Student Assistant, Insights
Role purpose
As an Insights Student Assistant in the Global Insights team, you will support global product, marketing, and sales strategies by helping turn market data and consumer research into actionable insights.
You will work with a variety of data sources, tools, and stakeholders across the organisation. The role requires strong attention to detail, a structured approach, and the ability to balance work responsibilities with your studies.
You do not need to be a gamer to succeed in this role. However, curiosity about gaming, technology, consumer behaviour, and the industry will help you quickly build context and contribute as a voice of the consumer.
About you
You are comfortable working in Excel and enjoy using data to identify patterns, answer questions, and communicate clear recommendations. You have a strong quantitative foundation—particularly in maths and statistics—and are confident communicating findings in writing and presentations.
You are currently studying and expect to have approximately 2–3 years remaining in your programme.

Ways of working
- A structured and reliable approach, with the ability to manage several smaller tasks at once.
- Curiosity, initiative, and confidence asking questions when needed.
- A collaborative mindset and comfort working with stakeholders across different teams and locations.
- An interest in gaming and the gaming industry is an advantage, as it may help you understand our products and audiences.
