HIRING: CRO Specialist at MailBakes
DTC Gifting Brand | Remote | Full-Time | $2,000–$3,500/month + uncapped bonuses
We're hiring our first CRO Specialist at MailBakes.
This role will own everything between the click and purchase, with one goal: turn more clicks into profitable orders.
Why This Role Is Different
You'll have real traffic, direct access to the founders, and real ownership with the ability to build and launch changes yourself.
You'll work closely with our creative team. Winning ads shape the pages, and page behaviour shapes the next ads.
What You'll Get
- $2,000–$3,500/month base, depending on experience and output
- Two-week paid trial
- Uncapped bonuses for winning tests rolled out to 100% of traffic
- Pay increases as you progress
- Full ownership of landing pages, PDPs, cart and checkout
The Role
You'll:
- Build and launch landing pages in GemPages for winning angles, offers and campaigns
- Own and optimise the full journey across PDPs, cart and checkout
- Improve the site-wide journey, homepage, collections and navigation
- Ensure strong message match between the ad and landing page
- Increase AOV through bundles, upsells and offer structure
- Use customer and behavioural data to identify objections and drop-off points
- Launch at least one meaningful improvement each week
- Run structured A/B tests
- Track key funnel and revenue metrics
- Optimise mobile performance and maintain a clear CRO roadmap
- Quality-check every page before it goes live
You'll build pages yourself in GemPages. This is not a reporting-only role. You'll research, decide, build, launch and learn.
How We Work
- Full-time, long-term and remote
- Consistent overlap with UK working hours
- Daily Loom update
- WhatsApp communication
- Weekly learnings call
- Direct feedback and fast implementation
Tools: GemPages, Shopify, GA4, Microsoft Clarity, A/B testing software, Claude and ChatGPT.
AI should speed up research, analysis and copy. Your judgement decides what goes live.
Who You Are
- Proven ecommerce CRO experience with measurable results
- You've built pages in GemPages or a similar shopify builder
- You use research and data before making changes
- Strong understanding of message match, friction and buyer psychology
- Fast, clear and comfortable with feedback, testing and AI tools
Basic HTML, CSS or Liquid knowledge is a bonus.
Growth Path
- Weeks 1–2: Audit the funnel and ship quick wins
- Weeks 3–4: Launch the first pages for our top-performing ads
- Months 2–3: Own the full CRO roadmap end to end
- Months 3–6: Head of CRO. We hire below you and your pay scales with the role
Do Not Apply If
- You can't handle direct feedback
- You miss deadlines
- You go quiet
- You need constant hand-holding
- You care more about pretty pages than conversion
- You're unwilling to use AI properly to improve speed, thinking and output
Process: Application → test task → call → two-week paid trial
