As UI/UX Analyst, you'll diagnose friction, design better user experiences, and validate improvements through data.
You're not a pure designer. You're not a pure analyst. You're the bridge - using session recordings, heatmaps, and funnel data to identify why customers drop off, and designing solutions to test.
Key Responsibilities
- Session recording analysis - watch session recordings 2-3x/week to spot friction and user behavior patterns
- UX friction diagnosis - combine session data, heatmaps, and GA4 to build a prioritized list of improvements
- A/B test variant design - sketch solutions in Figma based on your findings; collaborate with the product and design teams on testing strategy
- Design system maintenance - collaborate with the design strategy team to document components and ensure consistency across the website
- Insight reporting - weekly conversion updates to the team; monthly deep dives on major findings
- Tool evaluation - research and recommend new UX testing tools (UserTesting, Maze, etc.) as you identify gaps in our workflow
You'll collaborate closely with the product and engineering teams to drive user-centric improvements across the platform.
Technical Capabilities Required
Design Tools & Prototyping:
- Ability to create A/B test variants quickly and hand off clean specs to engineering
- Understanding of mobile-first design
Analytics & Data Tools (good to have):
- GA4 - funnel visualization, event tracking, custom reports (not deep SQL, but comfortable navigating the tool)
- Session recording tools - session recording, heatmaps, and user behavior identification
- Ability to interpret data and translate findings into design improvements
- Basic statistical thinking (correlation vs. causation, sample size matters)
Platform & E-Commerce Context:
- Familiarity of e-commerce platforms - enough to know what's possible and what's a technical constraint
- You're encouraged to research and recommend new tools that fit your workflow - UserTesting, Maze, Hotjar, Pendo, etc.
- You should stay current on UX testing and session recording tools
Functional Capabilities Required:
- Understand micro-interactions that drive decision-making (button color, copy, social proof, urgency)
- Know how to reduce friction (form fields, payment options, trust signals)
- Apply JTBD (Jobs to Be Done) thinking - what job is the customer hiring this product for?
UX Research & Data Literacy:
- Can read a session recording and identify 3-5 UX issues
- Can spot patterns in heatmap data (click clusters, scroll depth, attention areas)
- Comfortable asking "why" - always validate assumptions with data before designing
A/B Testing & Iteration:
- Design test variants based on hypothesis, not guesswork
- Understand statistical rigor (sample size, test duration, confidence levels)
- Iterate based on results - learn from losses, compound wins
- Sketch ideas quickly in Figma and get feedback early
- Present findings to product and design teams in a structured way
- Comfortable with ambiguity - you'll be expected to own problems, not just execute specs
Required Skills & Experience:
- 2-3 years of UX/UI design or product analytics experience (agency, SaaS, e-commerce, or D2C preferred)
- Figma expertise - can create designs, components, and interactive prototypes; not a designer by training, but by fluency
- Conversion psychology - understand how small UX changes impact user behavior
- Data literacy - comfortable with GA4 funnels, segment analysis, and session recording tools
- Mobile-first thinking - design for phones first, then desktop
- India D2C context - nice-to-have but not mandatory. Understanding of Indian customer behavior, payment methods, and logistics is valuable
- Written communication - can document findings clearly and present to non-designers
