Gaming & Analytics Performance Analyst Grover Gaming — a Light & Wonder company

Join one of the fastest-growing companies in gaming. Grover Gaming, a Light & Wonder company, designs and delivers world-class charitable and electronic gaming products that create exceptional player experiences and drive innovation across the venues we serve. As we continue to grow at a record pace, we are focused on attracting exceptional talent, empowering our people to build fulfilling careers, and shipping products that are second to none for our customers.

The Gaming & Analytics Performance Manager plays a central role in analyzing game performance across multiple dimensions — game type, category, state, venue, day, and device. The role calls for a strong analytical understanding of consumer behavior, particularly in casino- and slot-style environments. You will own a comprehensive quarterly analysis of gameplay, identifying trends and player behavior and recommending where to improve. We are an AI-forward team, and you will be encouraged to use AI as a force multiplier — to explore data faster, prototype tooling, and sharpen your analysis.

• Analyze game performance in depth across parameters such as game type, category, state, venue, day, device, and player demographics.
• Publish quarterly reports detailing gameplay analysis, trends, and insights that guide product improvements and strategic decisions.
• Partner with Account Management and Account Executive teams to assess site-level performance and identify the factors contributing to success.
• Visualize and present findings using tools such as Tableau and Power BI, communicating complex insights clearly to leadership and field teams.
• Identify player-behavior trends to inform product development and marketing strategies.
• Proactively recommend improvements grounded in data-driven insight to enhance player engagement and revenue.
• Juggle multiple projects at once, moving between shifting priorities and parallel workstreams without dropping the ball.

• Strong understanding of consumer behavior in gaming environments, with a feel for what drives play.
• Proficiency with analytical and BI tools such as Tableau and Power BI; SQL and/or Python are a strong plus.
• Excellent presentation and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex data into clear, actionable takeaways.
• Genuine curiosity — a habit of asking questions, digging into the “why,” and testing assumptions rather than guessing.
• Comfort with ambiguity and partial data; able to make defensible calls with what is available and refine as more arrives.
• Self-starter with a proactive approach to problem-solving and a passion for data-driven decision-making.
• Enthusiasm for working alongside AI to explore data, prototype, and build better tooling.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Data Analytics, or a related field; an advanced degree is preferred.
• 3–4 years of experience in data analysis, preferably within the gaming or casino industry.
• Track record of turning data into insights that informed real decisions.

• Experience in the casino or gaming industry.
• Familiarity with statistical or forecasting methods (regression, time series, clustering).
• Exposure to data engineering, table design, or data modeling.
• Comfort working with messy, semi-structured, real-world operational data.

Be part of a rapidly growing company in the gaming industry. Work alongside a talented team and contribute to innovative products, with a direct line to leadership. Real influence: analysis that ships and gets used to shape what we build next. Competitive salary and benefits package.
