Mojang Studios is best known as the creators of Minecraft, but we’re also on a mission – to build a better world through the power of play.
Why play? Well, play is at the heart of everything we do. It’s the blocky backbone of our games, the core of our development philosophy, and even the origin of our name. From the relentless experimentation of our endlessly inspiring community to the classrooms where Minecraft has become an essential teaching tool, play is the bedrock of our existence.

- Translate strategic objectives into team priorities while fostering engagement, ownership, and collaboration.
- Use data, player insights, and community feedback to inform decisions, uncover opportunities and validate your strategy.
- Be the expert in knowing your customers, their needs, and what problems they have that you can solve today and in the future.
- Collaborate closely with other product leaders across Mojang Studios to align product vision, priorities, and drive impact at scale.
To succeed in this role, we believe you have experience in:
- At least 6 years of experience in product leadership roles.
- Defining and driving technical product strategy.
- Building alignment and driving outcomes across highly technical and cross-functional teams with strong expertise, diverse viewpoints, and a willingness to challenge ideas.
