- Create high-impact presentations, analysis, and reporting, keeping senior leadership informed about development progress and business performance.
- Lead and support a high-performing product management team, fostering a collaborative and growth-oriented culture across initiatives.
- Partner with functional leaders to share industry insights and best practices when it comes to new game development, business models, live ops, content strategy, innovative features, and launches.
