About this role

Leading product strategy for Epic's Discovery system means owning how players find the right games and content across the platform. As Director of Product Management, you'd translate high-level growth goals into concrete roadmaps and ship features that connect players with content at scale. The role requires close partnership with Development, Design, and Data Science teams to build and optimize discovery surfaces, while also working across marketing, content strategy, and creator initiatives to ensure the product serves multiple stakeholder needs.

This is a hands-on leadership position that balances strategic thinking with execution. You'll write detailed product requirements, develop operational playbooks, present concepts to senior leadership, and drive live operations using data to measure and iterate. The work sits at the intersection of consumer product growth, gaming mechanics, and platform strategy—requiring both analytical rigor and a genuine understanding of how players discover games and how creators build on platforms.

You'll need at least five years of product management experience with demonstrated work on discovery systems, recommendation engines, or large-scale consumer products. Strong data skills, a track record of shipping in collaborative environments, and the ability to communicate clearly with both technical and executive audiences are essential. Experience managing other PMs is valued but not required. The role is based in Vancouver and requires in-office work.
