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 if Science Fiction wasn’t so much fiction as new reality – augmented and virtual? Imagine a 3D world powered by the individual rather than an entity using Blockchain technologies, AR, VR, and AI. Every year there is a new technology, a new .0 to move us to the next level of progress, but usually those moves are focused among the few. Web 3.0 and its capabilities are intended for the many. With every new technology, there is new verbiage, so let’s start there. Enter the Metaverse and see how you and your business can prepare for the future. What is the Metaverse?Whenever you travel somewhere new, you most likely do a little research about the place. Right? Though you’re not really travelling in the traditional sense, this new world is different and yet its purpose is to make the web what it once wanted to be – available and accessible to all. From the video games Dungeons & Dragons to Fortnite to Second Life, each has presented its own version of the metaverse. But now imagine, instead of entering someone else’s world and playing their game, you can create and control your own world from your own computer. Those other worlds existed in Web 2.0. Your world will be powered by Web 3.0. What’s the difference? Below is a short list:Web 2.0 versus Web 3.0Tech giants censor and dominate the market. This is Web 2.0.The servers are owned by these same companies. Yes, even the Cloud. Not quite as decentralized as it sounds. This is Web 2.0.These few companies have the money, the computer power, and your Data. This last is key when it comes to Web 2.0.People have little control over how these companies collect their Data and use it. How much Data do we give away when we sign up for something, buy something, email a message, track our location, or browse for a product? This is Web 2.0 and why we need Web 3.0.Web 3.0 is a decentralized system in which developer tools are created by community.In Web 3.0, there is less censorship and more transparency in how Data is collected and used.In Web 3.0, users own their own Data rather than it being sold, gathered, and collected against their wishes. Think third-party cookieless systems or the lack thereof.Network platforms are public and there is no ownership. Web 3.0 is community-based and individually driven.Though Web 2.0 has been the driving force behind our technological progress, it wasn’t always meant to meant to be this way. Web 3.0 and blockchain technologies are primed to be the next leap in advancement. Why? The future is a privacy-driven world and in this iteration of our web universe, the hackers are winning. So what can companies do to not only prepare for Web 3.0 and what it looks like in the Metaverse, and get started on the right foot, right now? Embrace blockchain technologies. Combined with Web 3.0, it will be part of its underlying structure. And start with keeping your customers’ Data safe. Three Ways to Keep Your Customers’ Data PrivateAudit your privacy best practices regularly.Explain to your customers why you’re collecting their Data and what you’ll use it for.Be transparent with your information.Web 3.0 isn’t here. Yet. It must navigate through our current centralized system in which the few have the most computer power to the future decentralized system in which the internet is free for anyone to participate in, build upon, and generate income without being outmanoeuvred by Big Tech. This is a vision what the future can look like. We can gain a taste of it in Facebook’s Metaverse, when we play video games, or even when we watch a movie like Ready Player One. Imagine a place where networks are decentralized. Where applications are built on blockchain technologies everyone can follow, where people can communicate, collaborate, and connect without interference. This is what Web 3.0 could look like in the metaverse.If you’re interested in Web Analytics, Machine Learning, or AI just to name a few, Harnham may have a role for you.

Keepers of the Data Kingdom: the Analytics Engineer | Harnham US Recruitment post

If it seems the Data world is drilling down further into niche specialities, you’re right. Considering the swathes of information sent and received on a day-by-day, minute-by-minute, and second-by-second basis, is it any wonder? The sheer volume, depending on your business and what you want to know, requires not just a Data team, but must now include someone with a particular skillset, including the tech-savvy analyst who can speak to the executive team.So, who holds it all together? These swathes of information. Who organizes the information in a cohesive order, so anyone with a map, can make their own analyses? Enter the Analytics Engineer.What Makes an Analytics Engineer an Analytics Engineer?Though it’s a rather new speciality within the Data Scientist scope—think Machine Learning Engineer, Software Engineer, Business Analyst, etc—at its core, the definition of an Analytics Engineer is this: “The analytics engineer sits at the intersection of the skill sets of data scientists, analysts, and data engineers. They bring a formal and rigorous software engineering practice to the efforts of analysts and data scientists, and they bring an analytical and business-outcomes mindset to the efforts of data engineering.” Michael Kaminsky, consultant, and former Director of Analytics at Harry’s.In other words, analytics engineers, using best software engineering practices transform data through testing and documentation so that data analysts begin with cleaner data to analyze. As technically savvy as the engineer must be, they must also be able to explain to stakeholders what they’re looking at so they can formulate their own insights. Five Roles and Responsibilities of the Analytics EngineerLike all new niche specialities, there are core responsibilities to consider as well as that of skillsets required to either study to become an Analytics Engineer or to discover if you’re one already. How? Consider the questions you ask, your studies within Data Science, Computer Science, Statistics, and Math, and your balance between technical skills and soft skills. Below are five things to consider when thinking about this role:Programming language experience. Experience with programming languages like R and Python along with strong SQL skills which are at the core of this role. DBT technology knowledge. As the driving force behind the rise of Analytics Engineer as a separate role, it’s imperative anyone interested in pursuing it should have a firm grasp of DBT — the Data Build Tool — that allows the implementation of analytics code using SQL. Data tracking expertise using Git. Data modelling. Clean, tested, and raw data which allow executives and analysts to view their Data, understand it within the database or its warehouse. Data transformation. Analytics Engineers determine what Data is most useful and transform it to ensure it fits related tasks. It’s part of building the foundational layer so businesses can answer their own questions. Key Changes Leading to the Shift in Data RolesWith every technological advancement their comes new players to the field. The difference is here is that the job description already existed. We were only missing a title. But from the traditional Data team to the modern Data team, there are a few key changes that point directly to the rise of this niche field. Cloud warehouses (like Snowflake, Redshift, BigQuery) and the arrival of the DBT the foundational layer which can be built on top of modern data warehouses are the first two that come to mind. Then, the Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) tools like Stitch and Hevo are capable of integrating Data from a variety of sources, and the introduction of tools like Mode and Looker allows anyone interested in drawing insight from Data to do so on their own.Who Needs an Analytics Engineer? Small or Large Businesses?The short answer is it depends. But the general rule follows that while both large and small companies can benefit from having this professional on their staff, there are different things to consider. For example, a small business may be able to find what they need in a single individual. The Analytics Engineer is something of a jack-of-all-trades. Larger businesses, on the other hand, may already have a Data team in place. In this case, an Analytics Engineer adds to your team, something like an additional set of eyes increasing insight drawn from those large swathes of Data we spoke about earlier.So, what’s next for the role of Analytics Engineer? Who knows? The roles of any Data industry professional is constantly evolving.
