Product Manager - Paper.io 2

This Product Manager role focuses on live operations for a high-traffic mobile game. You will manage monetization and engagement systems for an established title with a massive global player base.

What you’d own

F2P systems including progression, monetization, and in-game economies
Live events and retention-focused feature optimization
Full ownership of specifications, timelines, and delivery outcomes
Competitive systems like leagues, seasons, and battle passes

Who it’s for

A fit if you…

✓You have experience on a successful live game with high-volume metrics
✓You understand F2P mechanics, specifically IAP monetization beyond just ads
✓You can write clear specs and challenge weak product ideas
✓You have experience in casual or hybrid-casual mobile gaming

Not for you if…

✗You prefer a slow pace; you must prioritize development under tight deadlines
✗You want to build from scratch; this is a live ops role for an existing game
✗You prefer ambiguity over clear ownership of specifications and outcomes

Reading between the lines

The emphasis on 'pushing the product forward' and 'challenging weak ideas' suggests a high-autonomy environment where you are expected to be a proactive driver, not just a ticket-taker.
The requirement to 'resolve technical challenges' and 'prioritize under tight deadlines' implies a heavy focus on execution and firefighting rather than purely long-term strategy.
