Why this role matters
Every decision we make — from game design to monetization — should be grounded in player data. That’s where you come in.
We’re looking for a Lead Data Analyst to build the foundation of our data practice, lead a small analytics team, and turn raw player behavior into insights that drive features, optimize performance, and fuel growth. You’ll work cross-functionally with design, product, marketing, and live ops to ensure we’re not just making games — we’re making the right ones.
This is a leadership role for someone who thrives on autonomy, strategic thinking, and getting their hands dirty in the data.

- Own end-to-end analytics strategy across multiple titles
- Build, manage, and mentor a team of analysts focused on product, player, and monetization data
- Define KPIs and success metrics for game health, engagement, and revenue
- Develop and maintain dashboards and reporting tools for internal teams
- Collaborate with game designers and PMs to support feature design and balancing
- Translate complex data into clear, actionable insights for stakeholders at all levels
- Champion a data-first culture across product, design, and leadership
Requirements
- 5+ years in data analytics or product analytics, ideally in gaming or mobile tech
- Proven leadership experience — team lead, senior IC with mentorship, or similar
- Fluent in SQL , and skilled in tools like Tableau, Looker, or Power BI
- Strong understanding of F2P gaming metrics (retention, LTV, churn, ARPU, etc.)
- Experience working directly with product, live ops, or monetization teams
- Strong communication skills — able to tailor messaging to execs, designers, and devs
- Comfortable driving analytics priorities in a fast-moving environment
Nice to have
- Experience with mobile analytics tools (e.g., Amplitude, Firebase, GameAnalytics )
- Knowledge of A/B testing, cohort analysis, and statistical rigor
- Familiarity with Python or R for deeper analysis
- Past experience scaling data practices in a startup or growth-stage game studio
- Background in behavioral science, marketing analytics, or user segmentation
About the Company
- Work on high-impact games played by millions
- Help define the analytics culture from the ground up
- Flat structure, fast decisions, and space to innovate
- Competitive salary, equity, and bonus plans tied to studio performance
