CRO Manager

£55,000-£65,000 + Bonus

Remote-first in the UK – 2x days a month in the office

If you’re a strategic CRO professional who enjoys owning the full customer journey, building experimentation roadmaps and turning insight into measurable commercial growth, this could be an excellent opportunity to make a real impact across multiple brands and markets!

The Company

A leading, multi-award-winning travel insurance group is continuing to invest in its digital customer experience and optimisation capabilities. The group operates several well-established travel insurance brands across the UK, Ireland and Australia, with further international expansion planned. Its flagship brand specialises in providing travel insurance for customers who may have more complex requirements, including those with pre-existing medical conditions. With a strong customer-first culture and a reputation as one of the UK’s top insurance companies to work for, the business is now looking to strengthen its CX and CRO capability with a dedicated CRO Manager.

The Role

Reporting directly into the Head of Marketing, you’ll sit within a small team of three and take ownership of the end-to-end digital customer journey across the group’s brands. This is a highly hands-on role, but with a strong strategic element. You’ll be responsible for shaping the optimisation vision, building the roadmap and identifying where experimentation and customer insight can have the greatest commercial impact. You’ll work closely with Development, UX, Pricing and Customer Operations teams to deliver experimentation, personalisation and wider CX initiatives.

Key responsibilities will include:

  • Owning the end-to-end conversion journey, with accountability for conversion, revenue and customer experience
  • Building and delivering a data-led experimentation and CRO roadmap
  • Identifying opportunities to improve conversion, upsell, retention and ancillary product performance
  • Using analytics, customer insight, user testing, session recordings and performance data to identify optimisation opportunities
  • Managing and delivering A/B testing and experimentation, ensuring successful tests are implemented into production
  • Working with technical teams on tracking, experimentation architecture and scalable optimisation capabilities
  • Developing a roadmap around personalisation, experimentation and customer experience
  • Defining CX performance indicators and presenting recommendations and results to senior stakeholders
  • Working across UK and Gibraltar-based teams to deliver CX initiatives
  • Exploring emerging technologies, AI and new approaches to digital optimisation

The business already has a roadmap in place, so you’ll have a strong foundation to build upon while bringing your own strategic thinking and experience to the function.

Your Skills & Experience

  • Strong end-to-end CRO and customer journey optimisation experience
  • A strategic mindset, with the ability to build and own an optimisation roadmap
  • Strong hands-on experience delivering experimentation and A/B testing
  • Experience working across the full testing lifecycle, from identifying opportunities through to implementation and measurement
  • Strong commercial awareness and the ability to connect optimisation activity to revenue and conversion
  • Experience with tools such as AB Tasty, Optimizely, VWO, Google Analytics or similar – the business is tool agnostic
  • A good understanding of front-end implementation, tagging and experimentation architecture
  • Knowledge of UX/UI and personalisation principles
  • Excellent stakeholder management and presentation skills
  • The ability to operate in a fast-paced, hands-on environment

Experience within insurance or financial services would be beneficial but is not essential. Travel, digital-first or agency backgrounds will also be considered. Experience with server-side testing and experimentation is particularly attractive.

The Benefits

  • £55,000-£65,000 salary
  • Bonus

Product Strategy Lead

£70,000-£80,000 + Bonus

London (Hybrid – 2x Days a Week in Office)

The Company

This is an opportunity to join a specialist eCommerce consultancy and digital product agency working with ambitious global brands to create better digital experiences and drive commercial growth! The business sits at the intersection of eCommerce, product, strategy, design, technology and AI, helping brands rethink how they build and operate their digital experiences; rather than relying on traditional all-in-one platforms, they help clients explore more flexible, modular approaches, including headless CMS, composable commerce and modular checkout solutions, giving brands greater flexibility, performance and control. The business is part of a much larger global digital experience group, combining the pace and autonomy of a specialist consultancy with the scale and capabilities of a global organisation.

