Your Mission

Our Global Analytics team is seeking a technically skilled and strategically minded Senior Manager of Mobile Marketing Analytics to support Call of Duty: Mobile.

• Design and maintain robust data models to support high-scale, low-latency marketing analytics use cases across our Growth function – LTV, retention, and monetization.

• Build and optimize marketing dashboards and reporting systems in BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker) to track cohorted KPIs such as CPI, ROAS, Retention, conversion rates, and attribution accuracy.

• Directly manage a small team of BI Analysts supporting our Growth & Mobile Marketing organization. Collaborate with Data Scientists and Analytics Engineers.

• Partner with Central Data Engineering teams to ensure scalable, clean, and reliable data infrastructure that supports analytics workflows and campaign automation.

• Implement and evaluate UA attribution methodologies (e.g., multi-touch, probabilistic modeling, MMM) in a post-IDFA world, while owning compliance & data privacy flows.

• Develop a scalable media measurement data pipeline, A/B testing frameworks, and incrementality studies to guide strategic decisions on budget allocation and creative optimization.

• Provide clear and actionable insights to senior stakeholders across Growth and Mobile Marketing teams.

• Communicate complex analyses and insights to senior stakeholders with clarity and precision.

Player Profile

Minimum Requirements:

• 6-10+ years of experience in mobile marketing analytics, data science, or data engineering with a heavy focus on mobile user acquisition and marketing data.

• Deep understanding of mobile marketing ecosystems, including ad networks, DSPs, MMPs (e.g., Appsflyer, Adjust), data pipeline tools (e.g., Airflow, dbt, BigQuery, Redshift, Snowflake), and data privacy regulations (e.g., ATT, GDPR, RTBF, CCPA).

• Strong proficiency in SQL, Python, and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker, Power BI).

• Experience with marketing attribution methodologies (e.g., multi-touch, last-click, MMM) and cohort performance forecasting.

• Prior experience managing junior analysts/engineers and leading cross-functional data projects.

• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present insights to non-technical audiences and senior leadership.

• Bachelor’s degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Statistics, Economics, Computer Science, Engineering). Master’s preferred.

Extra Points:

• Experience in mobile gaming, especially free-to-play titles.

• Can communicate in Mandarin
