6d • $217,000 - $303,900

About The Position

Reddit is seeking a Principal/Staff Product Manager to lead the strategy for its Games Ecosystem. This role is crucial in defining how games become an integral part of Reddit's community and creator platform, encompassing both consumer/fandom experiences and developer/creator ecosystem work. The ideal candidate will be adept at navigating diverse areas including consumer product strategy, community dynamics, creator ecosystems, technical platform trade-offs, and ambiguous growth loops. This is a high-impact position for someone who can translate broad opportunities into a focused roadmap, foster alignment across multiple teams, and develop product systems that enhance the usefulness, retentiveness, social integration, and scalability of games on Reddit.

Requirements

• Experience leading ambiguous product strategy in games, communities, creator ecosystems, developer platforms, social products, marketplaces, entertainment, or consumer growth.
• Strong product sense for what makes games and game-adjacent experiences compelling, repeatable, social, and community-native.
• Ability to reason across multiple sides of an ecosystem: players, fans, communities, moderators, creators, developers, partners, and internal teams.
• Comfort with both consumer product questions and technical platform questions, even if your background is deeper in one than the other.
• Experience using qualitative and quantitative evidence to identify opportunities, prioritize investments, and measure whether a product loop is working.
• Strong cross-functional leadership across Product, Engineering, Design, Data, Community, DevRel, Partnerships, Policy, Trust/Safety, and senior leadership.
• Excellent written communication and decision frameworks that help teams align around ambiguous opportunities.
• Curiosity about games, fandoms, creator tools, AI-assisted creation, developer ecosystems, online communities, and the future of participatory entertainment.

Responsibilities

• Define the product strategy for Games Ecosystem, including how games fit into Reddit's communities, creator platform, and long-term growth strategy.
• Identify the highest-leverage opportunities across player experience, community participation, creator/developer enablement, game discovery, retention, and ecosystem quality.
• Build a roadmap that balances consumer-facing experiences, community-native features, creator/developer tools, platform capabilities, and ecosystem programs.
• Help communities become richer destinations for game-related participation, including discussion, identity, events, social play, creator content, and other repeatable engagement loops.
• Improve how high-quality games and game-adjacent experiences are discovered, distributed, and revisited across Reddit.
• Partner with Engineering, Design, Data, ML/ranking, DevRel, Community, Partnerships, Trust/Safety, Policy, and other teams to ship durable ecosystem improvements.
• Work with creators, developers, studios, moderators, and community builders to understand what makes games successful on Reddit and where the platform is creating friction.
• Define the right measurement framework for player value, community value, builder success, experience quality, retention, discovery, and ecosystem health.
• Create clear investment frameworks that help leadership decide when to build natively, support creators/developers, partner externally, improve platform primitives, or stop lower-impact work.
• Lead cross-functional teams through ambiguity and help them move from broad strategy to concrete shipped product.
