What You'll Bring - Deep experience in web strategy, digital experience, or martech leadership in B2B technology or SaaS environments. - Proven success leading major website re‑platforming or digital transformation initiatives involving modern architectures. - Expertise with headless CMS platforms (e.g., Contentful, Sanity, Strapi), composable DXPs, and JAMstack ecosystems. - Hands‑on experience with AI‑powered personalization, testing platforms (Optimizely, VWO, LaunchDarkly), and analytics tools (GA4, Amplitude, Heap). - Strong technical acumen and the ability to engage confidently with engineering teams on APIs, performance, CI/CD, and frontend frameworks. - Exceptional project and stakeholder management skills, especially across multi‑team, multi‑dependency initiatives. - A solution‑oriented mindset with a focus on eliminating friction and delivering measurable impact. - Excellent communication skills and the ability to influence diverse stakeholders. - Bonus: Experience with AI content tools (e.g., Jasper, Writer), CRO experimentation portfolios, CDPs such as Segment or mParticle, and certifications in analytics or optimization platforms. The base salary range for this position is $156,000−$234,000 plus benefits. This range represents the minimum and maximum new hire compensation for this role. The position may also be eligible for incentive plans and additional benefits, in accordance with company policy and local regulations.
