Position Overview
At our core, Electronic Arts is a game maker that connects hundreds of millions of players from around the globe to some of the world's greatest games.

  • Collaborate cross-functionally: Drive cross-functional and studio alignment with CRM, Marketing and Game Teams to deliver cohesive event and communication plans tied to key in-game and regional moments.
  • Experiment: Design and execute A/B tests on engagement features, reward structures, and notification strategies to optimize player lifetime value (LTV).

Qualifications
  • Experience: 3-5 years of Product Management experience, ideally within gaming.
  • Domain Expertise: translating user behaviour + desired business results into ideal user experiences/journeys.
  • Analytical Rigor: Metric definitions, analytical tooling and interpretation of complex behavioral data and trends.
  • Communication: Ability to translate complex technical or data insights into actionable strategies for both creative and technical teams.
