About Big Viking Games

Big Viking Games is a Canadian gaming company focused on building, operating, and growing long-standing online game communities. Our games have entertained players for years, supported by loyal audiences, live operations, evolving content systems, product innovation, and a deep understanding of player behavior.

Our live-service games have served millions of players over their lifetime. These are enduring social game experiences with loyal communities, meaningful live revenue, rich in-game economies, virtual goods, player-to-player interaction, and long-term engagement at their core.

We are entering a new phase of modernization and growth, with a focus on stronger product discipline, better data visibility, smarter live operations, practical AI adoption, and scalable systems that help our games and teams perform at a higher level.

About the Role

Big Viking Games is hiring a Lead Product Manager, Live Games to help shape the next stage of growth for one of our long-running social games.

This is a high-impact product leadership role for someone who understands live games, player behavior, monetization, experimentation, content performance, game economies, and durable product systems.

You will work closely with leadership, design, engineering, data, art, production, and live operations to improve the current player experience while helping define the game’s future across platforms.

The right person brings strong product judgment, hands-on execution, commercial thinking, and the ability to turn ambiguity into clear priorities, measurable outcomes, and shipped improvements.

This is not a maintenance role. It is a role for someone who wants ownership of a live product with real players, real revenue, and real opportunity.

The Opportunity

This game has a strong legacy, an active audience, and significant room for growth.

We are looking for a product leader who can identify the biggest opportunities, make clear tradeoffs, and turn product strategy into measurable results.

You will help modernize how the game operates, improve the player experience, strengthen monetization systems, and guide the roadmap for both the current live game and future expansion opportunities.

The challenge is to build a smarter, more data-informed, more scalable version of the game while respecting the community and product foundations that already exist.

What You’ll Do

• Own the product strategy and roadmap, with a focus on growth, retention, monetization, player satisfaction, and long-term product health.
• Partner with leadership to define clear goals, priorities, success metrics, and product tradeoffs.
• Analyze player behavior, economy health, feature performance, content performance, live operations, and business trends to identify high-impact opportunities.
• Lead experimentation across offers, events, live operations, onboarding, engagement loops, pricing, bundles, and monetization systems.
• Work closely with design, engineering, art, live operations, production, and data to ship improvements quickly, measure performance, and learn from results.
• Help evolve the game into a stronger multi-platform product while preserving what existing players value most.
• Use AI and automation thoughtfully to improve workflows, accelerate analysis, reduce manual effort, and help the team move faster.
• Translate player feedback, community signals, market awareness, and data into practical product decisions.
• Build repeatable product processes that improve planning, prioritization, execution, measurement, and post-launch learning.
• Bring structure,…
