Playrix: Lead Data Analyst (Cross-Project)

Lead Data Analyst (Cross-Project)

Playrix is one of the most successful companies in the world in the development of mobile games. In terms of revenue, we rank in the top 3 globally and are the leaders in revenue among all mobile applications in EMEA. Every employee in the company possesses outstanding skills and expertise in their respective fields, constantly evolving and elevating their capabilities. We seek to hire equally exceptional professionals, prioritizing qualitative growth over quantitative expansion.

We are currently looking for a leader for a team that creates and develops a user-level LTV forecasting system and tools for traffic acquisition based on it. Our acquisition is one of the largest in the market, and the evaluation tools are among the most sophisticated, as they are crucial for the business. This position presents a non-trivial challenge, requiring the future leader to have an exceptional blend of technical expertise and an understanding of business goals and needs.

We have established a team where everyone is part of an extensive community of analysts. As the Head of Product Analytics, you won't be limited to interaction solely with the product director and producers. You'll actively participate in the exchange of ideas and experiences, finding support and insights within a broad circle of top specialists in the field. This role allows for influencing the development of other products and directions.

This role requires relocation from Russia and Belarus to one of our offices or remote work from other countries (except Russia and Belarus). Find out morehere.
