Fortis Games is an early but mighty organization aiming to redefine how game companies work while fostering a culture of belonging. The Principal Product Manager will own the core game systems and collaborate closely with engineering and game teams to ensure clarity and alignment in product strategy.
Responsibilities:
- Define and own the product strategy for core game systems including player accounts, compliance, social, and other systems
- Help shape the social layer of our games (e.g. referral systems, chat, guilds) turning our games into places where real communities form
- Build deep working relationships with leadership across game and partner teams, bridging business goals and technical execution
- Take on the hardest prioritization calls when the team is being pulled in multiple directions, bringing structure and calm to competing priorities
- Connect your pod's work to the broader platform strategy and communicate progress clearly to senior stakeholders
Requirements:
- Track record of independently owning complex products end-to-end, with sharp prioritization in fast-moving environments
- Experience working on consumer-facing services (accounts, identity, or social systems) ideally at scale
- Enough technical depth to engage credibly with engineers on system design and tradeoffs, without needing to be the expert in the room
- Strong cross-functional instincts, you build alignment across teams that don't naturally agree and ship reliably at quality
- Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations with competing priorities, knowing which problems to solve first and why
- Clear, confident communicator with experience presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders
- Experience in or supporting game development (especially free-to-play mobile or other scaled consumer apps) strongly preferred
- Hands-on curiosity about AI and agentic workflows. You've experimented with these tools, have a point of view on where they create real value, and can help a team embed them meaningfully
