Null Signal Games is now recruiting an Assistant Vice-President (VP) of Product! The Assistant VP of Product works closely with the VP of the Product team, which is responsible for all aspects of creating Netrunner products, from the initial concepts to the final products available in many languages across the globe. The Assistant VP works with the VP to oversee the entire Product department, helping teams coordinate, removing roadblocks, and devising the long-term product strategy for Netrunner. In many ways, the VP of Product is a “fixer” for Netrunner products, making sure that plans are executed smoothly and run into as few problems as possible. This is equally true of the assistant VP, whose duties will often include executing on special cross-team projects, as well as helping teams identify bandwidth issues and recruit to alleviate those issues.
