Role
Who you are
- 10+ years of Product Management experience across live operations, virtual economy management, and feature/system design
- A passion for games and a deep understanding of growth, retention, and monetization principles and mechanics that create value for players
- Proven ability to design, launch, and operate monetization products in environments involving policy, fraud, and economic tradeoffs
- Exceptional cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly with Policy, Legal, Programming, and Analytics
- Strong analytical background — experience working closely with data, analytics, or data science, and using metrics to drive decisions
- Outstanding written and oral communication skills, including experience writing concept pitches and product requirement documents

What the job involves
- As part of the Fortnite Creator Ecosystem team, Product Management collaborates with development, publishing, marketing, and platform teams to define product strategy informed by data and market insights
- The team aims to empower creators to operate as game publishers, with the tools, insights, and support needed to build, launch, grow, and monetize successful games
- This work centers on two core areas: enabling a robust creator publishing ecosystem and supporting sustainable creator monetization
- As a Product Management Director, you’ll be the owner of a critical part of the Fortnite developer economy. You will define strategy, guide execution, and ensure that monetization systems are balanced, scalable, policy-aligned, and empowering for creators
- Own the strategy and roadmap for a portion of Fortnite’s developer economy, with a focus on direct monetization products that balance creator value, player trust, and platform sustainability
- Lead cross-functional development of monetization systems, working closely with Programming and Design to translate strategy into scalable, reliable products
- Partner deeply with Policy, Legal, and Trust & Safety teams to ensure monetization products are compliant, transparent, and aligned with Epic’s principles and ecosystem governance
- Define and track key success metrics and economic health indicators, and utilize data, experimentation, and qualitative insights to inform prioritization and iteration
- Guide go-to-market and change management for monetization capabilities, including internal enablement and external creator communication
- Collaborate with Analytics and Insights to evaluate ecosystem performance, test hypotheses, and identify opportunities to improve creator outcomes and platform efficiency
Our take
Epic Games is the creator of Fortnite, Unreal, Gears of War, Shadow Complex, and the Infinity Blade series of games. Epic's Unreal Engine technology brings high-fidelity, interactive experiences to PC, console, mobile, AR, VR and the Web. And its recent announcement - Unreal Engine 5.7 - is set to lay the technical foundations for countless future releases.
Epic Games' model focuses on two key areas: creating games and offering its game engine technology to other developers. Doing this means that Epic's brand stretches beyond their own direct creations. The company has been able to put its name to some of the most iconic games of the last 20 years. Its most recent success is undoubtedly the creation of Fortnite, which has gained hundreds of millions of users since its launch in 2017.
Long-established as one of the leaders in its field, these are undoubtedly exciting times for Epic Games. The release of next-generation consoles like the PS5 has enabled the company to push the limits of its software, meaning it'll lead the charge in the creation of next-gen games. 2024 also saw an unprecedented investment in Epic Games by Disney, amounting to $1.5B. This will enable Disney to promote iconic characters through the Fortnite game. With the number of people enjoying video games continuing to grow, there is no sign of Epic Games slowing down any time soon.
