A customer insights analyst resume that only says "did customer research" gets filtered out. The people hiring for this role care about one thing: can you research customers, segment them, surface voice-of-customer insight, and turn it into decisions. The resumes that land interviews talk about research, insight, and decisions — not just "did customer research."
In one line: your resume should answer "what customer research did you run, what insight did you surface, and what decisions did it shape."
"Did customer research" tells a hiring manager nothing:

Customer research, segmentation/analysis, voice of customer, and decisions. Use studies/sample, segments/personas, NPS/satisfaction, and decisions influenced to show what insight you surfaced and what it shaped — not just "did customer research."
Use real numbers: studies and sample sizes, segments/personas built, NPS/satisfaction tracked, and decisions influenced. "Ran research, built segmentation and VoC, shaped decisions" beats "did customer research." Keep the data honest.
A customer insights analyst focuses on existing customers — segmentation, VoC, satisfaction, and decisions across product/CX/marketing. A market researcher focuses on the market — sizing, competition, and category research. One drives decisions from customer insight; the other researches the market. Frame your resume to match the role.
Yes. The strongest customer insight blends qualitative depth (interviews, open-ended feedback) with quantitative scale (surveys, behavioral data). Showing you mixed methods — and turned them into decisions — signals rigor and the ability to both understand and measure customers.
The core of a customer insights analyst resume is showing research, insight, and decisions. Make your research, VoC/segmentation, and decisions clear, keep the data honest, and your resume will compete. When it's ready, run it through Prism Resume's free check: prismresume.com/check.
