A place where creativity thrives, new perspectives are invited, and ideas matter. A team where everyone makes play happen.

At Electronic Arts, we inspire the world to play. We create incredible experiences for players everywhere, and their experiences shape everything we do.

With over two decades of uncompromising FPS gameplay, 100 million players, more than 5 billion hours played, Battlefield is entering its next chapter. United under Battlefield Studios, four world-class teams (Criterion, DICE, Motive, and Ripple Effect) are building the future of the franchise: a connected Battlefield universe grounded in the series’ unique DNA.

• Partner closely with development leadership, product management, design, analytics, and publishing teams to embed player insights throughout the full development and live lifecycle.
• Advocate for scalable, repeatable research practices that elevate how Battlefield teams understand and engage with players over time.

• 7+ years of experience in the gaming industry, with a strong track record leading player/user research teams.
