Cro Metrics
Posted 4 years ago

As a Director of Optimization at Cro Metrics, you will be a player/coach overseeing a team of people who are hybrid product manager, strategic thinker, account manager, and data analyst. Your primary role is to enable our product managers to be successful. With your passion for helping your team be successful combined with your agency or client-facing experience, you’ll be able to quickly gain the respect of your team in showing them how it’s done while also helping them to develop the skills they’ll need to grow in their own careers. Product Managers spend much of their time interfacing with clients, designers, and engineers. On the client side, our Product Managers must be able to generate data-driven ideas that will improve revenue and other key metrics on client websites while being rooted in better understanding what the customer wants.


Our PMs lead all A/B testing and personalization experimentation for the client, which includes the following:
  • Partnering with the client for the ideation, prioritization, road-mapping, design, and approval process for all hypotheses generation and experimentation
  • Diving deep into the results to deliver the data story, learnings, and recommendations from the experiment
  • Collaborating with a remote team of engineers, designers, and other PMs to support experiment ideation and execution
  • Managing all aspects of the client relationship from daily experiment monitoring to kicking off the renewal process to evangelizing the value of Cro Metrics

The director must be able to do all of these things on their own and be focused on enabling their team to level up their skills. Expect about 5% travel as you visit key accounts regularly.
