UX/UI Conversion Specialist

Kapitus is seeking a highly skilled, data-driven, and user-obsessed UX/UI Conversion Specialist to join our Marketing team. This individual will own the design, development, and continuous optimization of Kapitus' landing pages, forms, and conversion pathways - with a relentless focus on turning traffic into qualified leads and improving the end-to-end digital experience for prospective customers. The ideal candidate is equal parts designer and analyst - someone who understands the nuances of human behavior and decision-making online, and who leverages that understanding alongside performance data to build digital experiences that convert. This is a hands-on, execution-oriented role for someone who takes pride in the details and is energized by measurable impact. What you'll do: Conversion Optimization Strategy • Own the strategy and execution of Kapitus' conversion rate optimization (CRO) program across all digital touchpoints, including landing pages, lead capture forms, and application entry points. • Develop and maintain a structured testing roadmap, prioritizing experiments based on traffic volume, business impact, and behavioral insights. • Analyze conversion funnel performance to identify friction points, drop-off patterns, and optimization opportunities. • Leverage data, heatmaps, session recordings, and user behavior analysis to inform design and UX decisions. • Partner with the Lead Generation team to ensure conversion pathways are aligned with campaign traffic sources, audience segments, and sales division needs. • Establish and report on core CRO KPIs, including conversion rate by page, form completion rate, cost-per-lead, and A/B test performance. Landing Page Design & Development • Design, build, and maintain high-converting landing pages within WordPress, ensuring a seamless experience from ad click to form submission. • Translate campaign briefs, audience insights, and brand guidelines into compelling, conversion-focused page experiences. • Scope, source, and integrate WordPress plugins, third-party tools, and custom functionality to enhance landing page performance and capability. • Ensure all landing pages are mobile-optimized, fast-loading, and technically sound across devices and browsers. • Manage the full landing page lifecycle - from concept and design through development, QA, launch, and post-launch optimization. • Maintain a library of tested, reusable landing page templates and components to support campaign scalability. Form Design & Optimization • Design, build, and continuously optimize lead capture forms with a focus on reducing friction, improving completion rates, and maintaining data quality. • Apply UX best practices and behavioral principles to form structure, field sequencing, microcopy, and visual design. • Test and iterate on form length, field types, CTAs, progressive profiling, and conditional logic to improve performance. • Ensure forms are properly integrated with HubSpot and Salesforce, with accurate field mapping, lead routing, and data capture. • Partner with sales and operations stakeholders to balance form completeness with user experience and conversion efficiency. UX/UI Design • Apply UX/UI design principles to all digital conversion assets, ensuring a consistent, intuitive, and on-brand user experience. • Conduct UX audits of existing pages, forms, and conversion flows to identify experience gaps and improvement opportunities. • Develop wireframes, prototypes, and design mockups to communicate concepts and gather stakeholder feedback prior to development. • Factor human behavior, cognitive load, visual hierarchy, and persuasive design principles into every design decision. • Ensure designs meet accessibility standards (WCAG) and provide an inclusive experience across all user types. Testing, Analytics & Insights • Design and execute A/B and multivariate tests across landing pages, forms, CTAs, and conversion elements. • Leverage GA4, HubSpot, and other analytics and behavior tools to monitor performance and extract actionable insights. • Translate test results and performance data into clear recommendations and implement winning variations efficiently. • Build and maintain dashboards and reports that communicate conversion performance to marketing leadership and cross-functional stakeholders. • Stay current on CRO methodologies, UX trends, and emerging tools to ensure Kapitus remains at the forefront of digital conversion best practices. Cross-Functional Collaboration • Collaborate closely with the Lead Generation, Content, and AI & Brand Visibility teams to ensure conversion assets are aligned with campaign goals and audience strategies. • Partner with sales division stakeholders to understand customer profiles, objections, and journey nuances that should inform landing page and form design. • Work with internal and external development resources to scope and implement technical requirements for landing page functionality. • Contribute to broader website optimization efforts in collaboration with relevant marketing and technology stakeholders.
