[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @Appodeal

Role Description

We are looking for a Senior Product Manager in Gaming. This is a senior IC role that owns app P&L thinking, ships features weekly, and decides what to build next based on data — not on a 2-year roadmap. We are a lean startup operation: small team, growing portfolio, no room for ramp-up. Speed of decision-making is our competitive advantage.

What you'll own:

• Full ownership of 2+ casual games (ad-monetized, evergreen).
• Define and evolve the feature roadmap for each title — focused on what moves LTV, retention, and ad revenue this week, not next year.
• Own revenue projections and the full app P&L thinking (UA economics, IPM, retention curves, ad ARPDAU).
• Approve creatives, validate hypotheses, and challenge data when it doesn't add up.
• Decide when a game has real impact opportunities left vs. when it should move to maintenance.
• Weekly release cadence — ship, measure, learn.
• Run a prioritized backlog, not a long-form roadmap.
• Every week, answer one question: "What's the #1 thing we can ship to increase LTV?" Then ship it.
• Design, spec, and validate experiments yourself — write the PRD, pull the data, review the numbers.
• Pick up winners from R&D department and scale them.
• Once a VG title shows traction, you take it over: SDK integration, LiveOps, feature releases, monetization tuning.
• Stay close to UA, creative, and monetization teams — even though you don't manage them.
• AI-native, hands-on execution.
• Use AI tools daily across your workflow: PRDs, data analysis, competitive teardowns, user-feedback synthesis, creative briefs, LiveOps content.
• Automate repetitive product work — reports, dashboards, alerts, content generation — instead of asking someone else to do it manually.
• Build internal AI-powered tools and automations that make you (and the team) faster.

Qualifications

• 3+ years as a Product Manager on casual, ad-monetized, evergreen mobile games (cards, words, puzzles, or similar).
• Track record of improving retention, engagement, and ad monetization (ARPDAU, IPM, ad LTV, day-7/30 retention).
• You can code at a working level.
• AI-fluent — actively use AI tools in your daily workflow.
• Lean startup mentality — comfortable owning multiple projects in parallel.
• Senior-level autonomy — opinionated, ship without hand-holding.
• Hungry, engaged, flexible — treat product as a craft.

Requirements

• Must have shipped real features on real titles and moved real metrics.
• Can talk specifics about what you shipped and what it did to the numbers.
• Pull your own data from BI, write scripts to automate routine tasks, and prototype without blocking on engineering.

Benefits

• Work on products with real scale and impact in the mobile gaming space.
• Join a fast-moving, high-ownership team focused on results.
• Build and experiment in a data-driven, product-first environment.
• Leverage modern tools, including AI, to move faster and smarter.
• Competitive compensation, performance bonuses, and growth opportunities.
