Who we are
At Fortis Games we aspire to make great games that bring people together while redefining how game companies work. We believe in building a sense of belonging through our games, their communities, and how we operate and treat each other. Through our game communities, we will create powerful connections and lasting memories. We will foster a culture of diversity, equity and belonging where together our diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds impact the games we make.
We are an early but mighty organization with a leadership team of game industry veterans. There are many opportunities for you to have a big impact on the products we'll be making as well as the overall direction of the company. If you're passionate about tackling difficult problems with direct and thoughtful communication and team first mentality, we may be the right place for you.
In this integral role as a Senior Product Manager, you will help guide a new free-to-play mobile game from late development through global live operations. Working at the intersection of product strategy, game design, analytics, and LiveOps, you will play a key role in shaping gameplay systems, in-game economy, monetization, and live features.
This role requires a balance of strategic product thinking and hands-on execution, with a strong emphasis on experimentation, player experience, and data-driven iteration. You will collaborate closely with design, analytics, and production to ensure the game launches successfully and continues to evolve as a live service.
What you’ll achieve- Support the game during testing and early live phases, with an initial focus on gameplay quality and early retention.
- Drive monetization testing as the game expands into additional geographies, including Tier 1 markets.
- Own and evolve LiveOps strategy post-launch, reacting to live results and optimizing performance in real time.
- Partner with design to shape and refine the in-game economy, including progression systems, gacha, rewards, and daily engagement loops.
- Ensure economic systems are balanced, scalable, and aligned with long-term player value.
- Translate player behavior and qualitative feedback into quantitative models and tuning decisions.
- Define hypotheses and design A/B tests across gameplay features, monetization, and LiveOps initiatives.
- Work closely with analytics to interpret test results and player data, turning insights into clear product actions.
- Use data visualization and analysis tools to monitor performance and guide prioritization.
- Apply player-centric and design-thinking approaches to new features, events, and optimizations.
- Anticipate the downstream impact of design and product decisions on player behavior, economy, and revenue.
- Set clear priorities to maximize retention, engagement, and LTV.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with design, analytics, production, and leadership to drive aligned decision-making.
- Clearly communicate product intent, results, and next steps to stakeholders.
- Live Ops Experience: Experience managing events and economies in mid-core titles (ideally Collection RPGs/4X) with a focus on moving specific KPIs
- Design Partnership: Ability to collaborate with game designers to translate vision into functional product requirements and success criteria before development begins
- Data-to-Action: Hands-on proficiency in data analysis to independently identify user behaviour patterns and turn them into validated game improvements. (SQL and Python experience are a plus, but not essential)
- Impact-Driven Prioritisation: Experience navigating and prioritising a backlog and making hard decisions on what will move the needle most.
- Team communication & leadership: Effective communicator who can work across disciplines and adapt messaging to different parts of the team and central stakeholders.
