• Own retention economics (cohort D14/M1/M3+ curves) and LiveOps ROI & incentive efficacy (CPIN) against the ~$40M incentive pool.

• Own the retention plan and represent finance in the product roadmap for owned titles, ensuring retention-economics input shapes roadmap prioritization rather than just measuring its results.

• Own the payment-funnel conversion partnership with Platform & Key Services (deposits, withdrawals, gateways).

• Shadow virtual-economy and matchmaking policy KPIs with VP Strategy.

• Manage the Product Management business partnership across LiveOps titles.

• Lead and develop the FP&A Analyst - LiveOps: set KPIs, coach, and review performance.

• Flag when this seat's 6-area scope needs a split, using the same review cadence applied to the UA & Cohort Economics seat.

• CPIN fluency - comfortable modeling incentive $ per incremental NGR $ against a randomized holdout, per title and campaign.

• Retention-plan fluency - able to translate cohort retention curves into a documented plan that changes product-roadmap decisions, not just describes them.

• People leadership - coaches and develops a direct report while remaining accountable for their output; not just informal oversight.

• Cross-functional leadership - builds and runs six-plus stakeholder relationships simultaneously without dropping cadence.

• Data-driven decision making - uses CPIN, retention curves, and payment-funnel data to drive incentive-spend and roadmap calls, not just report on them.

• Comfortable operating at Management-track scope: sets targets for a report rather than only executing analysis personally.

• 8+ years of experience in Business finance/FP&A, retention/growth finance, or a related analytical function within a fast-paced technology or consumer-facing environment.

• Demonstrated people-management experience - has managed at least one direct report with documented performance and development ownership, not informal oversight.

• Direct experience with incentive-efficacy or marketing-spend ROI modeling (CPIN-equivalent frameworks), ideally against a randomized holdout methodology.

• Experience co-owning a retention plan or product roadmap input with a Product organization, not just consuming Product's output.

• Proven track record of cross-functional leadership across five or more concurrent stakeholder relationships.

• Gaming, media, or platform-business experience preferred.

• Bachelor's degree; preference for degree in Business, Economics, or a quantitative field.
