As a Product Manager at Zynga, you are helping to build "play" as a vital part of the largest social gaming network on the planet. Our games span multiple platforms, diverse genres, and a global audience on both mobile and the web. It's your job to get players in the door, rigorously analyze their behavior, drive their engagement, and innovate and design new products and features.
Zynga Product Managers are highly passionate about games and user experience. We work from facts rather than hunches; however, the success of our products depends not only on analytics but also on the creative quality of the fiction, mechanics, art and ultimately on whether or not playing is fun.
Product Managers at Zynga make real products and have powerful data tools at their disposal. The culture is very entrepreneurial; you build, create, analyze, and build again all within very short spans of time.
Zynga pioneered the social gaming industry by bringing free, social, and accessible games to people around the world. But life at Zynga is about more than making games – it’s about positively impacting people’s lives by creating innovative, next-generation entertainment experiences. Come join us in shaping the future of play.
