• Design, deploy and evaluate A/B and multivariate experiments, translating results into clear recommendations and next actions

• Stay current with evolving search behaviors, including LLM-driven discovery, and propose new adaptations to the optimization strategy

Performance & Reporting

• In partnership with the Marketing Operations Performance team, define and track the KPIs that connect website performance to pipeline contribution, reporting regularly to the Senior Director
• Contribute to building a culture of evidence-based decision-making, using quantitative and qualitative data to prioritize and justify activity
• Monitor page-level performance trends and proactively surface risks and opportunities

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Partner with UX, Development, Growth Marketing and Brand Marketing teams to translate data-driven insights into clearly scoped, actionable briefs - consulting on priorities and next steps, then driving delivery through to completion
• Work closely with the Digital Marketing Director to ensure that experimentation proposals and website updates adhere to brand guidelines and are compatible with current systems and tooling before progressing to delivery

• A clear understanding of how website performance connects to business outcomes, with the ability to prioritize work that moves the metrics that matter
• Able to present findings and proposals clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, and to build buy-in across teams without direct authority
• Skilled at managing a roadmap of concurrent initiatives, balancing speed with rigor and keeping multiple partners aligned
