Conversion Rate Optimisation Manager - ecommerce business
Leeds - on site role
£45,000 - £55,000 (depending on experience) + bonus
We’re looking for an experienced Conversion Rate Optimisation (CRO) Manager who is genuinely passionate about improving online performance to support the continued growth of a fast growing ecommerce business based in Leeds.
This role offers real ownership. You’ll take the lead on the company’s conversion strategy, embed best-practice CRO processes across the business, and work closely with internal teams to drive measurable commercial growth across their digital platforms. The CRO Manager role sits within a mature, commercially focused ecommerce environment based in the North West. The culture is grounded and collaborative, and you’ll be encouraged to challenge existing thinking. If you agree with everything that’s already being done, you’re probably not adding the value this business is looking for.
You’ll work across multiple ecommerce sites and product ranges, giving you plenty of variety and challenge. This is a fast-paced role that requires clear thinking, strong communication and the confidence to influence stakeholders across the business. The ability to translate data into practical, revenue-driving actions is key.
