• Input CRO findings into the wider product, content and development roadmap.

Qualitative Insight (Nice to Have)

• Create light prototypes or wireframes in Figma to support testing or validation.
• Run qualitative user tests, surveys, polls, and concept validation sessions.

Cross‑Functional Collaboration

Partner with Digital Product, Design, Content, Trading, Development and Marketing to embed test learnings.

Synthesis test outcomes through clear reporting, storytelling, and data‑driven recommendations.

Required Experience & Skills

Core Skills

• Over 5 years strong experience running CRO programmes for an eCommerce business (A/B, MVT, funnel optimisation).

• Strong analytical and numerical skills with the ability to interpret data into clear decisions.
• Understanding of UX principles, customer psychology, and mobile-first optimisation.
• Ability to manage multiple tests, priorities and stakeholders in a fast-paced environment.

What This Role Enables

• Improved conversion and revenue across Europe through structured, data‑driven optimisation.
• Insight into local user behaviour and consumption trends to identify market-specific opportunities.
• Stronger alignment between CRO findings and product, content, and development decisions.
• A shift toward a continuous optimisation culture, testing, learning and improving, not just shipping one-off projects.
• Building foundational CRO capability as part of our broader analytics and experience strategy.

In a Nutshell
