• Improve PLP merchandising (filters, badges, sorting logic, quick add, bundle prompts).
• Partner with Marketing and Creative to ensure campaign pages convert — not just present brand messaging.
• Drive AOV growth through structured cross-sell, bundling, and merchandising placement strategy.

Performance & Behavioral Analytics

• Use behavioral analytics platforms (heatmaps, scroll depth, session replay, journey analysis) to identify friction points.
• Translate behavioral data into structured UX improvements.
• Maintain a simple, clear performance scorecard tied to conversion, AOV, bounce rate, and engagement.

Customer Engagement & Content-to-Commerce Leadership

Superior customer engagement is a core mandate of this role. The UX/UI E-Commerce Designer must deeply understand how content influences purchasing behavior and how to curate experiences that guide customers seamlessly from inspiration to transaction.

This role requires strong expertise in content-to-commerce integration, ensuring storytelling, performance messaging, product education, and user-generated content are intentionally structured to drive engagement and conversion.

• Design highly engaging, immersive product journeys that increase time on site and deepen brand connection.
• Curate content modules that blend performance storytelling with commercial clarity.
