Join the leader in entertainment innovation and help us design the future. At Dolby, science meets art, and high tech means more than computer code. As a member of the Dolby team, you’ll see and hear the results of your work everywhere, from movie theaters to smartphones. We continue to revolutionize how people create, deliver, and enjoy entertainment worldwide. To do that, we need the absolute best talent. We’re big enough to give you all the resources you need, and small enough so you can make a real difference and earn recognition for your work. We offer a collegial culture, challenging projects, and excellent compensation and benefits, not to mention a Flex Work approach that is truly flexible to support where, when, and how you do your best work.
Dolby’s consumer entertainment and cinema businesses are bringing Dolby’s breakthrough technologies, powering the world’s top movies, TV shows, music, games, and live sports to more places around the world across a wider range of consumer experiences and devices.
Dolby is seeking a Senior Product Manager to lead our game creation ecosystem across console, PC, and mobile. Dolby unlocks the power of sight and sound in the pursuit of awe-inspiring experiences, and in gaming, we are just getting started. Come and help lead the evolution of audio and imaging technology in games and open up new creative possibilities for the game development community that they simply never knew were possible.
As a Senior Product Manager, you will be responsible for a portfolio of products used by creative professionals for the creation and manipulation of games in Dolby Atmos and Dolby Vision. In this role, you will drive product, business, and ecosystem strategy; you will be the voice of the customer, turning feature requests and business requirements - combined with your natural intuition for making great products - into spectacular solutions for the game creation community.
You are innately curious with a passion for games and game creation, and more importantly, bringing new experiences to the world. You are experienced in the craft and business of games from the perspectives of content creator, publisher, or tool developer. You have a deep empathy for how games are made, the artistry that goes into them, and the workflows that make them possible.
You have the technical ability to go deep with research and engineering when required but understand that your real value is your strategic thinking and your business and product acumen. You understand how our creation solutions fit into the broader Gaming business to ensure we bring the right solutions to market.
You are a leader, taking your colleagues and customers on the journey with you; inspiring them through your adept knowledge and passion for the work we do. You can interact with stakeholders across multiple disciplines and geographies. You will have regular engagement with external customers and partners, representing Dolby to the industry. You use data to inform decisions but understand that the data alone never tells the whole story, and your deep empathy for our customers will provide your strongest signals. You can work both collaboratively and with a high degree of autonomy.
The position reports to the Sr. Director of Creation, Distribution, and Games and is ideally based in San Francisco, although other locations will be considered.

- Provide clear guidance to Dolby’s Advanced Technology Group (ATG) on areas of innovation that are required to deliver on your vision

Requirements:
- Expert at getting things done, even when faced with ambiguity and risk; comfortable embracing a mindset of ownership
- 3+ years product management experience in the area of game creation (or adjacent), with experience of full product lifecycle management, from finding the problems worth solving, through to delivering solutions that achieve a successful differentiated product/market fit
- Expertise in real-time engine based workflows and tools
- Passionate about games, and helping game developers realize their creative vision, ideally with a particular passion for audio and imaging technology
