About The Position

The Product Manager for the LiveOps Track owns the commercial heartbeat, monetization velocity, and event innovation for Sunshine Island, a flagship casual farming title. The product team operates in two execution tracks: Strategic Roadmap, focused on deep features and long-term systems, and LiveOps, focused on recurring events, monetization, and direct-to-consumer (D2C) growth. The Product Manager leads the LiveOps Track in partnership with a dedicated Project Manager (PJM), who handles day-to-day agile mechanics and operational scheduling, allowing the Product Manager to focus on commercial strategy, campaign design, and revenue optimization. The role works with a dedicated team of LiveOps engineers, data analysts, and economy designers to build new mechanics as well as events.

Responsibilities include owning the LiveOps calendar, designing events and monetization mechanics, growing webshop revenue, configuring targeted campaigns, monitoring commercial KPIs, and testing offers and pricing. The role is remote-first and requires the candidate to be located within three hours of CEST for real-time collaboration.
