Lead Data Analyst
Summary
Lead a data team analyzing player behavior in free-to-play games, defining KPIs for engagement/revenue, and translating insights into product decisions for design, monetization, and live ops teams.
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.
What you’ll do
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
