Senior Product Manager / Director Of Product Management

About StorycraftStorycraft is an AI-powered, mobile-first social sandbox where players don't just play stories—they build them. Think Minecraft meets The Sims meets Wattpad : a new genre of creative, social storytelling where AI helps players bring their imagination to life.
Backed by top-tier investors who have invested in Open AI, Unity, Supercell and others, we're building a platform that reimagines storytelling as play—combining intuitive creation tools, emotionally expressive characters, and collaborative world-building.
The RoleWe're hiring a
senior product leader

engagement, retention, virality,
and
revenue .
You've already made meaningful contributions to
top-grossing mobile free-to-play games, especially in
simulation, life sim, strategy, or crafting
genres. You're fluent in F2P systems and deeply player‑centric. Most importantly, you're ready to build something original, hands‑on, and from the ground up.

buildable systems, features, and delightful UX
Own core gameplay systems:
crafting, progression, economy, social features, monetization
Define clear specs, player flows, and wireframes to drive alignment and execution
Collaborate closely with engineering and design to build and iterate fast
Use
qualitative research
(player interviews, segmentation, player journeys) to guide priorities and optimize impact
Apply
quantitative rigor : define KPIs, track player behavior, design A/B tests, and use insights to inform iteration and improve player and business outcomes
Focus on delivering features that players love—and that move business metrics

What It Means to Build at StorycraftThis isn't just a job—it's a rare opportunity to
co‑create a new category
of game at the intersection of storytelling, AI, and player expression. We're a lean, high‑trust team building fast, learning constantly, and thinking long‑term. That means:
You'll wear multiple hats.
We solve problems, not just build features. You'll shape systems, tools, and how we work.
You'll lead through doing.
Strategy is important—but execution is where the magic happens.
You'll be scrappy and smart.
We use AI, feedback loops, and focused iteration to do more with less.
You'll have real ownership.
You won't be "supporting" the product—you'll be
shaping
it every day.
You'll grow faster than anywhere else.
This is a career‑defining opportunity to learn, stretch, and contribute at a level few companies allow.
You'll have equity with real upside.
We're building something ambitious. If we win, you win.
You'll make an impact that matters.
Players already say Storycraft "feels like magic." You'll help scale that magic into something unforgettable.
We're not looking for passengers—we're looking for
builders ,
owners, and
creative leaders
who want to leave their mark.
