Last position:
Principal AI Product Consultant at Recare

Hubertus S.
Last position:
Senior Product Manager AI
Workflow-automation SaaS for operations teams (Berlin, 120 people); full-time freelance engagement reporting to the CEO: an initial 12-month interim mandate, extended twice through the AI build-out; owned product for one squad and coached the other product managers on process.
- Led generative AI (LLM) integration into the core product: from LLM-powered steps to natural-language workflow authoring and step-level automation suggestions, plus AI-managed dynamic workflows, shipped behind eval gates with human-in-the-loop fallbacks: AI-drafted workflows grew to 31% of all new workflows, and median time-to-first-workflow fell from 3 days to 4 hours.
- Packaged the AI capabilities as a usage-based add-on priced on executed automation steps, working with sales and marketing on positioning: ~€800K added ARR in the first year, and adopting accounts churned 1.8 pp less.
- Owned the roadmap end to end: replaced feature-request-driven quarterly planning with an outcome-based rolling roadmap built on quarterly bets and explicit kill criteria, presented monthly to the executive team and quarterly to the board.
- Rebuilt the product-management operating system: weekly customer-discovery cadence incl. workshop facilitation, RFC/decision-doc reviews and a single quarterly metrics narrative; coached four product managers, one promoted to senior during the engagement.
- Closed the engagement as scoped: hired and onboarded the permanent VP Product, handed over the process playbook and roadmap, and exited on schedule in June 2026.

- IMPACT: Shipped v1.3.1 with a live demo; 99% of operations resolve at the free L0 tier (CI-enforced); $0 to run without any API key.

Melika A.
Last position:
UX/UI Designer at Twoloox GmbH
- Sole UX designer on a full product redesign and the foundations of a design system for Widget Designer, a B2B professional desktop tool for real-time media control used in live events and installations, working with a product manager and two engineers.
- Grounded the redesign in user feedback, a product audit, and competitor analysis, which surfaced where the tool's depth had outgrown its usability, leaving expert operators to manage complexity in live moments where errors are immediate and irreversible.
- Restructured the workspace, navigation, and panels around the operator's real workflow, so they keep the full depth of control while gaining the clarity to act with confidence under live pressure.
- Extracted a design system from the redesign: semantic color roles, component states, spacing rules, and reusable dialog and form patterns, with foundational accessibility built into color contrast and state feedback, validated through prototypes against the legacy codebase and giving design and engineering a shared foundation to build from consistently and at speed.

About the technology
What Hotjar does
Hotjar is a product experience analytics suite for understanding how people use websites and digital products. It combines heatmaps, session recordings, surveys and feedback tools so teams can see where visitors engage, hesitate or leave. Companies use these insights to improve navigation, content, forms, onboarding and conversion paths.
Core capabilities
Hotjar specialists configure tracking and turn behavioral signals into practical recommendations. Their work can include:
- Creating heatmaps for clicks, taps, scrolling and movement
- Reviewing session recordings and filtering relevant user behavior
- Building surveys, feedback widgets and interview prompts
- Mapping friction across landing pages, funnels and product flows
They also help teams protect sensitive information through masking, consent-aware setup and careful data handling.
Ecosystem and tooling
Hotjar often sits alongside Google Analytics 4, Google Tag Manager, consent management tools, product analytics suites and experimentation platforms. Strong professionals understand event naming, URL targeting, segmentation, dashboards and research workflows. They can connect quantitative behavior signals with qualitative feedback instead of treating a heatmap as a complete answer.
When companies need expertise
Freelance Hotjar expertise is useful when a team has data but cannot convert it into reliable product decisions. Common triggers include:
- A redesign needs evidence about navigation and page interaction
- Conversion drops need investigation across key journeys
- Product teams need structured feedback from users
- Tracking must be audited, cleaned up or documented
In Germany, specialists may work remotely with distributed teams or join workshops on site when product, marketing and research stakeholders need close collaboration.
What strong professionals deliver
A capable specialist starts with a clear research question and selects the right Hotjar method for it. They define useful segments, remove noise from recordings, document findings and separate observed behavior from assumptions. Their deliverables may include annotated recordings, insight reports, journey findings, survey summaries and prioritized experiment ideas.
Choosing the right specialist
Look for experience with the kind of site or product being studied, not only familiarity with the interface. Ask how the professional handles consent, masking, sampling bias and conflicting signals from analytics or user interviews. For German projects, clarify language expectations, access to local stakeholders and whether the collaboration requires remote delivery, on-site sessions or both.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about Hotjar? Start with the answers below.
Hotjar is used to understand how visitors and users interact with websites and digital products. Heatmaps show interaction patterns, session recordings reveal friction, and surveys or feedback tools capture user opinions. Companies use these findings to improve usability, content, conversion paths and onboarding.
Hotjar focuses on visual and qualitative insight, such as recordings, heatmaps and direct feedback. Google Analytics 4 is stronger for traffic measurement, event reporting and acquisition analysis. Many teams use both: one explains what happened at scale, while the other helps investigate how people experienced the journey.
A strong Hotjar professional usually understands UX research, conversion optimization, analytics tagging and consent-aware tracking. Experience with Google Tag Manager, Google Analytics 4, usability testing or experimentation is valuable. The right combination depends on whether the project centers on marketing pages, ecommerce or a software product.
A small Hotjar setup may suit a professional who can configure tracking, create basic heatmaps and explain findings clearly. More complex work needs experience with segmentation, research design, privacy controls and cross-tool analysis. Judge the requirement by the number of journeys, stakeholders and decisions the insights must support, rather than by a fixed tenure.
Hotjar supports remote analysis because specialists can review recordings, dashboards and feedback asynchronously. Teams in Germany should agree on access rights, documentation standards, meeting times and whether workshops need to happen in German or English. On-site collaboration can still help when several stakeholders must align around research findings.
Ask a Hotjar specialist to explain the question behind each report and how they will avoid overinterpreting a small or biased sample. Good work connects observations to specific user journeys, validates important findings with another source and ends with clear priorities. A polished dashboard alone is not evidence of useful analysis.
Hotjar can support both marketing and product research when its tracking is configured around meaningful flows. It helps teams study landing pages, signup journeys, onboarding, account areas and feature usage. For deeper product analytics or controlled experiments, a specialist may recommend combining it with a dedicated analytics or testing tool.
Working with Hotjar requires more than reading heatmaps. Freelancers need to define research goals, protect personal data, communicate uncertainty and translate behavior into actions that product or marketing teams can test. Familiarity with Contentsquare is also useful because Hotjar is part of the same product experience analytics group, while the Hotjar name remains widely used.
