Electronic Arts Ventures Group
The future of entertainment is interactive, and our Ventures Group plays an important role in this future by building content, culture, and community that take us Beyond Gaming.
We empower audiences to Play, Create, Watch, and Connect across our franchises and experiences, including The Sims, Madden NFL, EA SPORTS FC, Apex Legends, and Battlefield.
Beyond our existing franchises, Ventures focuses on incubating bold new ideas - we explore emerging technologies, develop new platforms, and create entirely new forms of interactive entertainment. You will report to the GM of Ventures.
What We're Building
We're launching a new wave of incubation within EA - small, fast-moving teams exploring 0 → 1 product opportunities.
As a Product Founder, you'll be the driving force behind one of these new ventures. You'll partner with a Technical Architect to rapidly build, test, and launch a new sports product from the ground up.
The Product Founder will lead the creation of a new interactive software product from concept through scale. Working with a Technical Architect (Engineering Founder), you will rapidly validate ideas. You will build product experiences using AI-assisted development, launch to market, and iterate toward product-market fit. If successful, they will scale it into something enduring.
This role is not a traditional Product Manager. It requires a founder mindset with equal strength across product strategy, business leadership, customer validation, and hands-on product development.