The Role

As Product Strategy Lead, you’ll be a senior strategic hire responsible for helping shape a new product strategy capability within the business. You’ll work directly with senior client stakeholders to understand their commercial challenges, identify opportunities and turn those opportunities into products, propositions and digital experiences that can actually be built and launched. You’ll sit at the intersection of product, strategy, eCommerce and client leadership, working closely with designers, engineers and other strategists throughout the process. This is a role with genuine autonomy. You’ll help shape how the new strategic product function operates, the propositions it takes to market and how it creates value for clients. You’ll also play an important role in growing existing client relationships and identifying opportunities to expand the commercial relationship.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Work directly with clients to understand their business objectives, challenges and desired outcomes.
  • Lead strategic product thinking across complex eCommerce and digital challenges.
  • Identify opportunities to create new products, services and propositions.
  • Develop product strategies from initial concept through to execution.
  • Lead client workshops, presentations and strategic conversations with senior stakeholders.
  • Work closely with designers and engineers to turn strategy into tangible products and experiences.
  • Translate complex technical concepts into clear commercial recommendations for clients.
  • Identify opportunities to grow existing client relationships and revenue.
  • Challenge existing thinking and bring new ideas and perspectives to clients.
  • Help build the agency’s product strategy offering from the ground up.
  • Explore how AI can improve products, experiences, processes and commercial outcomes.
  • Understand customer behaviour, data and market trends to inform strategic recommendations.
  • Work across multiple clients and projects in a fast-paced, autonomous agency environment.

You’ll be expected to operate at different levels – from defining the long-term strategic vision through to helping teams translate that vision into something tangible.

The Questions You’ll Be Solving

You could be working with clients to answer questions such as:

  • How can we grow eCommerce revenue?
  • What’s missing from the current digital experience?
  • What new products or features could create additional value?
  • How can AI be embedded into an existing product or customer journey?
  • Where are the biggest opportunities for commercial growth?
  • How do we turn an identified opportunity into something that can actually be built and launched?

Your Skills & Experience

I am looking for someone operating at the intersection of product, strategy, eCommerce and clients.

You’ll ideally have:

  • A strong background working within an agency or consultancy environment.
  • Significant experience working with eCommerce clients.
  • Experience in product strategy, digital strategy, product management or a closely related discipline.
  • A proven track record of working directly with clients and senior stakeholders.
  • Strong commercial understanding, with evidence of driving revenue or commercial impact.
  • Experience taking products, propositions or strategic ideas from concept through to execution.
  • Strong knowledge of the eCommerce landscape, including platforms such as Shopify.
  • Understanding of UX, CRO, APIs, SEO, integrations and digital product development.
  • The ability to work comfortably with designers, engineers and other technical specialists.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Experience using AI to improve products, processes or ways of working.
  • Excellent presentation, communication and influencing skills.
  • The ability to operate autonomously in a fast-moving environment.

The key is someone who can hold the room with senior clients, understand the commercial problem they’re trying to solve and then work with technical and creative teams to turn that thinking into something deliverable!

  • £70,000-£80,000

  • Leading and developing teams across data engineering, analytics, architecture, enterprise systems and IT.
  • Creating a single customer view to connect customer behaviour, product usage and commercial data.
  • Maximising the value of existing data platforms, reporting infrastructure and BI capabilities.
  • Driving AI adoption and governance, identifying practical opportunities to improve business performance.
  • Partnering with senior leadership to influence commercial strategy, pricing, marketing effectiveness and product decisions.
  • Establishing strong data governance, architecture standards and accountability across the organisation.
  • Building stakeholder alignment, making confident decisions and delivering tangible improvements at pace.

Your Skills & Experience

  • Experience leading data, analytics and engineering functions at Director, VP or equivalent senior leadership level.
  • A strong background in B2C, consumer insights, customer data, market research or another data-rich environment.
  • Experience bringing multiple technical or data-related teams together under a shared strategy.
  • A strong understanding of data architecture, engineering, cloud platforms and enterprise systems.
  • Experience building a single customer view or connecting disparate data sources to improve customer understanding.
  • A track record of translating data strategy into commercial value and measurable business outcomes.
  • Strong stakeholder management skills, with the credibility to influence executive leadership and drive organisational change.
  • A hands-on leadership style, combining strategic vision with the technical judgement to challenge assumptions and make decisions.
  • An understanding of how AI can be applied to internal data, reporting and business processes.

Experience in a high-growth or evolving technology-led business would be advantageous. The priority is finding a credible, commercially minded leader who can unite teams, establish direction and accelerate the value generated from data.

The Benefits

  • £160,000-£180,000
  • Bonus – up to 20%
