Report to Sr. Director, Analytics

Analytics is not viewed as a service, but rather as a partner with an equal seat at the table, therefore this is a role where you are expected to push beyond a traditional analytics remit:
• You will bring the quantitative perspective but you will need to work with your creative teammates in Product and Design and influence using top quality insights
• Understand that everyone in the company should and will be end-users, and in this position, you will be part of the group responsible for setting up and acting on that vision.
• You will analysis while still focusing on the long-term vision for the game. Mobile games are a blend of the creative side of game design and the hard math of live-services, and you will need to understand both sides of that coin.

Games and gaming are changing. Over the next few years, that change is going to accelerate and without the proper knowledge and toolsets to exploit this, many developers will struggle to keep up with it. Our job on this team is to ensure that our studios are equipped with as much insight and clarity as possible to not only keep pace but become the shapers of that evolution, to help EA lead into the future. We find that exciting and we hope that you do, too
