We’re looking for a Senior UX Researcher to join our research team to support our games in the Puzzle studio in Espoo, Finland.

As a UX Researcher at Rovio you will leverage your passion for mobile puzzle games and user research skills to help game teams understand their audience and create the most intuitive, accessible, user friendly and engaging games in the mobile industry.

In this role you will have the opportunity to work on our live games by helping product teams answer the most challenging questions they face around design and target audience. This includes working closely with many parts of the organisation including game leads, UX and game design, BI, marketing, art, community, studio management, as well as external research companies and platforms.

Through player insight you will influence and inspire positive change at all stages of the feature and live-ops development by conducting qualitative and quantitative research and delivering findings to stakeholders through workshops, collaboration, presentations, and reports.

Ultimately your role will enable studios to acknowledge both business and player needs and define their target audience through understanding player experience, expectations and motivations. This will enable teams to make informed user-centred decisions and solutions through research and insights to deliver world class mobile games.
