LTV Optimisation Planning Lead

PlayStation isn’t just the Best Place to Play — it’s also the Best Place to Work. Today, we’re recognised as a global leader in entertainment producing The PlayStation family of products and services including PlayStation5, PlayStation4, PlayStationVR, PlayStationPlus, acclaimed PlayStation software titles from PlayStation Studios, and more.

PlayStation also strives to create an inclusive environment that empowers employees and embraces diversity. We welcome and encourage everyone who has a passion and curiosity for innovation, technology, and play to explore our open positions and join our growing global team.

At PlayStation, our performance and success are rooted in delivering exceptional service and content to our players. We're on a mission to elevate how we make decisions — faster, smarter, and more player-centric. We believe the key to scaling our impact lies in turning data into actionable insight and driving automation through an experimentation-led attitude. This approach allows us to deliver sustainable commercial growth while increasing the lifetime value of every player in the PlayStation ecosystem.

Although we’re part of one of the world’s largest gaming companies, our teams operate with the agility of a startup — highly collaborative, fast-moving, and always innovating. It’s the perfect environment for someone who thrives on driving strategic growth across a complex matrix of teams and initiatives — a true opportunity for an ambitious, data-driven problem solver to make a tangible impact.

As the LTV Optimisation Planning Lead, you will be at the heart of our efforts to drive player-focused experimentation and strategic learning to increase lifetime value across the PlayStation ecosystem. Sitting within the PS Store team and part of the wider Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) organisation, you’ll focus on understanding player behaviours, uncovering growth opportunities, and applying key insights across both marketing and store experience layers. You’ll work with the Manager of the LTV Optimisation team, based in our London office, and play a pivotal role in shaping how we build deeper, longer-lasting relationships with our players.
