Product analyst
Description
A product analyst studies how people use a product to guide decisions about what to build and improve. They analyze usage data and funnels, design and measure experiments and A/B tests, track product metrics, investigate user behavior, and turn findings into recommendations that help product managers decide where to focus.
The role brings data rigor to product development, sitting between analytics and product, requiring SQL, statistics, and product sense. Product analysts work at tech and product-driven companies.
The job suits analytical, curious people who want their analysis to directly shape a product, enjoy digging into how and why users behave as they do, and like turning behavioral data into concrete product direction.
