Senior Optimization Manager

What we're looking for
We’re looking for someone who gets excited about selling products on the internet. Our goal is to help our clients make more through their eCommerce store and you like figuring out all the ways to do that. You recognize how a website’s design can influence desired actions. You like landing pages. You think deeply about product offerings. You understand the power of copy.  But most of all, you get excited when a company starts making more $$$.

We're looking for a leader.

We’d love someone with DTC marketing experience, marketing agency, eCommerce agency, or similar background preferred.

You (hopefully)

Hard skills.

You have strong opinions on the theory and process behind problem identification and solution design. You feel comfortable poking holes in a design that may look great but fails to bust objections to purchase. You continually ask why. You feel comfortable using data to develop hypotheses. You have experience crafting strategies supported by data for eCommerce brands.

Soft skills.

You enjoy communicating with clients. You recognize that every interaction is a chance to demonstrate that you genuinely care about their business. You understand that their success is our success. You understand how to define such success and communicate that to clients. You enjoy the prospect of managing a global team and defining processes.
