Insights Analyst, Wild Rift (Contract)

Riot Games was established in 2006 by entrepreneurial gamers who believe that player-focused game development can result in great games. In 2009, Riot released its debut title League of Legends to critical and player acclaim. As the most played video game in the world, over 100 million play every month. Players form the foundation of our community and it’s for them that we continue to evolve and improve the League of Legends experience.

We’re looking for humble but ambitious, razor-sharp professionals who can teach us a thing or two. We promise to return the favor. Like us, you take play seriously; you’re passionate about games. We embrace those who see things differently, aren’t afraid to experiment, and who have a healthy disregard for constraints.

That's where you come in.

As Analysts at Riot, we build analyses that help Rioters to make difficult decisions. We are part of an interdisciplinary team that works with Rioters from other disciplines (i.e. - designers, artists, engineers, producers) to conduct studies and analyses that will inform the features, systems, and experiences of our products.

The Insights discipline helps Rioters make strategic data-informed decisions. We're an interdisciplinary group of scientists, economists, consultants, and strategists from all sorts of backgrounds who join together to represent and advocate for players around the world. We believe that illuminating the globally diverse experiences, behaviors, and needs of players is essential to Riot living up to our player-focused mission. We're a group united by our love of games, science, and helping others succeed.

As an Insights Analyst (Contract) on the Wild Rift team, you will collaborate directly with Wild Rift game leadership to illuminate key business decisions through rigorous data analysis and strategic insights. Your technical expertise and analytical rigor will play an instrumental role in advancing Wild Rift’s publishing initiatives across brand marketing, performance marketing, channel optimization, and player acquisition strategies. As a crucial contributor, you'll also execute regular tracking based on standardized measurement methodologies, and deliver insightful reporting that empowers strategic action.
