• Ensure appropriate experimentation standards and statistical rigour are applied consistently.
• Drive personalisation opportunities across content, product recommendations, segmentation and customer journeys.
• Partner with D2C teams on Salesforce merchandising, campaign launch optimisation, data capture and basket abandonment opportunities.
• Support the growth and optimisation of My Pandora across e‑commerce, identifying opportunities to improve member acquisition, engagement, retention and customer lifetime value.
• Measure business impact and convert learnings into scalable recommendations.

2. FONC, Stakeholder management and communication

• Act as the Western Europe point of contact for optimisation and personalisation, connecting local D2C, Analytics and cluster priorities with Global CRO, Digital Experience and Product teams.

• Define a practical collaboration model with D2C and Analytics teams covering insight generation, opportunity intake, prioritisation, briefing, implementation, QA, performance measurement and post‑launch learning.
• Create and maintain simple tools that make the model actionable, such as a RACI, intake brief, prioritisation framework, roadmap view, test card, results template and decision log.
• Facilitate adoption through onboarding, workshops and regular retrospectives, then improve the model based on team feedback and business needs.
• Manage, coach and develop the CRO Specialist, setting clear priorities, objectives and expectations.
