About the role

We’re looking for a forward-thinking Director of Product (AI) to lead the discovery, evaluation, and adoption of Artificial Intelligence technologies that transform how we build and operate our games. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role focused on leveraging AI to accelerate development, increase efficiency across our studios and publishing teams, and unlock new creative capabilities.

What you’ll achieve

• Drive AI Strategy & Vision Define and evolve our company-wide approach to AI, aligning opportunities with business priorities across game development, liveops, ad creative, and publishing.
• Discover & Evaluate AI Solutions Lead hands-on exploration and rigorous evaluation of third-party AI tools, ML models and platforms, as well as contribute as a hands-on product manager working with our in-house AI R&D team to build Fortis-built AI solutions. 
• Lead Cross-Functional Pilots Run structured pilot programs with partner teams to validate real-world impact of AI tools — balancing technical feasibility, creative quality, and workflow integration.
• Define Product Requirements Translate studio and team needs into clear product requirements for internal tools or integrations that embed AI into workflows in meaningful, usable ways.
• Measure Impact Define and track success metrics that demonstrate the business value of AI adoption — such as time saved, quality improved, or speed of iteration increased. Build Partnerships Collaborate with engineering, UX, data science, game teams, and external vendors to evaluate build vs. buy tradeoffs and ensure smooth deployment.
• Act as AI Thought Leader Stay ahead of the rapidly evolving AI landscape and educate internal teams on emerging trends, capabilities, and risks.

What you’ll need to be successful

• 7+ years of product management experience in games, creative tools, or productivity platforms.
• Demonstrated experience building and scaling AI-powered products in real-world production environments.
• Deep understanding of AI technologies relevant to game development, including generative AI (text, image, animation), procedural content generation, and machine learning pipelines.
• Strategic thinker with strong product instincts, skilled at shaping product vision, prioritizing complex roadmaps, and driving measurable impact
• Passionate about enabling creative and technical teams to work faster and more efficiently.
• Excellent communicator with experience leading in cross-functional, fast-paced environments. 
• Familiarity with mobile game development workflows strongly preferred.
• Technical fluency in generative AI, NLP, or ML a plus.
