The Company
Outright Games is a leading publisher of licensed children's games. We work with global family favourite franchises to bring their stories and characters to life, across titles including Paw Patrol, Jumanji, Transformers and How to Train your Dragon.
Having focused primarily on console releases, we are now working with our market-leading brand partners to expand into the mobile games market. Following the successful launch of our first mobile game, L.O.L. Surprise! Movie Maker for iOS and Android, in September 2020, we are building our in-house mobile game publishing team.
This is an exciting time to join Outright Games Mobile. As one of the early team members you will have an important role to play in shaping the direction, culture and success of our newest department. With an ever-growing runway of titles ready to head into production, anyone who joins the company will get to hit the ground running in our "best of both" environment - a start-up division within a larger established business.
The Role
Outright Games Mobile is looking to hire an experienced Product Manager, who will report directly to the Head of Mobile Games. This is one the first key hires for the new mobile division.
Our office is based in central Bristol, but we will accept remote applications from UK-based candidates as well. Occasional attendance at the Bristol office is likely to be required of a remote employee once permissible and appropriate.
We are searching for a Product Manager who is passionate about mobile games and ready to play a central role in driving our success in the sector. Our ideal candidate will be able to manage a game through it's entire life cycle, from the initial game conception and pitch, through to the post-launch optimization of all key areas of the game. With a deep understanding of LiveOps, F2P design, gameplay and monetization models, you will lead the charge to ensure we create world class children's games that excel across all key metrics. These will include user ratings, growth, retention and revenue. As a leader, team player and highly organised self-starter, you will be comfortable with and skilled at agile management of various titles at various stages across multiple internal and external teams, and stakeholders.
