THE COMPANY

In collaboration with our passionate and driven team, we strive to establish ourselves as a renowned creator of masterpieces in the global gaming market.

THE OPPORTUNITY

KRAFTON's publishing platform connects our games with players around the world — from the moment a player discovers a title, through every session they play, to the long arc of live service. We build the products that make this connection work, helping our globally live‑serviced games run reliably and grow over time. This is a role, created to strengthen product execution across our global publishing platform. We're looking for a PM who can elevate the speed and quality of product decisions, and who can take a product from concept through launch and into live operations with full ownership.

RESPONSIBILITIES

Define the strategy and roadmap for publishing platform products, balancing near‑term execution with the longer‑term direction. Lead products end‑to‑end — from concept to development to launch to live operations — working closely with engineering, design, business, and operations along the way. Partner with global game studios and external partners to ensure our products deliver real value in production environments. Define what success looks like, monitor it with data, and continuously improve both the player experience and how efficiently we operate. Bring a North American perspective into global decisions, so our products serve players across different markets well.

5+ years of product management experience in gaming, IT services, commerce, or marketing platforms A track record of taking at least one product through a full cycle — from concept to launch to live operations Experience leading cross‑functional projects across globally distributed teams Hands‑on use of AI tools as part of your daily work — not occasional experimentation, but tools that have changed how you work and what you deliver Professional working proficiency in both Korean and English (you will be collaborating with our HQ in Korea on a daily basis) Authorization to work in the United States Willingness to travel to Korea when needed
