• Partner closely with engineering and stakeholders to prioritize high-impact opportunities that improve customer experience and commercial performance.

• Stay current on B2B eCommerce, customer behavior, conversion optimization, and product design best practices.

• 5+ years of experience designing product experiences for B2B eCommerce, high-ticket eCommerce, or large-scale catalog websites.
• Demonstrated success increasing conversion rate, revenue, average order value, lead quality, or other commercial KPIs through product design and experimentation.
