Where a user experience analyst can go next

5 destinations recorded, ranked by how much of the target role a user experience analyst already meets. The closer to the top of Table 1, the less there is to learn.

User experience analysts assess client interaction and experience and analyse users' behaviours, attitudes, and emotions about the usage of a particular product, system or service. They make proposals for the improvement of the interface and usability of products, systems or services. In doing so, they take into consideration the practical, experiential, affective, meaningful and valuable aspects of human–computer interaction and product ownership, as well as the person's perceptions of system aspects such as utility, ease of use and efficiency, and user experience dynamics.

Also known as user experience officer, usability analyst, user experience analysts.
