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.
