At Scopely, we care deeply about what we do and want to inspire play, every day - whether in our work environments alongside our talented colleagues, or through our deep connections with our communities of players.

What You Will Do

Own product features end-to-end — from early concept through release, live operations, and post-launch optimization. Drive the creation of new multiplayer social and/or solo minigames that expand player engagement and enrich the overall gameplay experience. Translate high-level product and franchise objectives into detailed, player-centric feature designs, ensuring clarity and alignment across teams.

Create and maintain clear, comprehensive game and feature specifications, partnering closely with design to ensure documentation is complete, consistent, and actionable. Collaborate with design and UX, guiding the direction of designs and ensuring they reflect player needs, franchise goals, and business priorities (without directly managing designers day-to-day).

Requirements

Provide ongoing feedback and implementation support, ensuring features progress smoothly through development and match the intended vision. Stay on top of market, genre, and competitive trends to shape an innovative, data-informed roadmap. Demonstrate strong leadership, influencing team direction, driving alignment, and elevating the quality of execution—beyond just generating ideas.
