The Challenge

Snap is betting big on hardware (Spectacles) and wearables, and they need someone to own the entire digital commerce engine. You'll drive awareness-to-conversion across a premium tech product line while competing in a crowded AR/wearable space.

Your Mission

First 3 Months

Audit current digital commerce funnel across all channels (paid social, SEM, SEO, affiliate) and identify top 3 conversion leaks

Establish baseline KPI dashboard tracking traffic, conversion rate, CAC, and ROAS by channel and product SKU

3

Launch 2-3 A/B tests on high-impact moments (landing pages, checkout flow, retargeting creative) with clear success metrics

4

Build working relationships with Product, Creative, and Analytics teams; map out cross-functional approval workflows

By 6 Months
1

Increase overall digital conversion rate by 15-25% through optimized funnel, UX testing, and channel mix refinement

2

Reduce customer acquisition cost (CAC) by 20%+ while maintaining or growing total revenue from digital channels

3

Scale high-performing paid media channels (social, retail media) while testing emerging wearable/AR-specific platforms

4

Ship integrated SEO/SEM strategy that lifts organic traffic 30%+ and improves branded and category search rankings

KPIs You'll Own

Digital Conversion Rate

Percentage of site visitors who complete a purchase; track by channel, device, and product line.

Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)

Total paid media spend divided by new customers acquired; benchmark by channel and cohort.

Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)

Revenue generated per dollar spent on paid media; primary lever for budget allocation.

Lifetime Value (LTV) / LTV:CAC Ratio

Repeat purchase rate and average order value over 12 months; target 3:1 ratio minimum.

Organic Traffic Growth

Month-over-month change in SEO/SEM driven visits; goal is steady 10-15% quarter-over-quarter growth.

Cart Abandonment Rate

Percentage of users who add items but don't complete checkout; key lever for conversion optimization.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've managed $5M+ annual media budgets and proven ability to grow revenue while dropping CAC in a paid-first environment
  • You're comfortable owning the entire funnel: from demand gen through conversion optimization and retention—not just top-of-funnel
  • You thrive in matrix organizations and can influence Product, Creative, and Executive teams without direct authority
  • You're analytically obsessive: you live in dashboards, you run experiments constantly, you don't accept gut calls without data
  • You have hands-on eCommerce or hardware experience (consumer electronics, premium tech, wearables) and understand the competitive landscape
Won't Work If
  • You're a pure strategy person who doesn't like getting into the weeds—this role is 50% execution, 50% strategy
  • You've only worked in B2B or enterprise; hardware/consumer eCommerce is a very different beast (lower LTV, faster iteration, trend-driven)
  • You need full remote or hybrid flexibility; this is on-site, Palo Alto, no exceptions
  • You're not passionate about Snap/Snapchat or don't understand why AR/wearables matter; this role requires intrinsic motivation for the mission
