Our mission is to help kids succeed in school, and search marketing is central to our plans to reach more families.

Over the next three years, we aim to 3X–5X our SEM investment and associated revenue, and toward that end we are looking for a data-driven search marketing professional who can lead this growth while maintaining strong ROI and efficient customer acquisition.

As the Director of Paid Search & Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO), you will be responsible for the day-to-day execution, management, and optimization of our search advertising campaigns on Google and Microsoft Ads. In addition to search campaign execution, you will lead our CRO efforts to strengthen our downstream funnel results in support of our Paid Search channel.

You’ll work cross-functionally with stakeholders, including leadership, to align paid strategies with overall business goals. As part of those efforts, you will be expected to develop and help deliver critical business intelligence to inform our decision-making and strengthen our marketing attribution efforts.

The role requires collaboration across our marketing team, internal sales teams, leadership team, and outside partners.

This is a remote position, with a preference for candidates in the Eastern time zone (especially MA-based applicants).

• Lead our approach to improving conversion rates from paid traffic, treating landing page optimization as a core driver of SEM performance.
• Lead research and idea generation, develop requirements and/or guidance for internal and external partners, and oversee page development, testing, implementation, and measurement.
• In some cases you will design and implement the tests yourself using our CMS and/or internal staff support. In others you will collaborate across both internal and external partners.
• Own monitoring and reporting on those ongoing CRO experiments, and also own ensuring that landing page tests do not negatively impact user experience or Google quality scores.

• Given that SEM performance is deeply connected to lead quality, conversion rates, and lifetime value, this role requires close partnership with Sales and Customer Success leaders.
• You will also work with our product team to ensure alignment as we expand into new keyword/product categories.
• As part of that collaboration, you will build and maintain weekly & monthly reports for key stakeholders and the leadership team. This includes presenting performance insights and recommendations from a framework that focuses on business outcomes.
• And when appropriate, you will support efforts to test new digital channels like paid social, local service ads, and SEO.
