You will own Website, SEO, CRO, and Email Marketing end-to-end, as well as manage a targeted paid media budget.

• Report on SEO performance on a regular cadence and adjust strategy accordingly
• Manage and direct agency partners where applicable

Conversion rate optimization (CRO)

• Own conversion rate optimization strategy across the website and landing pages, driving continuous improvement in visitor-to-lead conversion
• Design, execute, and analyze A/B and multivariate tests on landing pages, forms, calls-to-action, and key conversion paths
• Use heatmaps, session recordings, and behavioral analytics to identify friction points and drop-off in the conversion funnel
• Optimize page layouts, forms, and calls-to-action based on testing results and user behavior data
• Partner with content and design to translate CRO insights into higher-converting page experiences
• Establish conversion benchmarks by page and funnel stage, and report on performance trends over time
• Collaborate with sales on lead quality feedback to continuously refine targeting, messaging, and on-page experience

Email marketing

• Own all email marketing execution in Pardot; build and maintain automated nurture workflows tailored to buyer personas and long higher ed sales cycles
• Manage all email drops to narrow and broad segments, including time-sensitive sends, with precision and compliance
• Conduct A/B and multivariate testing on subject lines, content, and send times, and share results to build a culture of continuous improvement
• Monitor and report on email performance metrics: open rates, CTR, conversions, deliverability, leads, and pipeline influence
• Ensure compliance with CAN-SPAM, GDPR, and email best practices
• Maintain email list hygiene and database health on an ongoing basis

Reporting and pipeline visibility

• Own reporting on marketing-generated leads and pipeline performance within Salesforce
• Build and maintain dashboards tracking lead volume, conversion, and pipeline influence by channel and campaign
• Partner with Sales to ensure accurate campaign attribution and lead source tracking within Salesforce

• Own campaign setup, audience targeting, and ongoing optimization within budget
• Monitor and report on paid performance metrics: CTR, CPL, conversions, and pipeline influence

Qualifications & Requirements:

• Highly analytical, comfortable owning dashboards, attribution reporting, and pipeline data
