Our studios are responsible for developing 2K’s portfolio of world-class games across multiple platforms. Include Visual Concepts, Firaxis, Hangar 13, CatDaddy, Cloud Chamber, and HB Studios. Our portfolio of titles is expanding due to our global strategic plan, building, and acquiring exciting studios whose content continues to inspire all of us! 2K publishes titles in today’s most popular gaming genres, including sports, shooters, action, role-playing, strategy, casual, and family entertainment. Our team of engineers, marketers, artists, writers, data scientists, producers, problem solvers, and doers, are the professional publishing stewards of our growing library of critically acclaimed franchises such as NBA 2K, BioShock, Borderlands, Mafia, Sid Meier’s Civilization, Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands, WWE 2K, and XCOM. At 2K, we pride ourselves on creating an inclusive work environment, which means encouraging our teams to Come as You Are and do your best work! We are dedicated to diversity and inclusion and want our community of candidates to reflect this commitment. We encourage all qualified applicants to explore our global positions. 2K is headquartered in Novato, California and is a wholly owned label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO). We are hiring a Sr. Director of Product & Analytics to help shape and steward the product direction for a new IP franchise at 2K. This role plays a central part in sharpening our understanding of the target player, strengthening our value proposition, and ensuring our product strategy reflects real player and market signal. This leader will bring together product management and analytics into a cohesive way of working. That includes shaping product strategy, defining how we measure success, guiding prioritization, informing engagement and monetization approaches, and ensuring our roadmap is grounded in evidence and aligned with broader franchise objectives. Success in this role requires integrated thinking, influence, and alignment. You will partner closely with Studio leadership in Design, Creative, Engineering, and Production, as well as Publishing teams in Research & Insights, Commercial, Marketing, and Operations. The expectation is to deliver a cohesive product perspective that connects player experience, market positioning, and business outcomes. Through clear reasoning, structured tradeoffs, and evidence-based recommendations, you will help build shared understanding and make the right path forward clear. Product and Analytics are intentionally combined in this phase. You will lead Product Management and a Director of Analytics, embedding insight generation directly into product planning and decision-making. You will also help establish the foundations and operating model that allow Analytics to evolve into a standalone growth function as the franchise matures.

Requirements

Strong product judgment in ambiguous, early-stage environments. You can frame the right questions, identify the critical variables, and help teams focus on what matters most
Experience shaping F2P and/or live-service products, including engagement systems, progression, economies, and lifecycle strategy. You understand how player value and commercial durability reinforce each other

Clear, structured communicator who can distill complexity into aligned recommendations for cross-functional leaders and executives
