About

🎯 Lead User Researcher | Driving product clarity and adoption through actionable insights I am a user researcher passionate about simplifying complex problems and driving strategic product decisions with clear, evidence-based insights. Over the last 6 years, I have partnered with cross-functional teams including PMs, designers, engineers, and executives to shape enterprise and consumer products that users love. Whether through deep-dive interviews, rapid usability tests, or blending product telemetry with customer feedback, I apply a toolkit of qualitative and quantitative methods to uncover what truly matters to users and translate those insights into business impact. Highlights of my journey: - Zenoti (Enterprise SaaS): Led MedSpa workflow pivots that saved 150+ hours. Built research operations for fast user access. Socialised ways on tapping into existing knowledgefor data-informed decisions using AI-powered tools. - Citrix (Cloud Software Group): Drove insights for multi-platform experiences. Designed NPS, SUS, and CSAT frameworks for continuous product evaluation. Led workshops with global partners. - Atlassian (Jira Service Management): Conducted organization-wide studies influencing acquisition growth. Embedded insights to shape product features and stakeholder advocacy. - Turian Labs and Dragonfly: Delivered over 40 research projects across fintech, media, and telecom. Built versatility across industries. What excites me most is de-risking assumptions, accelerating decision-making, and creating meaningful user outcomes at scale. 💡 Core strengths Generative and evaluative research | Product telemetry analysis | Research operations | Insights-led strategy | Stakeholder facilitation | SaaS and Enterprise UX | Rapid iterative testing 📬 Let’s connect if you want to discuss: - Embedding research rigor into fast-moving teams - Leveraging data and empathy for smarter product decisions - Mentorship, collaboration, or conversations about UX 👉 akashpramanick96@gmail.com | LinkedIn.com/in/akash-pramanick
