The Opportunity

Are you an experimentation specialist who wants to make testing faster, more reliable, and genuinely impactful? Open Partners is looking for a CRO (Conversion Rate Optimisation) Junior Partner to join our creative optimisation team and power our client growth. Working at the cross-section of data, user experience, and conversion strategy, you will help transform A/B testing from a series of one-off activities into a dependable, scalable engine for performance.

Your Role & Responsibilities

Roadmap Management: Keep experimentation programmes moving at pace and on scope, preventing blockers and maintaining momentum across cross-functional teams.

Client Advisory: Serve as a trusted point of contact, presenting test strategies, hypotheses, and progress reports to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Process Optimisation: Help build a consistent, repeatable operating system for how experiments are planned, documented, QA'd, and reported across the agency.

Co-Intelligent Working: Combine your human intelligence with AI workflows to increase the speed, depth, and quality of analysis.

What Success Looks Like in 6 Months

Trusted Client Relationships: You are seen as a knowledgeable, dependable second point of contact that clients come to directly for optimisation advice.

Independent Ownership: You independently manage test design, development, QA, and live monitoring alongside your partner.

Standardised Operations: You have helped establish a consistent operating model that keeps QA issues low, eliminates dropped handovers, and accelerates test velocity.

Co-Intelligent Output: You routinely use AI-native tools to raise the bar on data reporting, analysis, and strategic roadmap contribution.

What You’ll Bring

Experimentation Craft: Proven ability to design, build, and QA valid, trustworthy A/B tests from start to finish.

Analytical Thinking: Strong analytical skills with a track record of turning test data into recommendations that influence decisions.

Delivery & Coordination: Exceptional organisation skills to hold workstreams together and keep multi-client programmes moving.

Clear Communication: Ability to explain complex testing concepts and data insights clearly, both in writing and in person.
