Web Optimization Manager/Strategist
The Website Optimization Manager plays a critical role in managing the website and landing pages for lead generation and product sales. The position reports to the Director of Marketing and will involve collaboration with all departments at LinkedSelling as well as external partner resources.
As our Web Optimization Manager / Strategist, you will “own” the public facing website(s) and lead generation landing pages for LinkedSelling. You are an expert at creating A/B tests – including the planning documents detailing how the user flows through the funnel – and you understand that your decisions will be driven by the data, not the latest shiny object in Website design or user experience.
The ideal applicant is an analytical genius, a strategic thinker and a methodical marketer who understands the fundamental elements that build website traffic and converts those visitors into qualified leads. Strong candidates will also know what CRO means (perhaps you’ve had the title “CRO manager” for an advertising agency?); and will embrace methodologies that constantly improve lead conversions.
This position requires a high-energy, self-motivated individual that thrives in a fast paced environment. It is ideal for someone who is eager to make an impact and who possesses the talent and ability to get measurable results in a short amount of time. You must be thoughtful about the customer journey and understand the value our products and services bring to their bottom line. You have spent some time generating leads for a business-to-business marketing team either as a consultant or on the team.
