Product Manager - R&D
This role is a part of the R&D team at Avalanche Studios Group. This department has a singular focus: finding the next big thing! We do this by building prototypes and quickly testing them with real players.
As a Product Manager in the R&D team at Avalanche Studios Group, your role is to lead and evolve the Playtesting Program that allows us to quickly test early game prototypes with external players. This role is key to our efforts of testing game ideas with real players often and early. You will focus on scaling the program to the next level, ensuring we can validate concepts effectively very early in development.
The position:
As the Product Manager, you will take holistic ownership of the Playtesting Program. Your primary focus will be to define and execute the program's overall strategy and expansion. This includes cultivating a thriving ecosystem of playtesters and ensuring robust testing capabilities. The goal is to assess product-market fit and inform decisions about a prototype's future development. Furthermore, you will actively build out our internal capabilities for evaluating and testing ideas sourced from external partners.
You will report to the Product Director, R&D. This on-site role is based in our Stockholm office, with the opportunity to work up to two days a week from home.
