At the core of Epic’s success are talented, passionate people. Epic prides itself on creating a collaborative, welcoming, and creative environment. Whether it’s building award-winning games or crafting engine technology that enables others to make visually stunning interactive experiences, we’re always innovating.

PRODUCT MANAGEMENT - FORTNITE CREATOR ECOSYSTEMWhat We Do

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.

What You'll Do

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.

In this role, you will
  • 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 Engineering 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
What we're looking for
  • 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, Engineering, 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
  • Someone who is user-focused, passionate, solutions-focused, and innovative. These traits equal success at Epic and influence everything we do
