Lead Product Manager - Games
About The Position
Big Viking Games is a Canadian gaming company focused on building, operating, and growing long-standing online game communities. Our games have entertained players for years, supported by loyal audiences, live operations, content, product innovation, and a deep understanding of player behavior. We are entering a new phase of modernization and growth, with a focus on stronger product discipline, better data visibility, smarter live operations, practical AI adoption, and scalable systems that help our games and teams perform at a higher level. Big Viking Games is looking for a Lead Product Manager to help shape the next stage of growth for FishWorld, one of our long-running social games with a loyal player community and meaningful live revenue. This is a high-impact role for someone who loves live games, player behavior, monetization, experimentation, and building durable product systems. You will work closely with leadership, design, engineering, data, art, and live operations to improve the existing FishWorld experience while helping define its future across platforms. The right person will bring strong product judgment, hands-on execution, commercial thinking, and the ability to turn ambiguity into clear priorities and measurable outcomes. This is a hybrid role with three (3) days in office. FishWorld has a strong legacy, an active audience, and significant room for growth. We are looking for a product leader who can identify the biggest opportunities, make clear tradeoffs, and turn product strategy into measurable results. You will help modernize how the game operates, improve the player experience, strengthen monetization systems, and guide the roadmap for both the current live game and future expansion opportunities. This is not a maintenance role. This is a chance to help build a smarter, more data-informed, more scalable version of FishWorld while respecting the community and product foundations that already exist.
