Product ManagementOtherProduct Manager

Translate product strategy and high-level epics into detailed user stories, requirements, and acceptance criteria — specifically for puzzle systems (core loop, level content, meta progression, economy).

Maintain and prioritize the product backlog; ensure clarity and readiness for each sprint.

Coordinate closely with Dev, Game Design, Art, and QC to ensure timely, high-quality delivery.

Take the lead on specific roadmap segments or feature areas — from discovery to release — such as level content pipeline, puzzle mechanic iterations, LiveOps events, or monetization features.

Work with Tech Lead to assess feasibility, estimates, and tech risks.

Use data, player feedback, and competitive benchmarking of top puzzle titles to propose new features, balancing player value and business impact.

Set up and track experiments (A/B tests, content variants, difficulty tuning tests)

Contribute to level-completion funnel analysis, session-length optimization, and economy balancing specific to puzzle gameplay.

Act as the main day-to-day decision-maker for feature scope, priorities, and trade-offs, while escalating strategic questions to Product Lead / Business Unit Manager.

Ensure all stakeholders (Game Design, Dev, Art, QC, UA/Marketing when relevant) are aligned on requirements and timelines.

Collaborate with QC to define acceptance criteria and quality standards for releases.

Monitor in-game experience, flows, and economy — with particular attention to puzzle-specific UX: level difficulty pacing, hint/booster usage, and progression fairness.

Ensure release readiness through UAT coordination and risk flagging.

Support junior POs (if any) through coaching on backlog management, documentation, and basic analysis.

Contribute to building puzzle-specific product rituals: level review sessions, difficulty audits, content calendar planning.

2–4+ years as Product Owner / Game Producer / Game Product role in mobile games.

Proven hands-on experience in puzzle games: must have contributed significantly to at least 1 puzzle title that has been scaled (e.g., sustained DAU, top chart performance, or revenue growth). This will be verified through portfolio review.

Hands-on experience writing specs, managing backlogs, and working in agile / iterative environments.

Solid understanding of F2P puzzle game metrics: level pass-rate, move economy, booster conversion, retention curves, and basic cohort/funnel analysis.

Strong collaboration skills; comfortable facilitating discussions across disciplines (Dev, Art, GD, QC).

Able to work in English and Vietnamese.

Experience with LiveOps planning and in-game event execution for puzzle titles.

Familiarity with ad monetization mechanics (rewarded video placement, interstitial pacing) in a puzzle context.

Exposure to level design tools or level generation pipelines.

Experience in other F2P mobile genres (hyper-casual, arcade, music) is a plus.
