Lead Data Analyst

Role Summary

This is a remote position.

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.

• 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
• Flexible location and hours — remote-first by design
