Senior PS Specialist (PX Team)

Mixing the world-class expertise of six different crafts – Product Marketing, User Acquisition, User Experience Research, Market Intelligence, Marketing Video Production, and Player Experience, our team’s main mission is to fuel the growth of our games portfolio.

Largely embedded within game teams and in close collaboration with a large variety of stakeholders, our role is to identify, anticipate and make sure to satisfy our target audiences’ needs and wants.

Within this role, a successful PX specialist will provide players with experiences that drive deeper engagement, both through working directly with players, but also by bringing actionable player needs to the game team as the voice of the player.
