  • Champion development through training, feedback, and upskilling opportunities

Strategic Planning & Delivery

  • Own end-to-end CRO strategy from planning to implementation

  • Analyse performance data to identify impactful testing opportunities

  • Ensure all CRO delivery aligns with both business objectives and user needs

Internal Leadership

Experience & Skillset
Must Have:

  • Commercially minded - understands client needs and how to deliver within real-world constraints

  • Quantitative analysis skills - able to uncover insights and draw testing hypotheses from data

  • Confident storyteller - skilled at communicating test results and strategy through data
