Product Manager - Gaming Communities
Change the way gaming communities connect, organize themselves, and grow together.

About Challengermode
Challengermode was founded in 2014 with the mission to make esports truly accessible. Today, we're running a platform that provides the fundamental online esports infrastructure to all the key stakeholders in the industry including players, organizers, and game developers. It's becoming the place for regular gamers to congregate, practice, or compete in esports. Our best-in-class tech automates complex competition infrastructure through game integrations and allows gamers to easily play in competitions on any device or console while enabling community building and monetization at scale for organizers of all kinds.
About the team
The gaming communities team is on a mission to make Challengermode the perfect addition to a gamer's toolbox. Gaming communities have formed left, right, and center on various social media and communication platforms out there. Organizing game times, keeping track of progress, comparing yourself to your fellow gamers, and directly competing with or against them was a difficult, scattered, and improvised endeavor - until now. The gaming communities team is rethinking Challengermode and its Spaces to support forming new communities and seamlessly integrating with existing ones by providing all the tools for everything game-related in one place.
As a part of this team, you will be diving deep into the motivations, goals, and pains of gaming communities. You will have continuous conversations with communities to gain and maintain a thorough understanding of the users' and organizers' needs and perspectives to build and iterate on a product that helps them fulfill their mission.
