Technical CRO Manager
I'm hiring a Technical CRO Manager for one of the UK's leading customer acquisition businesses.
This is a rare opportunity to build and own an internal CRO capability from the ground up, taking responsibility for experimentation across multiple high-traffic lead generation brands while helping shape the future of the CRO function.
Unlike many CRO roles, this isn't purely strategy and analysis. They need someone who can combine experimentation expertise, commercial thinking, and hands-on front-end testing skills.
The company
A fast-growing international marketing and technology business operating across the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and France.
They own and operate their own digital brands rather than acting as an agency, giving them complete control over customer acquisition, experimentation, and optimisation across the customer journey.
With 40+ lead-generation journeys and significant investment into paid search and paid social, there is huge scope to drive measurable commercial impact through experimentation.
The opportunity
The business has invested in CRO through external contractors for the last couple of years and is now bringing the capability in-house.
You'll take ownership of:
- The CRO roadmap
- Experimentation strategy
- Testing frameworks
- Front-end test implementation
- Future team growth
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
As the function matures, there is a genuine opportunity to build and lead a dedicated experimentation team.

- Use behavioural analytics tools such as Mouseflow, Clarity and FullStory to identify optimisation opportunities

- Present recommendations and business cases to senior stakeholders
- Work closely with Marketing, Technical and Compliance teams to drive growth
