The Challenge
ECPI University needs someone to own their digital front door—websites are the #1 enrollment funnel. You'll optimize pages, manage content workflows, and drive conversion metrics across their digital properties while partnering with devs, designers, and marketing teams.
Your Mission
Audit current website performance across homepage, college pages, and landing pages; identify top 5 conversion barriers and present optimization roadmap
Establish baseline metrics: document current GA4 setup, conversion funnel, and engagement KPIs by channel and audience segment
Align website content calendar with marketing team; execute 2-3 planned campaigns with proper CRM/lifecycle integration
Document and standardize content workflows, approval processes, and stakeholder intake to reduce bottlenecks
Implement and test 8+ page redesigns/optimizations; target 15-25% lift in key conversion metrics (inquiries, application starts)
Improve organic traffic and SEO performance; target 20%+ increase in branded + program-related search visibility
Build and own website analytics dashboard; deliver monthly insights reports showing traffic trends, user behavior, and conversion performance
Ensure ADA compliance audit complete and remediation plan in place; validate responsive design across all devices and update design system documentation
KPIs You'll Own

Company Intelligence

Culture
Mission-driven education focus; collaborative, stakeholder-heavy environment; values data-driven decision making and continuous improvement.
Is This Role For You?
- You've optimized websites for conversion—landing pages, funnels, CMS workflows—and have GA4 chops to back it up
- You thrive in collaborative, cross-functional environments and can balance stakeholder demands with strategic priorities
- You're detail-oriented but also strategic; you sweat the UX but think about the business metrics
- You're energized by higher ed or B2C enrollment/lead gen marketing and understand longer, complex buyer journeys
- You want a hands-on management role where you own website performance end-to-end without huge budgets
- You need remote/flexible work—this is on-site, Virginia Beach, no exceptions
- You're purely creative or design-focused; this role requires data analysis, CMS chops, and analytics literacy
- You expect fast-moving startup culture; higher ed is slower, more bureaucratic, with longer approval cycles
