Job Title: Associate Data Analyst, Diablo 4

Job Description:

Blizzard Entertainment games don’t just begin with game ideas or end once those games are released. A lot more goes into the creation of a Blizzard product than the work of developers—and we support our games for years after they’re in the hands of gamers worldwide. Blizzard Entertainment is seeking an Associate Data Analyst to join the Diablo 4 Global Insights team.

Covid-19 Hiring Update: We’ve transitioned to a work-from-home model and we’re continuing to interview and hire during this time. This role is expected to begin as a remote position. We understand each person’s circumstances may be unique and will work with you to explore possible interim options.

Responsibilities

• Breakdown large raw datasets into actionable business insights.
• Effectively communicate findings to both technical and non-technical audiences for business and gameplay projects alike. Partner with the team to develop recommendations from those findings.
• Collaborate with Game Designers, Producers, Engineers, and Commercial partners to deliver gameplay and business impact.

Minimum Qualifications

• Strong analytical orientation and strong problem-solving skills, demonstrated by the ability to structure an issue and analyze alternative solutions.
• Curious, internally motivated self-starter with ability to plan, organize, and establish priorities to manage multiple projects and achieve results.
• Ability to structure a concise, clear presentation of findings, based on large sets of complex data, and effectively present this to any level in the organization with appropriate visualizations.
• Strong quantitative skills with a penchant for analytical query writing.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in Gaming, Management Consulting, Data Analytics, Product Management, or similar quantitative analysis roles.
• MBA or Masters’ degree in an analytical field
• A working knowledge of the ARPG genre and business models (particularly in the Diablo franchise)
• Experience working with data using SQL (BigQuery, Hive, Redshift, Vertica, etc…)
• Experience with specialized visualization tools (Tableau, Looker, Datastudio, etc...)
• Demonstrated experience with some or all of the following: data modeling, statistics, experimental design, predictive modeling, data engineering, or workflow scheduling.

Required Application Materials

• Resume
• Cover Letter which should include:
• Why you are interested in working at Blizzard
• What games you are currently playing
