Analytics Manager, Commercialization

About Us

Atari has been a bright spot in the struggling games industry: quietly but quickly growing year-over-year. The Commercial team has played a critical part in making that possible. We are looking for someone to lead analysis on a large, complex, quickly growing dataset and help us make better commercial decisions every day.

What you’ll do

Operate the Commercial Brain

• Scope analyses with the Commercial Brain, interrogate its reasoning, and find its errors and unstated assumptions before they reach a decision.
• Act as the second reviewer of record on analyses that today have only one. Verification is a primary deliverable of this role.
• Own the empirical loop: every significant decision records an expected outcome, and you measure actuals against it. For example, outcome backfills, hypothesis tests, and calling out falsifications as wins.
• Own data trust: reconcile our sales data against platform ground truth, adjudicate defects with our data providers, and refuse to let analyses run on numbers that haven’t cleared.
• Build automations that remove manual analytical work and free capacity for higher-order problems.

Commercial analysis & decision support

• Own recurring per-game analysis like pricing, discounting, regional performance, and lifecycle dynamics across hundreds of games. For some types of analysis, you’ll inherit a documented method that you will challenge and extend. For other types, you’ll create the methods then turn them into repeatable AI skills.
• Take ambiguous commercial questions and independently define the approach, structure, and output. Then turn your approach into AI context and repeatable AI skills and scripts.

Financial modelling and business cases

• Build business cases for commercial decisions including game forecasting, platform deals, bundle strategies, and portfolio opportunities (ports, streaming, cloud gaming, physical partnerships, etc.)
• Develop metrics to measure the holistic performance of our commercialization system at every level.

Collaboration

• Partner closely with our Business Operations Manager. The line between you will not be tidy: there is more process to define than one person can carry, so both of you will need to be comfortable stepping across it.
• Keep a written record of the judgment calls behind your work, reviewed weekly, so the reasoning is inspectable rather than in someone’s head.
• Present findings and recommendations to the Director of Commercial and, where relevant, to executive leadership.
