You will lead the website as a product and bring together digital experience, conversion, SEO and GEO, paid media, prospect nurture, organic channel operations, events, partnerships, and experimentation.

  • Conversion and Personalization: Build a rigorous experimentation, personalization, self-service, and conversion-optimization capability.
  • Channel Investment: Recommend and manage channel allocation within approved growth priorities, balancing efficiency, learning, reach, and long-term capability building.
  • Performance Management: Improve relevant audience growth, discoverability, conversion, pipeline contribution, self-service performance, and customer acquisition efficiency.
  • Team and Partner Leadership: Develop strong digital, channel, and experience leaders and manage agencies, platforms, and external partners with clear performance expectations.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Work with New Growth to turn acquisition strategy into executable journeys; Brand to express the company story consistently; Product Marketing to maintain accurate claims; Content and Creative to create effective experiences; Customer Marketing to connect prospect and customer journeys; and the Revenue Marketing COE to align channel decisions with CAC and conversion guardrails.

Your Expertise and Passion
  • Digital Growth Leadership: 12+ years of progressive experience across digital experience, website product management, acquisition, channel strategy, performance marketing, or growth leadership.
  • Connected Journey Strategy: A demonstrated ability to integrate website, search, paid media, email, social, events, and partnerships into coherent customer journeys.
  • Digital Product Mindset: Experience managing a high-impact website or self-service experience with a clear roadmap, customer research, experimentation, and conversion discipline.
  • Channel Fluency: Deep understanding of paid and organic acquisition, SEO and GEO, media economics, nurture, attribution, and the strengths and limitations of individual channels.
  • Data and Experimentation: Strong analytical judgment and experience building testing programs that improve conversion and customer acquisition efficiency.
  • Cross-Functional Partnership: The ability to share growth accountability with strategy leaders while retaining clear authority over channels, experiences, and execution quality.
  • Operational Scale: Experience leading broad teams, agencies, budgets, platforms, and competing priorities in a complex global organization.
