What is the difference between Heuristic Evaluation vs Usability Analyst?
| Aspect | Heuristic Evaluation | Usability Analyst |
|---|---|---|
| Credentials | Typically no formal certification, but knowledge of usability heuristics required | Often holds degrees in human-computer interaction, psychology, or related fields; may have certifications like IAAP |
| Work Environment | Conducted by usability experts or evaluators, often in labs or remote settings | Works in research, testing labs, or client sites, analyzing user interactions |
| Industry Usage | Common in UX/UI design, product development, and usability testing | Used in UX research, product design, and user experience improvement |
While both roles focus on improving user experience, Heuristic Evaluation involves experts reviewing interfaces against usability principles, whereas a Usability Analyst conducts user testing and gathers user feedback to inform design improvements.

Job description
Senior UX Designer/Researcher
Remote
Core Responsibilities
-
User Experience Research: Design, plan, and execute formal UX research to evaluate complex workflows, ensuring applications are intuitive and efficient for educators and public sector employees.
-
Usability Testing: Moderate hands-on user testing sessions and run usability labs to actively identify and resolve workflow friction.
-
Heuristic Evaluation: Audit early layouts and interfaces against usability best practices and design standards.
-
User Journey & Persona Mapping: Translate complex data reporting and environmental workflows into clear, intuitive user journeys and behavioral personas.
-
Information Architecture: Structure massive, data-heavy reporting categories logically using techniques like card sorting.
-
Accessibility Alignment: Integrate digital accessibility from the ground up, aligning design systems and user research with WCAG standards to ensure digital services are universally accessible to the public.
-
Collaborative Design: Partner with the lead Architect to scale technical UX and research practices across multi-agency initiatives, chatbot interfaces, and enterprise projects.
-
Clear Communication: Collaborate effectively with cross-functional agency teams, product owners, and technical stakeholders to clearly articulate design findings and research data.
Screening Priorities & Primary Focus
-
UX Research: Heat maps (Crazy Egg, Hotjar), card sorting, usability testing, user behavior analysis, and data-driven recommendations.
-
Design & Methodology: User-centered design, user flow creation, wireframes, interactive prototypes, accessibility-first design (WCAG), and design documentation/annotations.
-
Tools: Advanced Figma proficiency.
-
Education & Certifications: Formal UX/HCI education (graduates of dedicated Human-Computer Interaction programs highly desired), Nielsen Norman Group training, or Google UX Certification preferred.
-
Technical Scope: This is a pure UX research and design role. No coding is expected (No .NET, SQL, or front-end development required).
