Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Specialist

Team: Growth / Digital • Type: Full-time • Location: Remote
About Kitsch

Kitsch is a certified female- and minority-owned global beauty brand - bootstrapped from hair ties sold door-to-door into a household name across 32,000+ retailers in 92 countries, with no outside capital. We make everyday essentials that make you feel exceptional: high-performing, well-designed, and genuinely attainable.

We're scaling our digital business fast, and we need systematic optimization to keep growing. This role puts you at the center of the revenue-driving decisions that matter.
The mission

Drive systematic conversion rate optimization across Kitsch's digital properties through data-driven experimentation - delivering measurable revenue growth via strategic A/B testing and funnel optimization.
What you'll own

• Conversion performance - own and deliver the primary conversion metrics that drive Kitsch's digital revenue (CVR, revenue-per-visitor, AOV) through systematic testing and optimization.
• Funnel optimization - systematically improve every stage of the customer journey, from product discovery through checkout completion (add-to-cart, cart→checkout, checkout→purchase).
• Testing infrastructure & pipeline - evaluate and recommend the optimal testing tech stack, then maintain a steady cadence of high-quality, statistically rigorous A/B tests (roughly 2-4 per month), each with documented insights and next actions.
• Strategic test prioritization - build and maintain a prioritized experimentation backlog using data-driven frameworks (ICE/PIE), focusing resources on the highest-impact opportunities.
• Cross-functional experimentation leadership - coordinate with Design, Development, and Merchandising to keep tests shipping without delays, and document the workflow so it scales.
• Data-driven hypothesis generation - leverage quantitative analysis, session replay, heatmaps, and voice-of-customer insights to identify and validate high-potential opportunities.
• Mobile UX optimization - prioritize mobile conversion, where most DTC traffic and friction lives, while protecting Core Web Vitals.
• Revenue impact measurement - translate testing activity into clear business value, reporting ROI of the experimentation program to leadership.

What you bring

• Hands-on CRO / experimentation experience in a DTC, e-commerce, or consumer environment.
• Strong statistical rigor: proper experimental design, significance testing, and sample-size calculations to ensure valid, actionable results.
• Data analysis mastery - comfortable synthesizing GA4, session-replay, heatmap, and funnel data into optimization opportunities and testable hypotheses.
• Experience evaluating, implementing, and optimizing A/B testing platforms for scalability, accuracy, and team adoption.
• Independent prioritization - you filter work through impact-vs-effort frameworks without waiting for direction.
• Strong async communication - you document decisions, insights, and next steps clearly for a distributed team across time zones.
• AI fluency - you use AI tools to accelerate hypothesis generation, test analysis, and insight synthesis.

Your first 90 days

• 30 days - complete a tech-stack evaluation with clear recommendations, establish proper analytics tracking, and define the testing methodology framework.
• 60 days - roll out the testing platform, launch your first tests on it, and establish cross-functional workflows with Design and Dev.
• 90 days - testing infrastructure fully operational, a consistent test cadence achieved, and measurable progress toward conversion targets.

Our values - non-negotiable

• Proactive problem solving - you identify conversion bottlenecks before they're escalated and bring data-backed solutions.
• Willing to sweep the floors - you take ownership of the unglamorous QA, analysis, and documentation that keeps the program running.
• Pride in our work - you feel personally accountable for conversion performance, celebrating wins and honestly documenting the losses you learn from.
• Warm & real - you sound like a person, not a corporation.
