About the Role

- We are looking for a research-driven and hands-on Product Analyst – Mobile Apps who can identify what we should build, translate research into clear product journeys, and validate whether the final feature delivers the intended customer outcome.

- This role follows an 80/10/10 model :

80% — Competitor, market and product research 10% — UX documentation and wireframing

10% — Product-acceptance testing and validation

- You will follow features across the complete product lifecycle:

Research → Recommend → Document → Wireframe → Test → Validate → Measure 80% — Competitor, Market and Product Research

- Regularly download, use, and analyze competing and best-in-class iOS and Android applications.
- Map complete journeys covering onboarding, discovery, purchase, activation, engagement, retention, upselling, and support.

- Monitor App Store and Play Store trends, ratings, reviews, releases, and customer feedback.
- Use tools such as Sensor Tower, data.ai, Similarweb, AppMagic, or equivalent research platforms.
- Analyze internal mobile funnels, cohorts, conversion rates, retention, and customer drop-off points.
- Use Amplitude, Mixpanel, Firebase Analytics, GA4, CleverTap, or equivalent analytics tools.
- Compare performance across iOS, Android, app versions, products, geographies, and acquisition channels.
- Combine competitor intelligence, customer feedback, support issues, and internal data to identify product opportunities.
- Prioritize opportunities based on customer value, business impact, evidence, complexity, risk, and strategic relevance.
- Present clear recommendations explaining what should be built, why it matters, and how success should be measured.
- Maintain an organized repository of competitor screenshots, journeys, benchmarks, findings, and recommendations.

10% — UX Documentation and Wireframing

- Convert approved opportunities into concise feature briefs.
- Define the problem, target user, supporting evidence, proposed solution, scope, exclusions, business rules, dependencies, risks, and success metrics.

- Produce low- or medium-fidelity mobile wireframes using Figma, FigJam, Balsamiq, Miro, or similar tools.
- Annotate wireframes with user actions, navigation behaviour, validations, system responses, and analytics requirements.
- Write lightweight user stories and clear acceptance criteria.

- Personally test new features on iOS and Android development, staging, beta, and release-candidate builds.
- Perform functional, exploratory, usability, interruption, and end-to-end customer-journey testing.
- Test relevant conditions such as poor connectivity, offline usage, app relaunch, permission changes, GPS inaccuracies, audio interruption, deep links, payment failures, and incomplete downloads.
- Validate that analytics events and properties fire correctly.
- Report defects with clear reproduction steps, expected and actual results, screenshots, recordings, and environment details.
- Classify issues by severity, priority, customer impact, and release risk.
- Retest fixes and perform focused regression around the affected feature.
- Recommend whether a feature is:
- Ready for release
- Ready with accepted limitations
- In need of additional fixes
- Not ready for release
- Monitor feature adoption, customer feedback, conversion, and errors after launch.

The Product Analyst will test with strong QA discipline but will not replace the dedicated QA team. Comprehensive regression, automation, performance, security, and overall release QA remain with the QA function. AI-First Working Style
