• Develop a deep understanding of player progression and predict the results of economy changes and new features and content
• Leverage AI tools to support economy modelling, balance simulations, and data-driven decision-making
• Monitor economic KPIs and player balances for player segments to ensure the overall health of the game’s economy
• Conduct A/B tests to optimise game KPIs to deliver a fantastic player experience while maintaining a healthy game economy
• Collaborate with the game designers and other key stakeholders to level up our understanding of the value and impact of economy changes across player segments and identify improvement areas

• Strong quantitative and analytical skills with an emphasis on metrics-driven decision making
