
  • Develop the Product Brief: core lore, target audience, differentiators, KPIs, success metrics.
  • Build ROI rationale in partnership with Finance and Production: staffing plan, timeline, budget, risk analysis.
  • Create & own the green-light package for SLT review and approval.
  • Define minimum gating criteria and business justification required for advancement.
2. Product Ownership Through Production
  • Maintain and continuously refine the product roadmap, prioritization framework, and delivery milestones.
  • Work with Production to translate vision into milestones, scope, and sprint objectives.
  • Ensure alignment between feature set and target KPIs, player motivations, and market fit.
  • Drive cross-functional communication and ensure all teams work from the same assumptions and priorities.
  • Lead change management: assess any scope, staffing, or timeline adjustments with data and rationale.
  • Own the risk/assumption log and mitigation plan across departments.
3. Launch & Go-to-Market
  • Partner with Marketing, Analytics, and Community to develop the launch strategy, key beats, messaging, and positioning.
  • Ensure the product meets the definition of readiness for launch, including quality thresholds, analytics instrumentation, and content completeness.
  • Coordinate playtests, player research, and feedback cycles pre-launch.
4. Post-Launch & Live Insights
  • Monitor live KPIs and gather player feedback to drive post-launch iterations.
  • Lead postmortems and integration of learnings into the studio’s development frameworks.
5. Process & Framework Ownership
  • Own and evolve Mob’s green-light framework, milestone gating standards, and product evaluation methodology.
  • Establish reusable documentation templates (PRDs, briefs, KPI scorecards).
  • Ensure disciplined application of processes to prevent misalignment, late-stage surprises, and inefficient spend.
  • Bring the right subject-matter experts into decisions at the right time—Production, Finance, Analytics, Creative, Marketing, etc
Qualifications
  • 5–10 years of game product management experience, ideally with shipped titles.
  • Strong understanding of market dynamics, player motivations, and product-to-market fit.
  • Prior experience owning roadmaps, KPIs, playtest cycles, and green-light evaluations.
  • Exceptional cross-functional leadership and ability to influence without formal authority.
  • Data-driven decision-making; comfortable with forecasting, KPIs, and iterative development.
  • Experience working with Creative, Production, and Engineering partners on complex projects.

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
