• Feedback Loop: Ensure Chinese player feedback and sentiment are gathered, analyzed, and integrated into product and content planning processes in Helsinki.
• Performance Reporting: Drive the weekly, monthly, and quarterly China business review processes, providing clear visibility on KPIs, trends, and areas for optimization.
