• Payscale is looking for a Digital Marketing Manager who lives and breathes website performance
• This is a hands-on role that owns how our marketing website attracts visitors, engages them once they arrive, and converts them into pipeline — through search strategy, performance monitoring, and AI-accelerated analysis
• You will be the primary owner of top-of-funnel web performance — turning search, traffic, and engagement data into insights, prioritizing the highest-impact optimizations, and using AI tools to move faster than manual analysis allows
• You’re equally comfortable auditing technical SEO, diagnosing why a page underperforms for a specific traffic source or persona, and using AI to accelerate both
• This is a growth-oriented web performance role for someone who wants to own outcomes across the full attract-engage-convert arc
• Own on-page and technical SEO strategy across payscale.com: keyword strategy, content structure, internal linking, site health
• Own our approach to AEO — how Payscale content shows up in AI-driven answer engines and adapt strategy as search behavior evolves
• Track rankings, organic traffic, and share of voice against competitors; surface clear, actionable insights regularly
• Partner with content, product marketing, and web teams so new pages are built with search visibility in mind from day one
• Monitor the performance of key landing pages across the site regulalrly, segmented by traffic source, persona, and campaign
• Identify underperforming pages and diagnose the cause — messaging mismatch, wrong audience fit, friction, or technical issue
• Own a CRO testing roadmap, including hypothesis creation, A/B and multivariate testing, statistical analysis, and rollout of winning variants
• Work directly in Webflow to implement data-driven tests, updates, and optimizations
• Continuously optimize conversion paths across the site, contextualized by campaign, offer, channel, and page type
• Own web analytics and reporting for site-wide performance (GA4 + GTM)
• Build and maintain dashboards tracking traffic, engagement, and conversion across key pages and journeys, sitewide
• Use AI tools to accelerate analysis, surface insights, and speed up reporting
• Diagnose funnel drop-off using both quantitative data (GA4) and qualitative tools (heatmaps, session recordings)
• Deliver consistent reporting and recommendations to marketing leadership
• Partner closely with Demand Gen, Content, Product Marketing, and Marketing Operations to translate campaign and content needs into search-visible, high-performing web experiences
• Help drive a more data-driven, AI-assisted way of working across the web and marketing teams
