Job description

We are looking for a Optimisation Manager to join us on a permanent or short term contract basis.

Reporting directly to the Optimisation Lead, you will be the driving force behind the day-to-day execution of our Rapid Iteration & Optimisation (RIO) framework. You will sit at the intersection of data, technology, and execution—translating tactical roadmaps into live, performance-enhancing site updates. Working hand-in-hand with the Paid Media, CX, and Development teams, you will turn real-time trading insights into immediate, measurable business growth for our global clients.

What You’ll Be Doing

Execution of Site Optimisation & RIO Roadmap

• Daily Campaign Management: Own the hands-on execution and QA of the weekly site optimisation roadmap, ensuring rapid deployment and zero-defect delivery of experiments and content updates.
• A/B Testing & Personalisation: Build, launch, and monitor A/B tests, multivariate tests, and personalisation campaigns designed to immediately boost real-time trading performance and conversion rates (CRO).
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate daily with copywriters, designers, developers, and the Paid Media team to coordinate asset production and ensure rapid execution of updates.

Performance Analysis & Reporting

• Real-Time Monitoring: Keep a finger on the pulse of live campaign performance, monitoring real-time analytics suites to identify sudden performance drops, bugs, or immediate conversion opportunities.
• Insights Translation: Synthesize complex data from test results into actionable recommendations. Help the Optimisation Lead compile weekly performance reports demonstrating trading uplift and ROI.
• Audience Segmentation: Utilise Customer Data Platforms (CDPs) and web analytics tools to build, manage, and optimize dynamic audience segments for targeted messaging.

Technology & Platform Operations

• Platform Operations: Act as the super-user and administrator for our stack of site optimization, analytics, and content management platforms.
• Data Quality & Tagging: Ensure tracking codes, analytics tags, and event-tracking parameters are correctly implemented on all optimized pages to safeguard data integrity.

What We Want From You

We are looking for an execution-focused digital specialist who is highly organized, agile, and obsessed with conversion rate optimization (CRO) and real-time performance.

Technical Skills & Experience

• Site Optimisation Platforms: Proven hands-on experience using optimization and A/B testing software (e.g., Optimizely, VWO, Adobe Target, Siteimprove, or similar meta-optimisation tools).
• Analytics Suites: Proficient in setting up custom reports, segments, and event tracking in web analytics suites (e.g., Google Analytics 4, Adobe Analytics, Amplitude).
• Content Management Systems (CMS): Experience editing, publishing, and running personalization initiatives within enterprise CMS platforms (e.g., Adobe Experience Manager, Sitecore, or Shopify).
• Customer Data Platforms (CDPs): Familiarity with how CDPs (e.g., Segment, Tealium) ingest and activate audience data for real-time personalization is highly desirable.

Execution & Mindset

• High Velocity: A "rapid delivery" mindset. You thrive in fast-paced environments and love seeing your work go live to drive immediate commercial impact.
• Agile Competency: Comfort working in agile sprint cycles, managing weekly backlogs, and juggling multiple fast-turnaround tasks simultaneously.
• Analytical Thinking: Naturally curious and highly analytical. You don't just look at data; you look for the "why" behind user behavior.
• Collaborative Communicator: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to bridge the gap between creative, technical, and commercial stakeholders.
