The role involves building analytical frameworks for mobile marketing, conducting performance analysis, and partnering with various teams to optimize campaign effectiveness.
Responsibilities
- Own the analytical frameworks for tracking mobile marketing effectiveness in a privacy-aware environment, bridging platform-reported data, attribution data, MMP data, and internal truth to support confident decisions despite measurement noise
- Own the end-to-end design and maintenance of marketing analytics dashboards in Sigma/Tableau, serving as a trusted source of truth for performance, user quality, payback, and profitability reporting
- Conduct granular analysis on campaign, ad set, ad, and creative performance (IPM, CPM, CPI, CAC, ROAS), providing data-driven recommendations and partnering with marketing to spot creative fatigue and winning assets
- Analyze mobile user cohorts to understand retention, monetization, payback, and LTV behaviors, identifying efficiency trends across leagues, teams, and acquisition sources to guide budget allocation
- Partner with marketing and finance to understand channel incrementality, profitability, and spend efficiency, building financial scenario models to inform where to scale, reduce, or reallocate spend
- Design, analyze, and interpret experiments to measure true channel incrementality and marketing lift, including geo-lift, PSA tests, and audience holdouts, translating results into practical recommendations
- Own analytical support for retargeting and audience strategy, building and maintaining user lists and improving segmentation to ensure programs drive incremental value rather than capturing organic demand
- Analyze how marketplace conditions, event demand, league mix, pricing, and seasonality influence acquisition efficiency, helping distinguish marketing execution shifts from broader marketplace dynamics
- Partner with leadership to translate complex analyses into clear recommendations on spend allocation, channel strategy, and growth investment, communicating tradeoffs and risks to support fast decisions
- Stay current on the evolving mobile privacy and attribution landscape (Apple ATT, MMP capabilities) to keep data science a competitive advantage in how Gametime measures and scales mobile growth
