  • Strong communication and storytelling skills; able to build buy-in and alignment across teams
  • Experience using usability testing platforms like Lyssna or UserTesting
  • Strong understanding of web analytics and KPIs, with the ability to interpret user behavior data to identify friction points, spark curiosity around why trends are occurring, and generate hypotheses for A/B tests or UX improvements to drive desired outcomes

Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Experience working in a CMS platform like Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) or EDS
  • Exposure to A/B testing tools like Adobe Target or VWO
  • Familiarity with analytics tools such as Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics
  • Knowledge of responsive design patterns and web accessibility best practices
