• Design, measure, and recommend A/B tests and multivariate experiments, including layout optimisation, UI/UX efficacy, algorithm effectiveness, and API performance.
• Analyse clickstream and transactional data to uncover insights on user behaviour and drive product metrics. You will manage instrumentation for all feature releases within assigned tech families within the bank.
• Develop self-serve solutions for stakeholders that are scalable and automated to handle a product environment.
• Drive plans involving Large Language Models or Generative Artificial Intelligence.

• Skilled in data visualisation platforms like Tableau or HTML to present findings.
• Strong experience in translating data insights into relevant recommendations for non-technical and senior team members.
