The Problem

Product-led companies are hiring analysts, product ops, and data scientists to understand user journeys, funnel drop-off, engagement patterns, and revenue impact. The pain is not just reporting; teams need someone to connect behavioral data, qualitative feedback, and experiment design into actionable product changes. Many companies have event data and BI tools but lack a clean, repeatable operating workflow for identifying and fixing journey friction.

Potential Solution

Offer a fixed-scope managed service that audits one critical buyer or user journey, builds a reporting-grade funnel model, identifies friction points, and validates the likely causes through session review, feedback analysis, or lightweight user research. Deliver a prioritized friction backlog, metric definitions, dashboard layer, and experiment briefs that product pods can execute. Over time, productize the repeatable parts into templates, dbt models, instrumentation checklists, and managed monthly journey reviews.

Why Now?

Companies are under pressure to improve activation, retention, and revenue without simply adding more features. The job signals show this capability being hired across travel, payments, AI, developer tools, marketplaces, and consumer platforms.
