Product Analyst

Wand makes gaming magical. Through game customization and guidance, we build tools that helps players have more fun in their favorite games. Our platform works across thousands of PC games, ensuring that great games are accessible to everyone, regardless of time constraints, skill level, or accessibility needs. We want to build the future of game assistance, and we're hoping you'll join us. About The Role Wand is seeking a Product Analyst to own the metrics that matter most and chase down the questions nobody else has time for. You'll partner with Product, Growth, Marketing, and Finance — not as a service desk, but as a peer who pushes back when the question being asked isn't the right one. You'll set the analytical bar, define the metrics frameworks the rest of the team relies on, and run the experiments that decide what ships. Data engineering owns the pipelines; you'll focus on the analysis, the recommendation, and the decision that follows. What You'll Do The metrics that decide what ships. You'll define what Product, Growth, Marketing, and Finance measure — and, more importantly, what each metric is there to help decide. You'll notice when we're tracking the wrong thing, and adjust the framework as the business evolves. You'll build in Hex, document in our spec, and enforce consistent definitions across teams. Deep investigation. When retention dips or a funnel leaks, you won't stop at the symptom. You'll follow the thread — through cohorts, segments, the quirks of specific games — until you can name the cause and recommend a fix. You'll notice when a chart doesn't look right and you won't leave it alone. Experimentation. You'll design and analyze A/B tests on product changes, pricing, onboarding, and growth initiatives. You'll set sample sizes, call stat sig, and write the readouts. When a result is noisy or a test is underpowered, you'll say so — even when the PM is ready to ship. Strategic partnership. You'll work directly with our leaders on the questions that don't have obvious answers. What are players actually doing in Game Guide? Which customizations predict long-term retention? Why does Wand Pro convert better in some game categories than others? You'll frame the question, run the analysis, and deliver the recommendation. What you'll be measured on The decisions you unblocked. The metrics you improved. The bad ideas you killed before they shipped. The questions you answered before anyone thought to ask them. Who You Are Core requirements: 5+ years as a Product Analyst on a consumer software or gaming team.
