About the Role
The VP, Analytics owns Skillz Platform analytics across SDK and Arena, consolidating people currently split across separate reporting lines into a single function accountable for measurement integrity, experiment quality and decision velocity. The function is organizationally independent of every function it scores — including Product, Growth and Strategy.
Responsibilities
Own Skillz Platform analytics across SDK and Arena, leading roughly ten people across four sub-functions with four direct reports.
Establish and govern a single source of truth: the metric dictionary, the Snowflake semantic-layer contract, definitional change control, and reconciliation between the network P&L; and venue scorecards.
Specify and land the lifecycle marker that install-to-second-payment, install-to-reliable and CAC-to-stable all depend on.
Establish holdout-based incrementality as the default standard for campaigns, promos, incentives and channel spend, and refuse reads that do not have one.
Serve as the independent scoring authority for the economy — cash, Z,



Ticketz and matchmaking — against the guardrail bands set by VP Strategy.
Ensure every stage of the profit-driver chain and both product surfaces have a named analytics owner, a live baseline and a defined cadence.
Build and lead the Competitive & Market Intelligence function, giving leadership an external benchmark for every internal target.
Partner as a peer with Product, Growth, Engineering, Data Engineering, Player Trust and FP&A; represent analytics in quarterly planning and the weekly leadership ritual.
Hire, develop and retain the analytics bench; build a leadership layer and remove key-man risk on integrity and reconciliation.
Key Competencies
Measurement rigor under commercial pressure — can hold a defensible number when a senior stakeholder wants a different one, and knows the difference between a directional read and a causal one.
Org design and economic thinking — structures analytics around the business
