What you’ll do on our team:

• Receive questions from our partners, determine the best ways that our data can help answer them, and provide those insights through dashboards, reports, or presentations.
• Develop insights to help our partners make informed decisions about in-game campaign planning.
• Work with game product managers to understand their experimentation needs and translate analysis into realistic recommendations.
• Explore player behaviour patterns in our data to identify opportunities to improve the player experience.
• Model trends in our data to predict the ways in which new content and campaigns will affect our performance.
• Investigate how live content and campaigns impact our in-game player economy.
• Present analyses and findings to our partners in a clear and understandable way.

What we’re looking for:

• A bachelor’s degree in Business, Statistics, Mathematics, Economics, Data Science, Analytics, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in an analytics role using data to help guide decisions in a consumer products-oriented industry (e.g. gaming, entertainment, e-commerce).
• Excellent SQL querying skills.
• Proficiency analyzing large datasets in a spreadsheet program and in programmatic analysis tools (e.g. Python, R).
• Experience with data visualization applications (e.g. PowerBI, Tableau, Looker).
• Experience in statistical modelling (e.g. regression, clustering, predictive modelling).
