• Partner closely with engineering and stakeholders to prioritize high-impact opportunities that improve customer experience and commercial performance.
• Maintain a consistent, professional, and trustworthy customer experience across a large product catalog.

• 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.

• Advanced proficiency with Figma and experience creating developer-ready product designs and design systems.
• Hands-on experience with Google Analytics (GA4), Microsoft Clarity, Hotjar, FullStory, or similar behavioral analytics platforms.
• Experience designing and evaluating A/B tests and making product decisions based on quantitative data.
• Strong understanding of customer psychology, purchasing behavior, usability principles, and conversion optimization.
