• Synthesize user feedback with quantitative testing data to triangulate findings and prioritize tests with the highest potential impact.
• Establish a net-new feedback program roadmap aligned with business priorities and testing program velocity.
• Maintain and improve user research documentation and insights library for reference across optimization initiatives.

UX Data & User Behavior Analysis

• Co-own the heatmapping and session recording platform (HotJar, Quantum Metric, Amplitude) to ensure consistent data flow that aligns with other site data sources.
• Map user journeys for live sites and test experiences to develop a comprehensive understanding of user pathways, pain points, and opportunities in partnership with the Senior Digital Marketing Performance Manager.
• Synthesize heatmap, session recording, and behavioral data into clear narratives for stakeholder presentations; translate findings into testable hypotheses.

Analytics Integration & Data Quality

• Collaborate with the Senior Digital Performance Marketing Manager team to establish seamless data flow from testing platform to GA4, data warehouse, and reporting systems.
• Optimize in-depth tracking and event taxonomy for A/B tests in partnership with the Senior Digital Performance Marketing Manager and/or agency partners to ensure test data is captured, attributed, and reportable across all downstream analytics platforms.
• Troubleshoot testing-related analytics discrepancies and data integrity issues in partnership with Marketing Operations, Development Teams, Web Teams, and other relevant stakeholders.

Stakeholder Communication & Support

• Communicate testing program progress, results, and learnings to stakeholders across the organization in clear, accessible formats on a consistent cadence.
• Support the Senior Manager, Digital Experience & Optimization with testing portfolio analysis, testing opportunity validation, and prioritization recommendations.
• Partner with cross-functional teams (development, content, product) to ensure testing requirements are clearly understood and implemented correctly.
