If you're passionate about tackling difficult problems with direct and thoughtful communication and team first mentality, we may be the right place for you.
About the role
As a Staff Product Manager on our Game Tools team, you’ll own the core game systems that underpin every game at Fortis, spanning player experience as well as the architecture and tooling that supports it. You'll work across player accounts, compliance, social systems, and others, bringing clarity and direction to a wide, complex surface area. You'll partner closely with engineering, game teams, and partner teams to cut through ambiguity, set sharp priorities, and ship the right things.
What you’ll achieve
- Define and own the product strategy for core game systems including player accounts, compliance, social, and other systems.
- Help shape the social layer of our games (e.g. referral systems, chat, guilds) turning our games into places where real communities form.
- Build deep working relationships with leadership across game and partner teams, bridging business goals and technical execution.
- Take on the hardest prioritization calls when the team is being pulled in multiple directions, bringing structure and calm to competing priorities.
- Connect your pod's work to the broader platform strategy and communicate progress clearly to senior stakeholders."
What you’ll need to be successful
- Track record of independently owning complex products end-to-end, with sharp prioritization in fast-moving environments.
- Experience working on consumer-facing services (accounts, identity, or social systems) ideally at scale.
- Enough technical depth to engage credibly with engineers on system design and tradeoffs, without needing to be the expert in the room.
- Strong cross-functional instincts, you build alignment across teams that don't naturally agree and ship reliably at quality.
- Ability to bring clarity to ambiguous situations with competing priorities, knowing which problems to solve first and why.
- Clear, confident communicator with experience presenting to and influencing senior stakeholders.
- Experience in or supporting game development (especially free-to-play mobile or other scaled consumer apps) strongly preferred.
- Hands-on curiosity about AI and agentic workflows. You've experimented with these tools, have a point of view on where they create real value, and can help a team embed them meaningfully.
Why join us
There are many reasons to join us, but here are a few:
- We strongly believe we are changing how games studios operate and at the core of what we do is making great games that create a connected community
-
We're not just about making Games Where You Belong. We're also about building communities where our people belong. That's why Fortis is a thriving environment that celebrates diversity, embraces inclusivity, and fosters growth.

Senior Manager, Game Design - Twilight Towers (Soft Launch)
Who we are
At Fortis Games we aspire to make great games that bring people together while redefining how game companies work. We believe in building a sense of belonging through our games, their communities, and how we operate and treat each other. Through our game communities, we will create powerful connections and lasting memories. We will foster a culture of diversity, equity and belonging where together our diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds impact the games we make.
We are an early but mighty organization with a leadership team of game industry veterans. There are many opportunities for you to have a big impact on the products we'll be making as well as the overall direction of the company. If you're passionate about tackling difficult problems with direct and thoughtful communication and team first mentality, we may be the right place for you.
About the role
Fortis is on a mission to create games where players truly belong — and Twilight Towers is now in soft launch. As Senior Design Manager, you will play a critical role in scaling the game toward global launch by owning live-ops and content systems while multiplying the effectiveness of the design team. This role is intentionally hybrid. You will combine hands-on design ownership with people leadership and production fluency, taking responsibility for key live-game systems (events, content frameworks, progression-facing features) and using that ownership to increase team throughput, quality, and cross-discipline efficiency. Partnering closely with the Game Director and senior leadership, you will turn high-level goals into clear, actionable design plans, manage and develop junior and mid-level designers, and ensure work moves smoothly from concept through implementation and live iteration. Success in this role means taking meaningful ownership off senior leaders’ plates and making the team faster, clearer, and more effective as Twilight Towers scales.
What you’ll achieve
You will partner with the Game Director and cross-disciplinary leads to:
- Own live-ops and content systems for Twilight Towers, including event design, content frameworks, progression-facing features, and related tuning and iteration.
- Lead and manage a sub-team of designers, increasing overall team efficiency and enabling scale by coaching, mentoring, and setting clear expectations.
- Translate high-level product and business goals into clear, implementable design specifications that unblock engineering, art, and production.
- Hold the quality bar for your ownership area by reviewing work, giving concrete feedback, and guiding designers toward stronger solutions.
- Improve cross-discipline execution by proactively coordinating dependencies (e.g., asset needs, scope boundaries, production timing).
- Contribute to live-game decision-making by analyzing player data, KPIs, and feedback, and rapidly iterating on designs in partnership with Product and Analytics.
- Build and share expertise in mobile F2P best practices, live-ops excellence, and the evolving competitive landscape.
What you’ll need to be successful
- Proven experience owning live-ops or content systems in a mobile game-as-a-service environment.
- Define and evolve what “good” looks like, establishing shared principles, techniques, and working norms that raise quality, clarity, and decision-making across the team.
- Strong applied design judgment, with fluency across systems, content, and experiential design, and depth in at least one area.
- Comfort designing from first principles, with a working understanding of player psychology, economies, progression, and retention mechanics.
- Ability to own and deliver scoped areas of the game independently, making decisions without constant oversight.
- Demonstrated people leadership: experience managing, coaching, and developing junior or mid-level designers.
- Production fluency: ability to work cross-functionally and translate design intent into clear, actionable inputs for engineering, art, and production.
- Clear communication and decision-making skills, with the confidence to set direction, prioritize trade-offs, and move work forward.
- Strong understanding of mobile F2P, live-ops cadence, and contemporary market best practices.
- Experience with merge, tower defence, or adjacent genres is a strong plus

As Lead Product Manager, you’ll partner closely with Design, Analytics, and Production to shape the next evolution of the game as it moves toward global release. Sitting at the intersection of product strategy and game design, you’ll drive how Twilight Towers grows: refining its core systems, optimizing live operations, and designing meaningful player experiences that connect fun and performance.

What you’ll bring
- 5 to 7 years of experience in mobile F2P product management, with at least one title managed through soft launch to global release.
- Proven success driving engagement and revenue in top-grossing or fast-scaling live games.
- Expertise in monetization design, economy systems, and live-ops management.
- Strong analytical foundation — fluent in Excel, Looker, or SQL — and a passion for data-driven iteration.
- Systems thinker who understands how game design, economy balance, and player motivation interconnect.
- Collaborative communicator able to influence partners across creative, technical, and business domains.
- A player-centric mindset that values creativity, curiosity, and measurable impact.
