Bridge UXR and Product Analyst teams to recommend and report on daily/weekly/monthly UX metrics and product metrics for Okcoin and competitors such as ‘time to complete tasks’ (onboarding, first purchase, etc.), avg time spent in app, download rate, DAU, revenue, churn rate, SUS scores, etc. as well as conducting persona/segment-level reporting and analysis
