About The Position

Fanatics TCG is building the next generation of trading card games and collectible experiences. We sit at the intersection of game design, worldbuilding, and fandom—creating original IP and reimagining what cards can be in a modern, connected ecosystem. Our ambition is long-term: to build enduring franchises that live across tabletop, digital, community, and culture. Cards are our foundation—but they are also game pieces, works of art, objects of identity, and engines of connection. This is a high-impact, high-ownership role at the center of the studio. You will work across design, product, commercial, and leadership to define what we build, why we build it, and how it succeeds in the market. You will operate across both strategy and execution —helping define our product roadmap while also driving initiatives from concept through launch and beyond.
