The role
We’re looking for a commercially minded CRO Manager to lead CRO and experimentation across a portfolio of UNRVLD clients.
This role could be based from either our Manchester, London or Cardiff offices.
Reporting to the Head of Experimentation & CRO, you’ll be responsible for the day-to-day success of your accounts, building trusted client relationships, identifying high-value opportunities, shaping evidence-led roadmaps and coordinating the specialists needed to deliver them.
This is a hands-on, client-facing role requiring strong CRO expertise alongside excellent organisation, commercial judgement and a proactive approach. You’ll be comfortable taking ownership, challenging thinking constructively and turning complex evidence and analysis into clear recommendations and actions.
You’ll typically manage three to four client accounts, depending on their size and complexity.
What you’ll do
Client leadership
- Act as the day-to-day CRO lead and trusted optimisation partner for your clients.
- Build strong relationships with senior stakeholders and delivery teams.
- Lead client sessions, roadmap discussions and performance readouts.
- Present findings clearly and constructively, including unsuccessful or inconclusive results.
- Proactively manage decisions, dependencies and risks to keep programmes moving.
CRO strategy & experimentation
- Use customer, behavioural and commercial evidence to identify and prioritise opportunities.
- Develop and continually evolve focused CRO and experimentation roadmaps.
- Define clear hypotheses, metrics and decision frameworks for experiments.
- Use your judgement to determine whether an opportunity calls for experimentation, further research, an immediate improvement, personalisation or a wider strategic initiative.
- Balance customer impact, commercial value, effort, risk and confidence when making recommendations.
