What We Need
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.

Integrate analytics into product thinking
Partner with the Director of Analytics and Studio to define instrumentation strategy aligned to product hypotheses and decision needs
Establish measurement frameworks that connect player behavior to strategic questions across engagement, retention, and monetization
Ensure readouts consistently drive alignment on what we learned, what it means, and what changes as a result.
Strengthen cross-functional integration:
Work closely with Marketing on positioning, player targeting, and persona alignment to ensure product and go-to-market thinking remain connected
Collaborate with Commercial and other Publishing leaders to align product systems with long-term franchise and revenue strategy
Support teams in arriving at integrated decisions that reflect both player experience and business objectives
Lead and develop the team:
Lead and mentor Product Managers and Director of Analytics
