Company mission
To further the esports ecosystem by offering players of all levels the chance to compete in a competitive environment with the games they love.
Role
Who you are
- You’ve built data solutions (dashboards, queries, data models) to answer key questions in the business, this is demonstrated by experience in calculating & measuring company KPIs, product funnels, user journeys, acquisition, churn, profitability metrics, and ROIs for multiple business units
- You’re an expert in seeking, defining, and calculating metrics that run a business and making them available to all. Your experience is solidified by your ability to separate between a vanity metric and a KPI
- You’re able to see the patterns and trends in data; you know what story it tells, and how it correlates with the business. These patterns or insights are present regularly at all levels of management to influence decisions
- You think like a product/ business analyst when delivering insights by having a critical view of what a business partner needs to know to make a decision and drive an initiative
- You’re biased to action and understand the need to consistently ship deliverables to stakeholders
- You are an excellent communicator who loves explaining important insights in simple terms. You can synthesize multiple streams of data into actionable communication that will drive C-level decisions
- You’re comfortable helping non-data people interpret data and passing on your skills so they can improve their data literacy
- You know that just because a query is compiled it doesn’t mean it’s done, you understand SQL & data retrieval concepts deeply enough to use query optimization engines to optimize the speed and accuracy of your results
- You’ve deployed and scaled company-wide BI solutions that must consider technical BI concepts such as; dashboard performance, data governance, ETL processing, scalability, and security/access control. Experience in Looker and Tableau is preferred, and Power BI is a nice-to-have
- You’ve deployed multiple centralized data models/ data marts and are familiar with the core concepts of data modeling such as; facts vs dimensions, entities, cardinality, normalization, relationships, Kimball vs. Inmon, and grain. Experience with DBT is preferred
- You’ve regularly practiced concepts of business statistics with a focus on descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, probability distributions, time-series analysis, forecasting, and multivariate analysis. Bayesian and predictive analytics (decision trees and random forests) are nice-to-have
- When we say a “team player” we mean it - you have a crisp high-five and funny stories to tell. You have your team’s back, and the team has yours
- You believe in a blameless culture, your version of problem-solving is finding the root cause, the best solution, and building it as a team
- You love learning new things: You know that there’s always more to learn. You’re up-to-date on new trends in data – you know who’s using what to solve various problems and are excited for the next release of your favorite tool
- You make the time to cheer and enjoy the ride
What the job involves
- Own your domain
- Ask all the whys, relentlessly, until you know the business and analytics needs inside-out and know you’re providing the right solution to our problems
- You understand the unique data ecosystem that comes with every business domain and have opinions on best-in-class tools and practices for each
- Proactively, continuously, think forward, and lead your business partners to the right decisions to meet our wider organization goals
- Excel as a Principal Data Analyst
- Lead the development of data products (dashboards, data models, and analysis) that solve high-impact business problems and drive value
- You understand the dangers of oversimplifying complexity and can masterfully guide others to avoid jumping to conclusions through data
- Connect the dots between the data and the business, generate hypotheses, and test them to create insights that enhance business decisions
- Inspire, teach, and guide your fellow team members. Form best practices and take the time to explain your thought process. When words aren’t effective you change your method of delivery, you know when to draw a picture and when to deliver an infographic
- Serve as the technical analytics expert for the team
- Demonstrate proficiency in designing and implementing dashboards that effectively communicate key metrics and insights to stakeholders
- Provide in-depth peer review of other analyst's code to recommend optimizations that make the best use of your knowledge of SQL functions ranging from Basic (joins, where, having, group by) to Advanced (advanced aggregate functions, window functions, stored procedures, etc)
- Implement best data modeling practices to ensure data accuracy, consistency, and scalability across various business contexts
- Work in an agile software development environment to consistently deliver analytical solutions
- Personify our DNA
- Help inspire, develop, and guide your team members to be the best that they can be. You understand that teaching your team how to fish will help them here and in their careers
- Be the heart-first, people-first team member everyone wants to be around because you have invested in building relationships
Otta's take
Sam Franklin
CEO of Otta
Young people are increasingly turning away from traditional media, and gaming has in recent years become a professional spectator sport that draws huge online crowds. FACEIT is a competitive gaming platform that allows developers to run their own online tournaments, providing ranking charts, skill-based matchmaking and anti-cheat software to ensure that these events are as fair as any traditional sporting competition.
The esports market is projected to be worth about £4.5 billion globally by 2030, and FACEIT has attracted large scale investments as it continues to innovate in this market. Not all of its moves have panned out - for instance its foray into crypto gaming in 2022 could have come at a better time, but its pivot to non-intrusive in-game advertising has been well received by developers and is a testament to the adaptability of the company.
FACEIT is continuing to release and support new gaming products, for instance a car racing tournament released in colloboration with RENNSPORT, where established esports teams and car manufacturers will compete for a prize pool of €500,000. An Overwatch tournament launched in 2024 with a cash prize pool of $170,000. As the esports market shows no sign of slowing down, FACEIT will remain in a strong position to grow alongside it.
