This is not a job. It's a stake.


What You Put In Is What You Get Out

This isn’t a traditional C-suite gig—it’s a true equity stake in building Anime Universe’s product future. You’ll trade salary for meaningful ownership today, with token-based rewards pending approvals, and cash compensation kicking in as we hit revenue milestones. We require a 20 hrs/week minimum commitment to move quickly, think boldly, and lead by example.


Role Overview

As our Chief Product Officer, you’ll define and drive the end-to-end product vision across all three Anime Universe cores—Digital Studios, Infinite Play Studios, and Labs. You’ll own the strategic roadmap, champion user and market insights, and ensure execution excellence from ideation through global launch.


What You’ll Own

Unified Product Vision: Craft our multi-year product strategy, aligning content production, game engine innovation (DMEXR/X-Core), and AI-powered experiences under one cohesive roadmap.
Executive Leadership: Build, mentor, and scale a world-class product leadership team—VPs of Studio Products, Engine Products, and Labs Products.
Customer & Market Intelligence: Embed continuous research loops—player interviews, community analytics, competitive deep dives—to inform every major investment.
Cross-Core Collaboration: Partner with R&D (Synergy AI), Engineering (SynergyOS), Finance, Marketing, and Legal to accelerate end-to-end delivery and mitigate risk.
Metrics & Accountability: Define OKRs, KPIs, and dashboards for product health—DAU/MAU, retention, engagement, revenue per user—and drive data-informed decision cycles.
Go-to-Market Excellence: Oversee global launches—coordinate positioning, enablement, support, and growth marketing—to ensure maximum impact.


What We’re Looking For

Visionary Strategist: 12+ years in product leadership at high-growth tech or entertainment companies, with proven P&L ownership.
Player-Obsessed: Deep empathy for gamers and content consumers—expert at translating feedback into breakthrough features.
Technical Fluency: Comfortable debating architecture trade-offs across AI, blockchain, and real-time systems; can partner closely with technical leads.
Operational Rigor: Track record scaling product orgs; strong in agile at scale, Lean principles, and building “fail-fast, learn-fast” cultures.
Data & Storytelling: Mastery of analytics, A/B testing, and narrative—adept at presenting complex insights to execs, boards, and investors.
Collaboration & Influence: Exceptional communicator and negotiator; thrives in distributed, asynchronous teams across diverse time zones.
Equity-First Mindset: Entrepreneurial, resourceful, and energized by ambiguity—you invent frameworks, you don’t follow them.


Required Qualifications

Bachelor’s or Master’s in Business, Engineering, or related field (or equivalent experience)
12+ years driving product strategy and execution, with at least 5 years at VP/Head of Product or above
Demonstrated success launching products with 1M+ users or $10M+ in ARR
Equity-first compensation comfort


Compensation & Rewards

Equity Partner Role: Meaningful share allocation from day one.
Token-Based Rewards: Future token grants, pending approvals.
Salary On-Ramp: Cash compensation phases in as we hit revenue and growth milestones.
Perks: Remote-first flexibility, professional development stipends, exclusive access to Anime Universe events and betas.


Our Promise

At Anime Universe, we believe work is magic when it’s meaningful. You’ll join a crew of creators who value ingenuity, collaboration, and impact. We commit to:
Champion Your Growth: Continuous learning stipends, mentorship circles, and leadership retreats.
Empower Your Voice: A flat structure—your ideas feed directly into the roadmap and boardroom.
Celebrate Every Win: From internal hackathons to public showcases, we put our team in the spotlight.
Foster Genuine Connection: Regular virtual gatherings, co-working stipends, and a global community that feels like family.


Together, we’ll build products that spark the next generation of fandom and define the future of interactive storytelling.
