Is Product Analytics the new Digital Analytics? | Harnham Recruitment post
+
Following on from our exploration of what Digital Analytics is, and the exploration specifically of hiring Digital Insights Analysts in the North of England and Midlands, we wanted to take a look at Product Analytics, and how it differs from the standard Digital Analyst role.To help investigate the importance of Product Analytics in the current market, we have interviewed Nicky Tran, a Product Analyst at Virgin Media (Manchester).What Is A Product Analyst?In simple terms, a Product Analyst ‘’looks at the different products a company has, and then you are identifying which areas of the product can be improved or which areas can be optimised.” While Digital Analytics can inform the product lifecycle, the interesting aspect to this role is, that unlike a traditional Web Analyst role, it is more of a hybrid role. Nicky emphasised that it is ‘’an upcoming sector within the analytics community’’, providing an overlap between Digital Analytics, Customer Analytics and Data Science.The key skills and tools for this role are advanced SQL, Google Analytics, and AB testing. So how does this skillset differ from a traditional Web Analyst? Nicky suggests that while the core requirements are that of a Web Analyst, with a web role you would essentially just be using Google Analytics Data. However, as a Product Analyst, you would be using advanced SQL to access other data bases, and pull data from models, and therefore, “you are combining two sets of data to get a more insightful look”.Why Is Product Analytics Important, And Why Are They Now Becoming More Prominent On The Market?Similar to Digital Analytics roles, it is clear that with the impending digital transformation, companies are becoming increasingly data-led, especially with regards to their digital platforms (and products).As a result of the pandemic, the digital space is so much more important than ever before. Therefore, to stay competitive, and to really understand the products from the consumer perspective, companies have to provide the most personalised customer experiences to acquire and retain their consumers. As Nicky mentions, ‘It is definitely worth making an ‘inventory’ to see how to promote what you have – it is about personalising the customer journey’.What are employers looking for in a Product Analytics candidate?Product Analytics are great due to their hybridity. In the current market, where there are numerous jobs, and few candidates, a Product Analyst (technically strong in three areas) is a highly sought-after rarity.Businesses are becoming increasingly invested in Product Analytics and having a Product team that works alongside the Digital team can be beneficial; especially when companies need to stay competitive.What are Candidates looking for? Understanding the differences between a Digital Analyst, and a Product Analyst is key to understanding what a candidate is looking for. Nicky suggested that this Product Analyst role enabled her to be the ‘bridge’ between areas.So how does the future of a Product Analyst differ to that of the route of a Digital Analyst? For Nicky, this is one of the most important factors to being a Digital Analyst, as she has the option to go down the Data Science route in the future should she wish. The more technical skills she has as a Product Analyst means she is building up experience across different areas of Data & Analytics, giving her a slightly different career path, should she want to go down a more technical route.Why Choose A Product Analyst Role?“If you come from a technical background – maths, physics, computer science – and are interested in how the numbers are crunching, it is worth going into Product Analytics, as it needs a logical mathematics brain, to be able to convert it into a way which is useful to stakeholders.”From speaking to Nicky, it is clear that Product Analytics is an up-and-coming role that people don’t know enough about it. Therefore, if you are curious about Product Analytics, or any of the different roles the market has to offer at the moment, as an employer looking for help hiring, or a candidate actively or passively looking for work, Harnham can help.

What is Product Analytics?

What is product analytics?
Knowing how well, or not, your customers or service users interact and engage with a product is integral to the success of your business.
Whether it’s a bed from a furniture store or a button on a website, having the insight to understand how easy it is to use or how desirable it is amongst your customer base, then enables teams to go back, tweak the product and optimise it to its full potential.
This is where product analytics comes into its own. Those working within the field – product analysts – are integral in increasing conversion rates – whether that’s purchase rates or how user-friendly a product is – using a mixture of digital customer analytics and data science. From the NHS to Ikea, product analysts are highly sought after in nearly every industry as they strive to make their services and products the best they can possibly be.
What happens if work needs to be done on a product?
Initially, product analysts would undertake testing, such as AB testing, to decipher if there is a more favourable way of presenting the product or service to their customer base. They may also look at implementing tools such as personalisation, a newer capability on the market, to target their service to a specific user, making it more relevant and therefore able to boost conversion.
Once the product analysts have gathered any insights on what would optimise the tools, products, and services, these are then taken to stakeholders to kickstart the process of improvement. From here, updates are made by teams such as those in user experience (UX), and the product is re-launched and continually monitored.
The different arms of product analytics
Product Analytics, while seemingly a straightforward division of Data & Analytics, is extremely broad and split up into a multitude of sub-divisions. So, while all teams may be integral in spotting room for optimisation, their exact role will be different to another analyst.
For example, a trend analyst will analyse trends over a specific period, learning about those patterns and then optimising products or services for those times. Tesco, for instance, will be prepared to put the purchase button of turkey, pigs in blankets, and roasting potatoes at the front and centre of its website at Christmas.
Journey analysts however will measure where customers come from to engage with a product or service, be it a banner ad, an email, or a social media post. They’ll also look at where in the customer journey purchasers or users drop off, finding kinks in the service experience that need to be ironed out.
How to get into product analytics
Like the sound of what a product analyst does? Here’s how to work your way into the industry.
Most businesses will aim to hire individuals with an extremely proficient maths or statistics background; business analytics qualifications will also stand you in good stead as will data science. Additionally, you’ll need to showcase a good understanding of SQL – the tool most frequently used within the sector.
Degrees are no longer as important as they once were, especially in the current climate where there are more vacancies than skilled candidates. Many businesses are far more open to hiring potential employees who hold a few crucial skills and then upskilling them as they go, rather than finding the polished product.
However, the division doesn’t usually see graduate-level talent enter, it can take up to 18 months of work until candidates can think about becoming a product analyst. However, once you’re there you can expect a starting salary of £35,000+ and the opportunities to reach up to £120,000 per year.
Product Analytics is a relatively new division within data and analytics, but one that is gaining traction at rapid rates. By 2028, the area is predicted to be worth $16.69bn as it gains popularity across businesses worldwide, helping them to both streamline and optimise their products and services.

