Now Hiring

Product Presentation Optimization Specialist

Venturi’s online sales success depends heavily on how well we present our products to potential web customers. Compelling content, engaging images, and solid keyword strategies are a must, as is a healthy balance between creativity and data analysis. We’ve been at this long enough to know that what worked yesterday won’t necessarily work today, and that in the fast-paced world of online sales, you need dedicated experts analyzing and optimizing your presentations on a consistent basis if you want to thrive online. 

We’re currently looking for a creative, tenacious, data-driven marketer to join our team and help make our online product stories sing. As a dedicated Product Presentation Optimization Specialist, you will work closely with leaders from Sales, Marketing and Product Development to identify high-value presentation opportunities, execute meaningful tests, measure impacts and analyze results.   You will have a seat at the planning table, helping identify Venturi’s highest priority opportunities. You will also battle day to day on the front lines, imagining, designing, executing, and measuring dozens of optimization tests each month in a continuous hunt for changes that impact critical success metrics like conversion rate, click through rate, and more.  

As our new Product Presentation Optimization Specialist, you will join a talented, experienced team of true online sales experts who are already succeeding in a fast-moving, ever-changing omni-channel retail world.  Your job will be to make them even stronger, fueling incremental sales and customer acquisition growth by identifying high-value presentation opportunities, executing meaningful content changes, and helping us identify what’s working and why. Your tactical tests and discoveries will make our online product presentation pages better than they’ve ever been. The Presentation Optimization Program you develop for us over time will fuel efficient sales growth for years to come.
