The VP of Data & Analytics will also ensure the same metrics and reporting is used across different functions and is a critical enabler of the agentic AI program, as every AI initiative depends on the clean, reliable data infrastructure this role builds and governs.

• Build data products — operator-facing performance dashboards, executive scorecards, game analytics products that serve game designers and commercial teams

• Support the agentic AI program — ensure data infrastructure is sequenced and delivered to unblock ML model development and AI agent deployment
• Manage vendor relationships — Microsoft Fabric, data tooling providers, and analytics platform vendors
• Establish data literacy across the organization — training and enabling business users to access and use data through self-serve analytics tools like PowerBI

Skills/Requirements

• 10+ years of progressive data and analytics leadership, with at least 3 years in a VP, Senior Director, or Head of Data role
• Proven data platform build experience — has built or significantly transformed a data warehouse, data lake, or lakehouse from the ground up at a company of comparable scale
• Microsoft Fabric / Azure Data Stack expertise preferred — familiarity with OneLake, Azure Data Factory, Azure Synapse, and Power BI
• Strong data engineering foundations — deep enough technical understanding to review architecture decisions, evaluate engineering quality, and hire and develop data engineers
• Data governance expertise — experience implementing MDM, data cataloging (Purview, Collibra, or equivalent), and data quality frameworks
• Cross-functional stakeholder management — has served both technical teams (game developers, ML engineers) and business stakeholders (CFO, VP Sales) with data products
