  • Get ‘hands on’ developing data solutions where you see you can provide the most value, such as monitoring KPIs, one off analyses, data automations or backend development.
  • Help mentor and motivate the data team to develop their skills through support and sparring, empowering them to innovate and achieve their best.
 
We require:
  • Advanced SQL (with big data warehouse structures).
  • Advanced visualization in BI tools such as Looker or Tableau.
  • Strong experience with mobile marketing, game analytics, and/or financial forecasting.
  • Very strong communication and interpersonal skills as part of a multidisciplinary and diverse team.

  • Located within a European time-zone, preferably in Helsinki.
 
We admire:
  • A strong understanding of the mobile games ecosystem and development practices.
  • Previous successes in team leadership and directing data strategy.
  • A proactive approach to guiding decisions and planning for the future.
  • A love for diverse, low-hierarchy organizations.
 
We offer:
  • True ownership and responsibility in one of the best game companies in Finland
  • Competitive salary and benefits, flexible working hours
  • Great, caring community working in an agile environment 
  • Strong focus on employee wellbeing
  • Space to grow and learn
  • Low hierarchy and support in learning to navigate in it

  • Relocation support, if needed

About Futureplay

Futureplay was founded in 2015 by a team of five Finnish game industry veterans who shared a vision to transform the way mobile games are played around the world. In the short years since, we have released seven titles that have been played by over 120 million people worldwide, and expanded our team to more than 50 people. 

At Futureplay, we are committed to creating an inclusive working environment and providing the same opportunities for everyone. We value people with diverse backgrounds, experiences and ideas, so even if you feel like you don't meet all the requirements listed here but feel that you have the potential, we encourage you to apply!
