  • Dashboarding & Visualization: Create and maintain dashboards (using tools like Tableau, Looker, Power BI, or Google Data Studio) to track key CX metrics (e.g., NPS, CSAT, Customer Effort Score, task success rates)
  • Hypothesis Testing: Use data to test assumptions generated from qualitative research. For example, "After our redesign, did the checkout completion rate increase?"
  • Reporting: Assist in preparing regular reports that tell a story with data, highlighting correlations, trends, and potential root causes of CX issues