How Advanced Analytics and Customer Engagement Create Insight for Your Business | Harnham US Recruitment post
+
Have you ever wondered why your favorite store stopped carrying an item you liked to purchase? Or how you discovered a new item to fit the bill for what you were searching for? Consider counterintuitive holidays where the stores are packed, but the checkout lanes are light with few cashiers. On the flip side, there may be opportunities in stores that have ensured they have plenty of product in stock, have extra staff to help, and through it all have managed to make the experience seamless.This last imagining is what happens when you bring Advanced Analytics into your business to gather insights and create customer engagement for people who will return again and again to your store and to buy your product. This isn’t just for brick-and-mortar stores, this includes digital and e-commerce businesses as well. But the big question here is, how did they know to hire extra staff, make sure there was enough product on hand, and not only retained former customers, but made new customers? The motto ‘know your customers’ holds true, even in, and especially in, today’s world of social media marketing, e-commerce shops, review opportunities, and more. Enter Advanced Analytics. The next step up from the Analytics of Business Intelligence to offer you and your business a birds-eye view of what your customers want, how they want it, and how you can ensure their experience keeps them returning, and opening doors to new customers as well. TRADITIONAL BUSINESS INTELLIGENCE (BI) VS ADVANCED ANALYTICS Business Intelligence gives historical performance Data. What have customers bought or thought in the past. This information has been used to inform how to improve processes now, for the next sale, call, or booking. Advanced Analytics, however, offers not only a system in which to capture historical Data, but can work with more complicated systems, and handle the massive amounts of Data businesses capture every day. Think of Advanced Analytics as the change agent who comes in to solve the more complicated issues. While it may still gather the same information, it will use the information to determine why something is working, and if something isn’t working, what is the root cause of the problem. If customers are returning again and again, what is bringing them back, and how can they repeat it and improve it for the future. Below are three types of analytics each with its own specialty to help you make more informed decisions to move your business forward. 4 BUSINESS OPERATIONS ADVANCED ANALYTICS SHINESGaining clear insights about your business involves more than just the experiences of your customers. The driving force behind happy customers are the operations of your business. From the supply chain to marketing to Human Resources, every department plays a role in the Customer Experience. So, what better way to use Advanced Analytics than to ensure the root of your business is running well which will be key to ensuring that smooth customer experience. · SUPPLY CHAIN ANALYTICS – Market demand is at an all-time high and supply is…well, it’s stuck a bit. But regardless of what’s being moved, where, and how, the remote workforce, globalization, and necessary manufacturing plants to handle the loads are making things more complicated than ever before. Advanced Analytics can help businesses plan for what will be in demand not only using past performance indicators, but also predictive modelling scenarios to try to meet the pain points of supply and logistics.· OPERATIONAL ANALYTICS – Changing market demands, adaptable processes, and flexibility in how operations are executed are all signs Advanced Analytics ha a place at the very heart of your organization. In this scenario, bits of seemingly unconnected Data come together to help imagine process alignment with market demand, and craft better insights for business.· RISK ANALYSIS – Cloud-based tools available to help identify management of massive amounts of Data with predictive insights using Advanced Analytics.· HUMAN RESOURCE ANALYTICS – To find and retain top talent, it’s important to ensure your business knows what they need, why they need it, and who can meet their requirements. Advanced Analytics can offer HR the chance to predict and evaluate how a prospective employee may do in your organization. Ready to take the next step in getting a birds-eye view of your business? Consider Advanced Analytics. Imagine knowing not only the historical Data which has kept your business moving forward, but using the near real-time Data streams from omnichannel sources to help you plan for the future of your business with future-predictive insights.
