Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • 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
Won't Work If
  • 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

Interview Process

1

Initial Phone Screen

Confirm your website marketing experience, GA4 proficiency, and WordPress/CMS background. Discuss your approach to data-driven optimization.

2

Portfolio/Case Study Review

Walk through 2-3 websites you've optimized—metrics improved, what you tested, results. Be ready to discuss before/after and learnings.

3

Technical Assessment

May include GA4 scenario questions, basic SEO knowledge, and responsive design/UX principles. Possibly a small take-home analytics or content strategy scenario.

4

Stakeholder Panel Interview

Meet with marketing leadership, dev/design partners, and possibly admissions stakeholders. Be prepared to discuss workflow management and collaboration approach.

5

Offer & Reference Checks

Standard reference checks; offer likely contingent on background check and verification of credentials.
