Competition and community is at the center of Skillz’ broader ecosystem strategy, and we believe we’ve only scratched the surface.

What you'll do:

  • Product Vision: Work cross functionally with stakeholders to define the consumer product vision, strategy and roadmap for the competition platform.
  • A strategic problem solver capable of synthesizing data from multiple sources (including analytics, user research, marketing research, and design) to identify key customer needs.
  • Collaboration: Define product goals working closely with engineers, designers, analysts, data scientists and other PMs so the “why” is clear to all stakeholders.
  • Communication: Team player and excellent communicator capable of clearly sharing feature development progress, metric impact, etc to a multi-functional group.
  • Roadmap: Build big impactful initiatives from start to finish, articulating outcomes, scoping requirements, planning development, and shipping iterative improvements.
  • Execution: Work with the engineering team to estimate ship dates of major deliverables with a 75% or better accuracy.
  • Results Driven: Drive analysis of releases and share results through quarterly business reviews (QBRs); build a track record of delivering on forecasted outcomes.
  • Work with analysts to create KPI dashboards and generate insights on product performance to inform feature design.

Your Skillz:

  • 5+ years of experience building and delivering customer engaging experiences in mobile games or apps. Your work will touch a range of platforms and should clearly demonstrate the success and impact of your efforts for both users and business.
  • 5+ years of experience in a senior product management role, preferably in gaming (console, PC, or mobile); interactive entertainment; technology; or consumer products.
  • Proven track record building large consumer facing features that have moved key metrics by at least 10%.
  • Experience in defining vision, strategy, roadmap and taking multiple products through the software development lifecycle from conception to launch.
  • Entrepreneurial drive and demonstrated ability to achieve stretch goals in an innovative and fast-paced environment.
  • Knowledge of mobile games, gamified consumer products and refined visual design sensibility.
  • A great communicator (oral, written, and visual) who has the ability to influence and build consensus both within a product team and with executive stakeholders across the company.
  • Passionate advocate for the consumer with proven results in achieving stellar user experience within tight constraints.
  • BA/BS and/or MA/MS in a related field

Nice to have:
