Business Performance Director

Founded in 1999, WorldWinner develops and operates competitive games of skill with real cash prizes under the WorldWinner consumer brand and in partnership with leading Sports Gaming Entertainment company FanDuel under the FanDuel Faceoff name. 

WorldWinner is the most recognized and trusted skill games technology platform and brand for players who want to Play to Win. We bring games to the world that inspire people to play for more. With over 20 challenging games where the outcome is dependent on player skills versus chance across a content library spanning classic card games to casual favorites to retro arcade games, WorldWinner has something for every gamer. Backed by Platinum Equity and strategic investors, we are looking for new team members in various disciplines to help us build a world-class gaming platform on mobile and beyond!

We are seeking a highly strategic and results-driven Director of Business Performance to lead our analytics, data science, and business intelligence teams and serve as the company’s single source of truth for all business and product performance insights.

This role requires deep hands-on experience in gaming, ideally within real-money, skill-based, mobile products operating at scale. The Director of Business Performance will own performance tracking across growth, engagement, monetization, and retention — identifying underlying product issues, uncovering growth opportunities, and converting insights into prioritized action plans that drive measurable results.

Working closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and Marketing leadership, and reporting to the CEO, this role will embed data into the product development lifecycle - shaping feature discovery, designing experimentation frameworks, developing testing plans, and validating results to inform ongoing product iteration and optimization.

The Ideal Candidate Will Have

• Experienced analytics leader with a strong background in the gaming industry (mobile gaming, real-money gaming, skill gaming, social casino, or live-service products).
• Product-minded strategist who understands how player behavior, game mechanics, engagement loops, and monetization systems interact.
• Deep expertise in experimentation design, statistical analysis, and performance measurement.
• Executive-level communicator who can translate complex data into clear business narratives and decisions.
• Collaborative cross-functional partner with influence across Product, Design, Engineering, Marketing, and Commercial teams.
• Proven builder of high-performing analytics and data science organizations within growth-oriented product teams.
• Ownership-driven leader focused on business outcomes, not just reporting.

Job Responsibilities

• Lead the Business Performance organization across Data Science, Analytics, and Business Intelligence.
• Own company-wide performance measurement and act as the single source of truth for all KPI reporting.
• Define, maintain, and evolve dashboards and performance frameworks covering growth, engagement, retention, and monetization.
• Conduct root-cause analyses on product performance and business trends and translate insights into actionable improvement plans.
• Partner directly with Product teams throughout the feature lifecycle:
  • Participate in discovery and hypothesis definition
  • Define success metrics and evaluation criteria
  • Design and oversee testing and experimentation programs
  • Validate results and recommend next actions
• Establish governance standards for experimentation methodology, statistical rigor, and learning documentation.
• Present insights and recommendations to executive leadership and help shape strategic roadmap prioritization.
• Build scalable analytics workflows and infrastructure supporting real-time performance tracking.
• Recruit, mentor, and develop analytics and data science talent.

JOB REQUIREMENTS

Required

• 8+ years of experience in the gaming industry, including mobile gaming, real-money gaming, skill gaming, or live-service products.
• 3+ years of people leadership managing analytics, BI, or data science teams.
• Direct experience partnering with Product and Engineering organizations.
• Demonstrated expertise owning experimentation frameworks (A/B testing, cohort analysis, statistical modeling).
• Advanced proficiency in SQL and experience with BI platforms (e.g., Looker, Tableau, PowerBI).
• Proven ability to translate complex performance data into business decisions.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for executive presentation.

Preferred

• Experience within regulated or real-money gaming environments.
• Multi-product or portfolio performance ownership experience.
• Background supporting live-ops optimization and player lifecycle management systems.

BENEFITS INFORMATION:

• Exciting, creative, and fun industry where you can really make a difference
