Lead development projects for digital book services, managing requirements, design, and vendor collaboration.
About this role
Dwango is hiring a Service Planning Director for sheeta, its own fan-community platform, which draws on the operating know-how of Niconico Channel and Niconico Channel Plus, services with more than 1.4 million paying members in total. Partners use sheeta to build their own fan clubs with video, live streaming, payments and newsletters.
The director leads feature additions and improvements from requirements to release. This means turning business requests into feasible requirements and specifications with engineers, including non-functional ones, prioritising the backlog and leading the scrum team to release, building operating models for new features, coordinating with Niconico services and outside partners, and improving the product from user logs and payment figures. The first six months to a year are spent alongside the existing team learning the system and stakeholders.
Applicants need at least two years of requirements definition or specification work on web or app system development, with logical thinking and drive to finish projects valued over years. Cross-team cooperation, interest in streaming technology and large web services, billing or payment development direction and number-based improvement planning are preferred.
