Who We Are

Job Description

Horizon Commerce is a full-service Commerce agency that builds brands, performance programs, and shopping experiences to enable businesses in accelerating Commerce sales growth.

We opened our virtual doors in February of 2020, born in the midst of a transformation in Retail and eCommerce that has shaped and sharpened our capabilities and approach, and have been partnering with leading brands to fuel commerce ever since.

We were founded on the understanding that brands looking to succeed in today’s rapidly evolving commerce landscape need a new breed of “digitally native” partner that truly understands how to win in the new digital aisle. Created with this focus and an integral part of Horizon Media, the largest independent media agency in the U.S., we break down the silos between media and shopping experiences to help optimize the full modern consumer path to purchase, from discovery through conversion.

At Horizon Commerce, we understand the value that different experiences, skills and perspectives can bring to both our team and our clients, so we strive for an environment where our employees feel welcomed, supported and empowered. Our simple recipe for team success is to hire talented people (thinkers, doers, dreamers, makers) challenge them and give them every opportunity to grow.

Job Summary

The Supervisor, Conversion Rate Optimization, reports into Horizon Commerce’s VP, Experience Analytics & Optimization, and is responsible for successful execution of client conversion rate optimization (CRO), landing page optimization (LPO) and other digital experience optimization programs. In this role, they will provide day‑to‑day support of client engagements, scale testing programs, envision new solutions, and lend ad‑hoc support of business development efforts.

We’re also building for the future with agentic experiences and new technology‑driven solutions that improve digital commerce and customer experience outcomes.

The Supervisor ensures that our clients' business, marketing and commerce goals are being met through effective experience optimization – as well as innovating on programs with new approaches, processes, and services.

Proven knowledge of experience optimization, with the ability to think strategically on behalf of a brand, will be critical to success in the role. The right candidate will be passionate about operating in a fast‑paced environment, building collaborative relationships, delivering client results, contributing to the growth of services revenue within the department, and helping iterate on the offering within the Experience Optimization umbrella.
