We’re looking for an experienced Director of Product to set the vision and lead the teams that are developing innovative, centralized data capabilities for 2K. You’ll direct strategies to streamline how 2K teams collect and leverage data across our studios and publishing teams, and work closely with business and game leadership to attack new opportunities that accelerate 2K’s growth and delight our players!
- Lead the vision and strategy for a world-class data products organization, building the capabilities required to support AAA game dev and publishing. You will direct our 2K data operations, infrastructure, and products toward opportunities that advance the business of 2K, creating impact by championing the needs of the customer and those of your teams.
- Develop strong, positive relationships with the business units and studios of 2K. You will align with customers, stakeholders, and partners to understand their nuanced needs and deliver a strategy that maximizes the value your teams unlock.
- Inspire trust and confidence in your teams’ ability to deliver through clear and proactive communication, customer empathy, and reliable execution.
- Work closely with peers in engineering and program management to plan effectively, validate product and technical assumptions, and iteratively deliver value that moves the needle for 2K teams and our players. You will contribute to our shared understanding of what good looks like across multiple dimensions of quality. You will advocate among your peers on behalf of the product, the customer, and the player.

You are equally deft at communicating with both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Enthusiastic about building organizations and culture.
