In some situations, Proton has literally helped save lives. We are profitable, independent (no VC control), and selectively hire from the top 1% of applicants. Our 500+ team members across 50+ countries come from leading organizations and elite academic backgrounds. We move fast, keep hierarchy light, and prioritize impact over optics.

Role overview

We are looking for a CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation) Specialist to support Proton’s Marketing team in improving conversion across our marketing websites and landing pages, spanning traffic from SEO, performance marketing, affiliates, and partnerships. You will help run a steady cadence of experiments and landing‑page iterations that improve key funnels such as acquisition, sign‑up, and upgrade, ensuring tests are well‑scoped, properly measured, and clearly documented. You will collaborate closely with Design, Engineering, Product, and Analytics teams plus channel owners, to turn insights into high‑quality tests and ship changes that measurably improve user outcomes.

What you’ll do

• Be part of end‑to‑end experiment scoping and preparation by helping write and refine hypotheses, draft experiment briefs, align with the team on primary metrics and key guardrails, and translate requirements into the landing page/page‑variant updates needed ahead of launch.
• Work in close alignment with the Data/Analytics team to review funnel performance, understand drop‑offs and bottlenecks, and translate insights into prioritised test ideas and clear next actions.
• Coordinate with Product, Engineering, and Analytics to align on measurement needs (events, tracking plans, tagging assumptions, dashboards) so experiment readouts are reliable and consistent.
• Partner with Design, Content, and marketing channel owners to adapt landing page messaging and structure to match traffic intent and channel needs (Organic, Performance Marketing, Affiliates, and Influencers).
• Create, iterate on, and QA landing pages and experiment variants in the page/content publishing workflow, ensuring consistency across devices and key entry points.
• Document experiment outcomes, decisions, and learnings in a structured way so insights compound over time and enable faster iteration across future tests and teams.

Job Requirements

• An experimentation mindset: you are curious, structured, and guided by a user‑first mindset, focusing on measurable improvements across acquisition, sign‑up, checkout, and upgrade funnels.
• 1 to 3 years of experience in conversion rate optimisation and experimentation, with exposure to at least one of the following areas: growth, lifecycle, or performance marketing, and clear examples of measurable conversion impact.
• Ability to translate insights into clear hypotheses, define primary metrics and guardrails, and support A/B tests through launch, QA, and readout.
• Solid analytical foundations: comfortable reviewing funnel performance, spotting drop‑offs, and turning results into prioritised next actions with Data/Analytics.
• Tracking and measurement literacy: able to align with Product and Engineering on events, tagging assumptions, and dashboards so results are reliable.
• Hands‑on landing page optimisation: build, iterate, and QA pages and variants in a CMS/page builder, with strong attention to detail across devices.
• Strong cross‑functional collaboration and documentation: coordinate with Design, Engineering, Product, and channel owners, and document learnings so iteration gets faster.
