Senior Games Analyst (all genders)

JustPlay is looking for a Senior Gaming Analyst to join the team. You’ll work hand-in-hand with our cross-functional Games team to bring clarity, insights, and data-driven confidence to every product decision - and ultimately make the player experience even better.

We're looking for someone who's naturally curious about both the technical challenges of data analysis and the business questions that drive our product strategy. You'll need to take initiative and work proactively, bring creativity to your problem-solving approach, and be eager to go beyond the numbers to truly understand what makes our players tick.

Job requirements

• At least 5 years of experience in an analytics role, preferably in product analytics focusing on consumer-facing products

• At least 2 years experience analyzing mobile games, including understanding of gaming-specific metrics (retention curves, progression funnels, IAA, IAP, ARPDAU). Experience working across a portfolio of games is a plus

• Experience designing tracking specifications and overseeing implementation of event tracking

• Experience planning, conducting and analyzing A/B tests, with understanding of statistical significance, hypothesis testing, and experimentation best practices

• Experience defining and implementing metrics and building clear visualizations using BI platforms such as Looker, Tableau, or Metabase

• Proficient in SQL and Python, including packages such as Pandas and Numpy

• Experience with collaborative analysis environments such as Google Colab or Jupyter notebooks

• Hands-on experience with data warehouses such as BigQuery or Snowflake

• Strong attention to detail and ability to interpret complex data

• Excellent communication skills and proven experience collaborating with business stakeholders

• Experience using Mobile Attribution and Mobile Analytics tools for measuring user acquisition and engagement is a plus

This job is not for you if

• You don't mind doing analyses whose results will be ignored

• You enjoy repetitive tasks that do not require you to think or be creative

• You don't believe automation is a good use of your time

• You don't care about business goals and measuring impact

• You're comfortable using methods without understanding the science behind them

• You see games just as data points rather than experiences that delight players

• You are not looking for an environment that challenges you

• You don't ask challenging questions

But if you're passionate about using data to make games more engaging, love collaborating with creative teams, and thrive on driving measurable impact - we'd love to hear from you!

Job responsibilities

• Analyze game data, including player engagement, level progression, retention, and monetization metrics (IAA and IAP)

• Deep dive into user behavior data to unearth usage patterns and motivations, and influence product roadmap based on these findings

• Evaluate the impact of individual game changes on our broader games portfolio, identify patterns and trade-offs, and influence our decisions and strategy

• Define metrics and build reporting and visualizations that provide clear and accurate data to Gaming and Business teams

• Develop and evolve tracking specifications to ensure we collect accurate, reliable and actionable data

• Plan, define, conduct and evaluate A/B tests to drive experimentation-led product development. Manage the testing roadmap

• Work closely with product managers, designers, and developers to translate findings into actionable recommendations that improve our KPIs

• Collaborate with Engineering and Analytics teams to improve our data products and define the data we need to collect for optimal outcomes

• Promote data literacy and advocate for data-driven decision making across the organization

• Stay up-to-date with industry trends and share best practices to drive game design, monetization strategies, and user experience improvements
