I carry out research and insight and present analysis before making recommendations to the wider business and driving forward projects that lead to continuous improvement on core metrics for clients. Working in an agile environment I write development tickets for new features and improvements for existing ones. Working with graphic designers I am responsible for website design and layout to ensure that websites look great but more importantly convert traffic into sales. I take product data from a variety of other systems and transform and enhance it to allow users to search and filter for exactly what they're looking for in ways that make sense without being overwhelming.
