Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) & Creative Strategy - Contract to Hire
UpworkWe are a fast-growing e-commerce brand operating at the intersection of product, content, and performance marketing.

This is not a traditional “button color tester” role.
This is a revenue-driving position responsible for improving conversion across landing pages, PDPs, funnels, upsells, and creative messaging.
If you understand psychology, consumer behavior, storytelling, and data — and you can translate that into higher CVR — we want to meet you.

- Obsessive about incremental improvements that compound over time.
⸻
🧰 Required Experience
- Proven experience improving conversion rates for an e-commerce brand.
- Experience running structured A/B tests and interpreting statistical results.
- Strong copywriting ability (direct response or performance marketing background preferred).
- Familiarity with Shopify or similar platforms.
- Experience with tools like heatmaps, analytics dashboards, and testing software.
⸻
📊 Bonus Points
- Experience working closely with paid media teams.
- Understanding of UGC and performance creative alignment.
- Experience optimizing subscription funnels or upsell flows.

This role directly influences growth.
You won’t just be tweaking pages — you’ll be shaping the messaging, positioning, and psychology that drives millions in revenue.
