About this role
About Us Chess.com is one of the largest gaming sites in the world and the #1 platform for playing, learning, and enjoying chess. We are a team of 600+ fully remote people in 60+ countries working hard to serve the global chess community. We are here to support 250M+ chess players worldwide with the best possible product, content, and tools to serve the community! We are a tech company. A gaming company. A content company.
And we do it all with passion and commitment to the game. Above all we prize our mission-driven, flat, life-celebrating, no-corporate culture, and we look forward to meeting you and learning more about what you can bring to the team. About You You love to play chess and want to help others discover that same passion. You understand the full user journey of being a chess player, and different types of players need to experience to find joy in the game.
You are intimately familiar with the Chess.com experience and want to help further build out the Gameplay ecosystem. You have extensive experience as a product manager shipping delightful consumer-facing products. You have worked deeply with design and engineering teams to define what great looks like and you communicate regularly and successfully to executive stakeholders. What you'll do Shape the Gameplay roadmap and vision.
In close partnership with leadership, shape both the near-term roadmap and the long-term vision for Gameplay at Chess.com . From live games, to daily, to bot play, you will own the gameplay experience. Bring ideas and sharpen them with the team. Come with your own point of view on what's worth building and why. You don't wait to be told. At the same time, engage seriously with feedback from leadership and peers: internalize it, push back where you disagree, and use it to make the work better.
The vision is built together; you're a strong, informed voice in it. Operate in public. As a globally remote company spanning many time zones, async slack communication is how decisions get made. Work out loud in channels: brainstorm openly, pose sharp questions, make decisive small calls with reasoning attached, and be explicit on what's urgent vs. not. Engage with depth and without ego, pull the right people in by name to build alignment.
