CRO & Landing Page Optimisation
Owning CRO across all paid acquisition funnels, building and optimising campaign-specific landing pages, running structured A/B testing programmes, and improving conversion rates across key funnel stages.
AI-Driven Creative Velocity
Using AI tools and workflows to increase creative testing speed, building systems for rapidly testing new ad concepts and messaging, and driving faster experimentation across campaigns and creative.
What they're looking for:
4-6+ years in performance marketing, paid social or growth marketing, strong hands-on experience running Meta advertising campaigns, experience with Google Ads or other paid acquisition channels, a proven track record of strong ROAS and scalable campaign performance, experience improving CRO across landing pages and funnels, and a strong analytical mindset.
Nice to have:
