## Description

### 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
