Project Manager (Based in HCMC)
TLDR
Drive personalization and AI core projects by aligning cross-functional teams and utilizing data insights to create engaging player experiences for millions worldwide.
This role exists because both projects are too important to run without someone whose full-time job is making them move.
Personalization
Ship the Personalization feature pipeline on schedule by having Product Design, Data Engineering, and Data Science working off a single, agreed-upon roadmap, with no critical dependency left unresolved
Measurable uplift in user engagement (time spent, session length) and LTV in tested games
Reduce cross-team friction on Personalization to the point where the three disciplines can run a joint sprint without needing you in every room
AI Core
Establish a data quality standard for AI Core within the first 90 days: operational, user, and financial data are collected, clean, and auditable
Create an environment that helps everyone in Amanotes to build agents and applications based on the data
At Amanotes, we work based on outcomes. The responsibilities below help clarify what this role covers day-to-day, but they're a guide, not a cage.
Personalization
Own the Personalization project plan end-to-end: timelines, milestones, dependencies, and the people accountable for each
Run the integration layer between Product Design, Data Engineering, and Data Science, surfacing conflicts early and keeping all three aligned on shared priorities
Develop a working understanding of the ML models powering personalization (dynamic difficulty adjustment, song recommendation, monetization optimization); understand how they are trained, what data they consume, and what their output means for the player experience
Drive the tuning and optimization cycle for personalization models: coordinate experiment design (A/B tests, bandit policies), track model performance metrics, surface insights from experiment results, and ensure learnings feed back into the next iteration of model parameters and feature engineering
Work with data scientists and vendor partnerships to translate model outputs into actionable product decision, bridging the gap between "the model says X" and "the product should do Y"
AI Core
Drive AI Core's data readiness agenda: work with data teams to define, track, and close gaps in data collection and data quality across all three data domains (operational, user, financial)
Continuously monitor the data usage to identify issues and take corrective actions.
Shared
Prepare and present clear project status updates to CEO Office leadership - what's on track, what's at risk, and what needs a decision
Design and facilitate the collaboration structures (standups, reviews, retrospectives) that actually make cross-functional teams move faster
Document decisions and rationale so the institutional knowledge lives in the system, not in anyone's head
Must Have
Run a complex cross-functional project end-to-end, involving at least two technical disciplines that don't naturally speak the same language
Enough data fluency to hold a credible conversation with data engineers about pipeline design and with data scientists about model readiness, training loops, and experiment interpretation
Enough product design fluency to hold a credible conversation with game designers and product owners about player experience trade-offs
Have worked on personalization, recommendation, or ML-powered product initiatives — you understand what it takes to move a model from prototype to production and how to measure whether it's actually working
A track record of building project visibility that leadership relies on, not because they're forced to, but because it's genuinely useful
Experience in agile methodologies and in a tech product company, where priorities shift and ambiguity is the default
Minimum 5 years of experience in project management, program management, or technical product management
Nice to Have
Experience with A/B testing frameworks, contextual bandits, or reinforcement learning in a product context
Familiarity with mobile gaming, music-tech, or entertainment products
Experience managing vendor/partner relationships for ML or data platform services
