Analytics Manager, Commercialization
Atari, Inc.
Remote
About Us
Atari has been one of the few bright spots in a struggling games industry: quietly, but quickly growing year-over-year. The Commercialization team has been part of what made that possible. Now we're looking for someone to help us do even more with our large datasets.
Few roles come with a catalog of hundreds of games, a newly acquired portfolio, and a direct line to decisions that move revenue. This is a high-autonomy role for someone who is energized by ambiguous problems, rigorous by instinct, and excited about using AI to do more with less. You'll sit at the intersection of data analysis, financial modelling, and commercial strategy — working closely with our Business Operations Manager and reporting directly to our Director of Commercialization.
What you'll do
Analytics and insight generation
- Own the analytical engine of our commercialization system: discounting, pricing, regional sales, lifecycle performance, and portfolio analysis across our catalog of hundreds of games
- Design and execute experiments in close partnership with our Business Operations Manager, who owns the discount calendar and discount strategy — you bring the analytical rigour, she owns the process and implementation
- Build and maintain reporting for physical and digital sales across our publishing labels, including our newly acquired Thunderful portfolio
- Take per-game analyses off the Director of Commercialization's plate and execute them consistently and on schedule
Financial modeling and business cases
- Build business cases for commercial decisions including platform deals, pricing changes, bundle strategies, and portfolio opportunities (ports, streaming, cloud gaming, physical partnerships)
- Develop metrics to measure the holistic performance of our commercialization system at every level — game, catalog, and company
AI-assisted tooling
- Inherit and improve AI-powered decision-support tools, including a discount depth recommender and discount scheduler
- Identify and build additional automations that reduce manual analytical work across the team — with the goal of progressively freeing up capacity for higher-order problems
- Serve as a thought partner on how AI tooling can augment work across departments beyond Commercialization
Collaboration
- Work in close partnership with our Business Operations Manager: you own analytical depth, she owns process and execution — the handoff between you should be clean and mutually reinforcing
- Present findings and recommendations to the Director of Commercialization and, where relevant, to executive leadership
What we're looking for
- 3–5 years of relevant experience in analytics, commercial strategy, or a related field; games industry background a plus but not required
- Strong statistical foundations — you know where analyses break down, you hunt for confounded variables and aggregation errors before anyone asks you to, and you can explain your methodology clearly under scrutiny
- Financial modelling skills, including comfort building business cases from first principles
- Demonstrated ability to work with large, messy datasets and produce clean, credible outputs
- Familiarity with AI tools and a genuine interest in building automations that augment analytical work — you don't need to be an engineer, but you should be able to build and iterate on AI-assisted workflows
- High autonomy: you receive a problem, you figure out the approach, and you come back with a proposal. You don't need the solution handed to you
- Intellectual honesty — you'd rather tell someone their hypothesis is wrong than confirm it with a flawed analysis
Bonus points
- Experience with Steam, Nintendo, Sony, or other gaming platform back-ends
- A genuine passion for games
