Responsibilities
- Evaluate the first-time user experience and early player journey, identifying tutorial drop-off, time to meaningful gameplay, early-game difficulty, and opportunities to improve onboarding.
- Assess how effectively new players understand core mechanics and determine which systems and complexity should be introduced early versus later.
- Analyse the game economy, including currencies, progression systems, sinks, faucets, resource scarcity, progression gates, and the overall player power curve.
- Evaluate progression pacing, player demand, long-term goals, and the relationship between power progression and competitive fairness.
- Identify and mitigate potential pay-to-win risks while maintaining a healthy and sustainable economy.
- Review monetization strategy across first purchases, offers, pricing, regional price points, payer segmentation, conversion, battle passes, rewarded advertising, and spending progression.
- Develop recommendations for monetization structures that enhance the player experience rather than negatively affecting engagement or competitive integrity.
- Analyse retention and live-game depth, including core loops, match quality, fairness, short- and long-term goals, collection motivation, and daily or weekly engagement mechanisms.
- Evaluate events, content cadence, LiveOps opportunities, churn patterns, and return behaviour to identify ways to strengthen long-term engagement.
- Analyse raw player and product data, including cohorts, funnels, retention, conversion, and behavioural metrics, to identify meaningful patterns and opportunities.
- Translate quantitative and qualitative analysis into clear, actionable product recommendations and help prioritise opportunities based on expected impact.
- Work cross-functionally with product, game design, economy, analytics, and LiveOps teams to implement recommendations and assess the results after changes are shipped.
- Balance monetization, progression, retention, player experience, and competitive fairness when making product recommendations.

- Ability to work directly with raw player and product data and independently identify meaningful insights.
- Strong understanding of cohorts, conversion funnels, retention metrics, player segmentation, and behavioural analysis.
- Sound analytical judgment, including the ability to distinguish between reliable evidence and data that does not yet support a clear conclusion.
- Proven ability to translate analysis into concise, practical, and impactful product recommendations.
- Strong understanding of competitive integrity and the risks associated with pay-to-win mechanics.
- Ability to collaborate effectively across product management, game design, economy, analytics, and LiveOps functions.
