Description:
The Game Data Expat is a senior game analytics expert engaged on a 3–6 month contract to build, operationalize, and transfer a robust game analytics system to the internal team. This role is hands-on with senior team members, focused on frameworks, insight quality, and analytics operations — ensuring the company builds the right system from the start and avoids costly rework. The Expat works closely with the Head of Game Data Analysis, acting as a system builder, strategic challenger, and capability accelerator rather than a line manager.
Responsibilities:
•Co-design an end-to-end game analytics framework, covering gameplay, retention, monetization, and live ops.
•Define north-star metrics, core KPIs, benchmarks, and early warning signals for game performance.
•Review and refine event tracking and data schemas to ensure analytical depth and scalability.
•Hands-on review and challenge analysis outputs and insights produced by the team.
•Ensure every insight answers the "so what" and leads to a clear decision or action.
•Act as a strategic challenger to the Head of Game Data Analysis and senior analysts, identifying blind spots and biases.
•Co-create A/B testing and experimentation frameworks, from hypothesis design to success metrics.
•Guide the team in interpreting experiment results and avoiding common analytical pitfalls.
•Apply international best practices and real-world lessons to live ops, events, and monetization decisions.
•Coach senior and junior analysts through real production cases, not theoretical training.
•Standardize analytics playbooks, insight templates, and experiment workflows.
•Assess team maturity and recommend next-step improvements beyond the engagement period.
Requirements:
•10+ years of experience in game analytics, preferably in mobile, F2P, or live-service games.
•Proven track record of building or fixing analytics systems in real production environments.
•Experience working with cross-functional leadership (game, product, monetization).
•Deep understanding of gameplay loops, retention mechanics, monetization models, and live ops.
•Strong knowledge of game metrics, cohort analysis, experimentation, and KPI design.
•Solid understanding of tracking design, data schemas, and analytics pipelines (coding not required).
•Strong ability to mentor, challenge, and elevate analytics teams.
•Excellent communication and data storytelling skills.
•Comfortable operating in high-ambiguity, fast-paced game environments.
Nice to have:
•Experience working with international game studios or publishers.
•Experience joining teams at early or scaling stages.
•Background in multiple game genres or platforms.
