You will join the studio’s User Research team, supporting all productions by delivering reliable, actionable player insights directly useful to development teams.

- Collect both qualitative and quantitative data during sessions (observations, interviews, questionnaires, etc.).
- Analyze results and produce clear, actionable and impactful deliverables, helping improve design, usability, comprehension, and overall game experience.
Tools & Documentation
- Contribute to the evolution of the lab, tools, processes, and UR methodologies.
- Maintain documentation (protocols, methodological guidelines, deliverable templates…).
- Ensure high-quality data management and structure user information in our databases.
- Use department tools (Qualtrics, MainManager, Jira, Miro, Office Suite, database management tools, OBS – configuration).
Collaboration & Communication
- Work closely with game design, UX, production, and creative direction teams.
- Participate in production rituals (sprints, retrospectives) when required.
- Present results clearly and pedagogically, with a strong focus on actionable recommendations.
- Communicate continuously about analysis progress, identified risks, and recommendations.
Ownership & Impact
- Act as User Research point of contact on selected projects, depending on experience level.
- Play the game regularly and build a deep understanding of design intentions.
- Assess the gap between intentions and actual player experience, and explain its causes.
- Provide thoughtful, neutral, and constructive improvement suggestions.
- Contribute to strengthening the visibility and growth of the User Research team (internally & externally)
