You will be responsible for performing in-depth research, analyzing game trends, and crafting data-driven recommendations that help our clients make informed strategic decisions. **Location:**\ We are located in California but have an entirely remote workforce (and have for years). This role is a contract role that will be done remotely—meaning you can work wherever you want—but it will be ongoing, consistent work. **Key Responsibilities:** * Conduct in-depth research and analysis on mobile games, market trends, and competitive landscapes. * Create custom reports and presentations that provide clear, actionable insights to our clients. * Track, analyze, and synthesize qualitative and quantitative data from multiple sources, including gameplay analysis, industry reports, and user feedback. **About You:** * You are diligent, disciplined to get your work done, and smart. * You want to have autonomy and do great work that you are proud of. * You are a faster learner and enjoy the challenge of figuring things out. * Excellent writing skills, with the ability to explain complex findings in simple terms. **Requirements:** * No prior experience required, but a background in research, analytics, consulting, or gaming can be helpful. * Access to a computer and internet. At least one iPad or iPhone for playing mobile games. You have the ability to work in google documents, google sheets, and powerpoint/keynote **Hiring Process:**\ We hire using tests only so that we ensure—as best we can—that we hire on pure abilities. There are usually three-four tests and the process takes less than two weeks. After the tests, we typically hire 2-3 people to start working on actual projects to see how you do on our team. From there, we will select at least 1 person. We use Google Forms to track candidates, so do not be surprised if you see a response to fill out a form. The tests are similar to what you would be doing during your work with us—so it's a good opportunity for you to see what you'd be doing. Once hired, you will still be in a “hiring period” for several weeks as we further evaluate your abilities within our team. **General Information:**\ This is a contract position that pays $30 per hour. The hours will start 10-20 per week as we get acquainted with your work, and will ramp to 20-35 as you prove yourself. ### How To Apply: * Fill out the Application form [here](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdbiIvuMdn6JI7kyyO5E0AcWh7tNUvu0chMeirDELMAfWxO7w/viewform) * We will respond to you within a week --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
