• Partner closely with Games senior leadership and pertinent partner teams (Games Studio (content), Games Finance & Strategy, Product Design, Product Management, Data Science and Engineering, etc.)

• Drive results into impact, synthesizing and communicating insights throughout the organization (including executive leadership) with clear, compelling deliverables.

• Bring vision to a developing and rapidly evolving space, identifying the root question(s) to solve for and how to unearth insights that will inform key business decisions.

What we’re looking for:

• 6+ years of hands-on experience conducting primary research in games, entertainment, or tech.

  • Preferred: Experience supporting 0-to-1 product development with insights / UX research
