About the Role

You will be the driving force behind the day-to-day execution of our Rapid Iteration & Optimisation (RIO) framework, translating tactical roadmaps into live, performance-enhancing site updates. You will work with Paid Media, CX, and Development teams to turn real-time trading insights into immediate, measurable business growth for global clients.

Responsibilities

  • Own the hands-on execution and QA of the weekly site optimisation roadmap, ensuring rapid deployment and zero-defect delivery of experiments and content updates.
  • Build, launch, and monitor A/B tests, multivariate tests, and personalisation campaigns designed to boost real-time trading performance and conversion rates (CRO).
  • Collaborate daily with copywriters, designers, developers, and the Paid Media team to coordinate asset production and ensure rapid execution of updates.
  • Monitor live campaign performance in real-time analytics suites to identify performance drops, bugs, or conversion opportunities.
  • Synthesize complex data from test results into actionable recommendations.
  • Help compile weekly performance reports demonstrating trading uplift and ROI.
  • Utilise Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and web analytics tools to build, manage, and optimize dynamic audience segments for targeted messaging.
  • Act as the super-user and administrator for site optimization, analytics, and content management platforms.
  • Ensure tracking codes, analytics tags, and event-tracking parameters are correctly implemented on all optimized pages to safeguard data integrity.

Requirements

  • Execution-focused digital specialist who is highly organized, agile, and obsessed with conversion rate optimization (CRO) and real-time performance.
  • Proven hands-on experience using optimization and A/B testing software (e.g., Optimizely, VWO, Adobe Target, Siteimprove, or similar meta-optimisation tools).
  • Proficient in setting up custom reports, segments, and event tracking in web analytics suites (e.g., Google Analytics 4, Adobe Analytics, Amplitude).
  • Experience editing, publishing, and running personalization initiatives within enterprise CMS platforms (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, or Shopify).
  • Familiarity with how CDPs (e.g., Segment, Tealium) ingest and activate audience data for real-time personalization is highly desirable.
  • Foundational understanding of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript (specifically how they affect browser rendering and A/B test implementation) is a significant plus.
  • A 'rapid delivery' mindset; thrive in fast-paced environments and enjoy seeing work go live to drive immediate commercial impact.
  • Comfort working in agile sprint cycles, managing weekly backlogs, and juggling multiple fast-turnaround tasks simultaneously.
  • Naturally curious and highly analytical; look for the 'why' behind user behavior.
  • Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to bridge the gap between creative, technical, and commercial stakeholders.
