Job Summary

Own end-to-end CRO for funnel-heavy DTC ads, creating advertorials, sales pages, and checkout copy to lift CVR and LTV.

  • Must-have: 2+ years of hands-on CRO with running tests and shipping winners.
  • Standout: Full-funnel ownership from advertorial to checkout with measurable lift.
  • Standout: Remote-first, results-driven, with direct ownership of performance metrics.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Advertorials & Pre-Sale Pages
  • Write native-style articles that blend editorial credibility with salesmanship, warming prospects for conversion
  • Structure advertorials around proven DR frameworks (PAS, AIDA, Problem-Agitate-Solution, story-led)
  • Apply deep knowledge of advertorial structure and health/beauty compliance (FDA/FTC) so copy sells without creating claims risk
  • Sales Pages (Long-Form & Product Pages)
  • Write and rewrite long-form sales pages that carry cold and warm traffic from hook to checkout
  • Own product page copy: headlines, subheads, benefit stacks, FAQs, reviews positioning, risk reversal
  • Structure the full page argument — problem, promise, proof, offer, urgency, objection handling
  • Checkout & Post-Purchase Copy
  • Checkout page microcopy — bump offers, trust elements, guarantee framing, shipping reassurance
  • Order bumps, one-click upsells, down-sells, and Thank You page offers
  • Post-purchase email and SMS flows that drive repeat purchase and LTV
  • Bonus: direct experience with CheckoutChamp (not required — our dev team handles the technical build)
  • Full-Funnel Ownership & Iteration
  • Audit live funnels end-to-end: advertorial → sales page → checkout → upsells → Thank You page
  • Identify the weakest step and attack it first — with a hypothesis, a test, and a measurable expected outcome
  • Iterate continuously. Most funnels we inherit have a clear ceiling; your job is to break it, then break the next one
  • Sales Page & Checkout CRO
  • Redesign page structure, above-the-fold experience, section order, and offer presentation to maximize CVR
  • Optimize checkout for completion — reduce friction, surface trust, time bumps and upsells correctly

Requirements

  • 2+ years of hands-on CRO work — not just reading about it, but running tests and shipping winners
  • Working knowledge of A/B testing methodology — sample size, statistical significance, test prioritization frameworks (ICE, PIE)
  • Familiarity with DTC testing and analytics concepts (CVR, AOV, LTV, CPA, statistical significance, heatmaps, session recordings). Hands-on experience with specific tools is a plus but not required — we run all our tests on CheckoutChamp and our devs handle the technical execution
  • Ability to research products and audiences thoroughly to identify core pain points and unique selling propositions
  • Exceptional range — from punchy headlines to long-form persuasive narratives
  • Reliable, deadline-driven, and a proactive communicator
  • Core Skills: Direct Response writing frameworks
  • Core Skills: Advertorial and pre-sale page construction
  • Core Skills: Landing page CRO and funnel optimization
  • Core Skills: A/B and multivariate test design and analysis
  • Core Skills: Heatmap, session recording, and funnel analytics interpretation
  • Core Skills: Offer engineering and conversion psychology
  • Core Skills: Audience and product research

Benefits

  • Direct ownership — you run it, you own it, you see the results
  • High-leverage role — a key bottleneck to AJ Media's growth is full-funnel performance. You remove that bottleneck
  • No red tape — decisions move fast, execution is what matters
  • Shared resources from day one (developer, graphic designer) — devs handle most of the technical build
  • Path to scale — build your own small team as the portfolio grows
  • Remote-first, results-driven culture — flexible work, high accountability
  • Performance incentives tied directly to the funnel lift you deliver
  • Competitive compensation, paid leaves, and allowances
