We are looking for a dedicated and proactive Senior Marketing Analyst interested in building, defining and pushing the boundaries of marketing Data and Analytics within Soda Analytics. You will work closely between central teams, Soda Analytics & Reporting, and Soda marketing teams/leads.

Your role within our Kingdom

You will be working with a diverse set of team members in a lively, dynamic and fast-paced environment. You’ll help us further understand the marketing landscape by analyzing the effect of marketing activities on the bottom line as well as player behavior. As the team’s scope is broad, you will also help to support cross-Soda projects that require a general analytics skill set. While you will primarily work on analytics related to PM and Brand activities, you will be expected to contribute to other projects as well.

Specifically, you’ll:

  • Become the bridge point between marketing and analytics within Soda Analytics.

  • Proactively develop new relationships with external and internal data providers and teams working with PM / Brand spend.

  • Develop, maintain and own a portfolio of analytical tools/reporting that can be used to more quickly and effectively understand marketing investment impact.

  • Provide the Soda Analytics team with in-depth knowledge of marketing impact, qualitative and quantitative player data/trends, and act as the expert in marketing analytics in Soda

Skills to build thrills

There is plenty of scope at King for you to learn from your colleagues in the areas where you have less experience, and to share your own skills where you are stronger.

Specific factors that are advantageous to excel in this role include:

  • Analytical mindset: You are a data driven storyteller who thrives in speed of delivery, domain knowledge and wide understanding of available tech and data. You are comfortable with loosely defined problems and insights

  • Business Insight: You have the ability to identify the real problem and issues our teams want to tackle. You know how to define the right data, critical metrics, analyses or interpretations leading to the right recommendations.

  • Communication: You’re comfortable crafting good ways of communicating, visualizing or reporting your results/analyses, so they are clear and unambiguous to technical and non-technical team members.

  • Prior experience with marketing analytics, specifically PM (performance marketing): As this is a new area of specialization in Soda, we need someone who can get off the ground running and help set the way forward with market best practices.

Other experience that might be advantageous, but is not required, includes:

  • Consumer Insights analytics: you have worked with survey and/or interview based data on consumer behavior

  • Technical skills: You can extract, manipulate and visualize data and you have a good understanding of applied statistics (probability and confidence theory). You are comfortable with SQL, familiar with Python/R and/or you know how to use visualization tools like Looker for reporting/monitoring needs.

  • Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform (BigQuery)

  • Experience in the games industry, customer service or similarly customer-facing digital businesses.
