Every dollar the team spends on paid and organic ends up in one place: the website. This role builds the thing that converts it.
You own Halters website - as an the short term that means owning and building in Webflow: shipping landing pages components and experiments fast. But the bigger prize is the migration. Youll scope and lead Halters move off Webflow to a custom headless-CMS-backed site then own it as a codebase - fast flexible and built to scale across New Zealand Australia and the US.
You own the conversion rate that turns visits into leads. The channel owners drive traffic; you own what happens when it lands - page experience lead forms load speed and the technical and on-page SEO that keeps the site fast crawlable and ranking. And youre the build partner for ABM: when the Search SEO & ABM owner needs a personalised landing experience for a target account you build it to brief.
This is the highest-leverage lever on the team: a better-converting faster-shipping site multiplies the output of every other channel. You report to the Performance Marketing Lead and own the conversion rate and lead-quality numbers.
Youll do it with AI as a core tool. Page builds component generation copy and test analysis - we expect you to use AI to ship faster and sharpen every output. You know what an MCP server is and youve automated real work with tools like n8n.
We dont care where youve come from - front-end engineering growth engineering web dev or a designer-developer who ships production code. What matters is that you build fast and that youve moved a conversion rate and can prove it.
Youre a front-end engineer. Youre fluent in modern front-end - React/ TypeScript HTML/CSS - and component-driven build and youve worked with a headless CMS. You can own a website as a codebase not just a page builder.
You can run a migration. Youve moved a site - or a meaningful chunk of one - from a hosted platform to a custom build and you know how to do it without tanking SEO performance or the pipeline on the way.
Youre an experimenter. You form a hypothesis run a clean test read the result honestly and ship the winner. You build knowledge not opinions.
You care about the whole journey. You dont stop at the form submit - you track results through the funnel and follow up with the wider team to fix problems wherever they surface even when theyre further down the funnel than your page.
Building and shipping a new landing page - in Webflow today in your own components tomorrow - and getting it live in hours not weeks.
Scoping the headless migration: choosing the stack and CMS mapping the URL and SEO plan and sequencing the move so nothing breaks.
Designing and shipping an A/B test on a key landing page then reading the result and rolling out the winner.
Rebuilding a lead form to cut friction and improve quality then handing a clean lead off to the right downstream flow.
Working with the Paid Social owner to fix a landing page thats dragging down an otherwise strong campaign and with the Search owner on technical SEO and page speed.
Building a personalised landing experience for a target enterprise account to an ABM brief.
Own the conversion rate. Youre accountable for turning traffic into leads and you treat the sites conversion rate and lead quality as your number.
Build fast and for real. You ship production-quality pages and components - in Webflow now in a custom headless stack next - and you can own the migration end-to-end.
Test your way to the answer. You run disciplined experiments kill what doesnt work and ship what does. You dont operate on opinions - you build knowledge.
Are AI-native. You know what an MCP server is youve built things with tools like n8n and AI is already core to how you work.
Youve owned website conversion or growth engineering in a high-growth SaaS hardware or ag-tech business.
Youve built in Webflow beyond content - whole pages custom components and interactions - and know where it stops scaling.
Youve led or shipped a migration to a headless CMS (Contentful Sanity Storyblok or similar) on a modern framework.
Youve run a structured experimentation program with a real testing cadence.
Youre strong on technical SEO Core Web Vitals and page performance.
