## Job description

[https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/1246dead-d30e-4c70-a1d3-ef7e5023d542/d00bba59-caff-4ba5-a50f-6a5663e313e6/gathering.jpeg]

WE ARE LOOKING FOR AN EXPERIENCED PRODUCT LEAD TO OWN TITAN AS A PRODUCT.

TITAN IS SUPERCELL'S PROPRIETARY GAME ENGINE – THE IN-HOUSE TECHNOLOGY THAT POWERS EVERY GAME WE MAKE, REACHING 300 MILLION PLAYERS A MONTH. TITAN IS ALSO THE NAME OF THE ~ 70 PEOPLE ORGANIZATION BEHIND IT: THE TEAMS THAT BUILD THE ENGINE, THE DEVELOPER TOOLING, AND THE LIVEOPS INFRASTRUCTURE THAT EVERY GAME TEAM AT SUPERCELL BUILDS ON.

Here's the story of how Titan came to be https://supercell.com/en/news/game-engine-called-titan/ – most people outside Supercell have never heard of it.

As a Product Lead, you will define the product strategy for the entire Titan product, own the Titan-level roadmap, and ensure we have a deep & continuous understanding of game and partner teams needs. Reporting to the Head of Titan, you'll be part of the Titan leadership team, focused on building the product craft for Titan – largely from scratch, because that function doesn't fully exist yet.

If you love turning complexity into clarity, and want your work to shape the foundation every Supercell game is built on, this is that role.

[https://app.ashbyhq.com/api/images/user-content/1246dead-d30e-4c70-a1d3-ef7e5023d542/7a053edc-bf2e-4db4-85ee-5630e2b5d305/banner_narrow_customs.jpg]

## WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING

- Own Titan as a product: define and drive its vision, strategy, and product management framework, and build that function largely from scratch.
- Translate Supercell's game development ambitions into a coherent, multi-year strategic direction for Titan, and identify where capabilities, scope, or team alignment are missing.
- Productize what Titan already has – packaging, documentation, and adoption paths – so existing capabilities are legible and their value is actually realized.
- Define how Titan measures success (adoption, developer satisfaction, platform health), and use that to sharpen strategy.
- Build and own the single Titan-level roadmap, sparring with teams to challenge assumptions, sharpen priorities, and drive the trade-offs that connect team plans to Titan strategy.
- Be the main point of contact for game and partner teams on overall Titan level needs: build a deep, first-hand understanding of what they actually need – distinguishing that from what they ask for – and turn it into org-wide priorities.
- Partner with team leads on their productization & prioritization and coach teams to think more like product teams, helping each one concretize what it offers.
- Communicate Titan's strategy and roadmap across the organization, and work with the Head of Titan, team leads, and tech owners to turn it into shared priorities and ways of working, while respecting each team's independence over its own staffing, roadmap, and execution.

## WHAT YOU HAVE

- Extensive product management background, with a proven track record of owning product strategy and roadmap for a complex, multi-team product or platform.
- Experience leading product – you've built and shaped a product function, not just contributed to one.
- Passion for getting things done, with a desire to be hands-on
- Deep technical savviness and background from tech: proven track record of making good judgment calls in a deeply technical environment.
- The ability to lead through influence rather than authority – you'll operate as a peer to engineering leads, with no formal reporting line into their teams.
- AI fluency: you understand the current tools and capabilities AI provides, and have a strong point of view on how AI can influence development workflows.
- Comfort with ambiguity – you bring structure, you don't wait for someone to hand it to you.

## WOULD BE NICE IF YOU ALSO HAVE

- Leadership and people management experience – you may grow a product management team over time.
- Background in gaming industry.

## WHAT SUCCESS IN THIS ROLE MEANS

- Titan has a clear, shared product vision that game teams believe in and Titan teams are energized by.
- Titan is productized: the scope is well defined and articulated.
- Titan's roadmap is coherent, well-prioritized, and understood across all teams and stakeholders.
- Game & partner teams feel genuinely heard, and Titan's priorities reflect their most important needs.
- Team leads can focus on leading their teams, with roadmap-level trade-offs made visibly and deliberately at the Titan level rather than absorbed into their day-to-day.
- Titan is seen across Supercell as a product-led organization, not a pure engineering org.

## WHERE YOU'LL BE

The role requires close collaboration with the engine teams and the game teams that use it, so ideally, you’d be based in Helsinki.

## BENEFITS AND COMPENSATION

Luring you in with glitter, glamour, and gems isn't what we're about. We want you to enjoy your time here fully, so we structure our compensation and benefits https://supr.cl/jd-benefits with that in mind. It starts with perceiving you as a human being, not a resource.
