Product Manager

R&D - Toronto, Ontario (Hybrid)

What we’re doing

We’re building the AI-powered coaching platform that transforms how gamers learn, compete, and win. Backed by a16z and $12M in funding, we’re live in 5 titles with 100K+ users, expanding rapidly into new games, hardware partnerships, and SDK integrations.

You’ll Thrive Here If…

• You’re energized by ambiguity and move fast to bring clarity where others stall.
• You get a rush from finding the simple, elegant solution to a messy, complex problem.
• You think like a GM//always asking how a product choice impacts revenue, growth, and user success.
• You’re creative at problem solving — able to structure messy problems, build frameworks, and beat ambiguity with clear, actionable paths forward.

Some things you’ll do

• User discovery & insights
• Embed yourself into gamer communities (Reddit, Discord, conferences) to surface real user needs and trends.
• Talk to users, run surveys, and synthesize feedback into actionable insights.
• Translate customer problems & business goals into clear, prioritized product requirements.
• Analyze product usage patterns (SQL, Mixpanel) and connect insights directly to business outcomes.

• Data-driven decision-making
• Define success metrics, own dashboards/funnels/experiment readouts, and deliver decision-ready insights.
• Size and scope opportunities using product data, market sizing, and an 80/20 lens to de-risk decisions quickly.
• Identify opportunities to double down, design/run experiments (A/B tests, pilots), and present clear recommendations.

• Product strategy & execution support
• Surface & scope opportunities — investigate market pain points, partner with leadership on shaping strategy, then translate direction into scopes, specs, and cross-team execution.
• Write scopes/specs, manage JIRA, and keep initiatives moving smoothly across Design/Eng/Marketing
• Support launch plans, onboarding flows, rollout processes, and usage monitoring.
• Connect product metrics to conversion, activation, retention, and revenue

Skills You’ll Bring

• Product & business foundation
• 2+ years of PM experience at a product-driven tech company, owning meaningful product surface area (B2C a plus)
• 1+ years experience in a fast-paced, analytical role (e.g., chief of staff, bizops, VC/PE, banking, consulting, or growth-focused roles at a high-growth tech company)

• Analytical & strategic
• Strong ability to structure ambiguous problems, form hypotheses, design/interpret experiments, and make data-driven decisions
• GM-like mindset with awareness of how product connects to revenue, growth models, pricing, and go-to-market

• Execution & product sense
• Nice to have - Shipped AI-powered products or features (LLMs, recommendation engines, intelligent automation)
• Ability to deconstruct visions into clear, actionable roadmaps that align with company objectives

• Mindset & communication
• Ownership-first, bias-to-action, thrives in early-stage/high-urgency environments
• Deep user empathy, first-principles thinker, obsessed with simple, elegant solutions
• Excellent communicator who can turn chaos into clarity and align stakeholders

You WILL NOT enjoy this role if

• You need a rigid playbook or lots of hand-holding — this is a fast-moving startup with shifting priorities.
• You avoid digging into data or SQL, being data informed is core to this role.
• You prefer long research cycles over shipping quickly and iterating.
• You’re uncomfortable making decisions with incomplete information.
• You aren’t naturally hyper-organized you’ll be expected to keep metrics, JIRA, specs, and experiments tidy and up-to-date so the team can move fast.
• You don’t play video games
