Job Description

• Develop and own the holistic CRO roadmap for both Paid Landing Pages (PLPs) and Organic website pathways. Your primary goal is to increase the yield (Session-to-Lead) from our acquisition traffic. • Establish and govern the testing prioritization framework (e.g., PIE/RICE) to ensure resources are focused on high-impact, high-confidence experiments that drive measurable revenue growth. • Partner with Martech to assess and optimize the experimentation stack (e.g., Optimizely, GA4), ensuring we have the technical capability to deploy complex personalization and multivariate tests at scale. • Partner closely with the Director of Marketing Strategy & Analysis to validate that testing priorities address the highest-value business risks. • Collaborate deeply with Paid Media leadership to ensure landing page strategies align with media buying objectives. • Act as the strategic bridge between Marketing and Product. • Directly manage the CRO Strategy Leads (Sr. Managers) and Web Production/Ops team. • Oversee the velocity and quality of the testing pipeline. • Accountable for key top-of-funnel conversion metrics (Session-to-Lead, Lead-to-Enroll).

Job Requirements

  • 7+ years of experience in CRO, Digital Marketing, or Product Growth, with a specific focus on acquisition and landing page optimization.
  • 3+ years of experience managing teams and influencing cross-functional stakeholders in a matrixed environment.
  • Deep mastery of A/B testing methodologies, multivariate testing, and personalization strategies. Proven track record of driving statistically significant revenue lift from paid and organic traffic.
  • Strong ability to interpret data from platforms like GA4, Tableau, and Optimizely to drive strategy.
  • Ability to balance immediate 'quick wins' (e.g., copy testing) with long-term structural optimization strategies (e.g., page architecture).
  • Expert-level ability to interpret statistical data, identify trends, and make evidence-based decisions.

Benefits

  • Medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • Life insurance, disability, and 401(k) employer match
