Strategy Consultant

Introduction

Our mission on the Rapid Experimentation team (aka Rapid X) is to help Fortune 1000 clients achieve their business goals via Optimizely’s Experimentation, Personalization, and Collaboration solutions. Our remote, global team is composed of Strategy Consultants, Solutions Architects, Designers, Project Managers, Developers, and QA engineers, allowing us to plug gaps anywhere in our customers’ workflows. Whether it be overarching program strategy and governance, campaign execution, results analysis, bespoke technical solutions, or anything in between, we position our customers to increase the velocity of their testing and scale with best practices in mind.

We are adding another Strategy Consultant (SC) to support an influx of exciting new customers in North America. Strategy Consultants wear many hats, adding value as a highly credible strategic advisor, campaign scoping and execution dynamo, and trusted account manager. You will work with a portfolio of clients across a range of industries, including brands like Holiday Inn, Visa, Zoom, and Indeed, serving as the primary point of contact for customer stakeholders. They will rely on your guidance when determining what to test, how to execute in support of data-driven decision-making, and how to continuously innovate and scale their optimization programs.

Behind the scenes, you will also partner with our Project Manager, Designers, Developers, and QA engineers to ensure our clients’ campaigns are delivered in alignment with the agreed upon scope and communicated timelines. Given the level of collaboration required, internally and externally, to ensure clients are successful, we have built the team on a foundation of trust, integrity, open communication, creativity, and FUN. A good sense of humor, from the audience or the stage, cures all!

This is an opportunity to supercharge your career by making your mark in an organization that is growing exponentially.
