### About the role

The Conversion Marketing Manager will own the Tools BU's pre-sale conversion engine across the customer journey from website visitor to lead to purchase. This role turns website, funnel, and user-behavior data into a prioritized experimentation roadmap identifying conversion friction points, developing and executing tests, measuring business impact, and scaling what works across the Tools portfolio.

This is a business-outcomes role, not campaign execution alone. Its purpose is to improve the efficiency and quality of demand already entering the Tools funnel, and to help more qualified prospects move toward a trial, sales opportunity, or purchase. This role drives conversion optimization across both the self-service and sales-assisted funnels.

### What you'll own

Product-led growth conversion: partner with product and product marketing to build and execute tests around in-product moments that drive upgrade and conversion, and opportunities to reduce friction. Use product analytics and in-app guidance tools to analyze behavioral data, develop hypotheses, and instrument tests.Ecommerce funnel conversion: partner with the ecommerce team and drive the testing roadmap to optimize the online purchase path from cart to checkout, reducing drop-off and lifting completed transactions.

Website CRO conversion: partner with the SolarWinds CRO team to define the experimentation roadmap for Tools BU landing page and session-to-lead experiments, bringing Tools product context.

Lead-to-sales-pipeline conversion: partner with the SDR and sales teams to improve lead-to-opportunity conversion for the sales-assisted funnel.

Nurture marketing strategy: define the pre-sales nurture strategy, including lead nurture, closed-lost, and customer churn win-back campaigns across marketing channels.

Funnel analytics: analyze performance across the full conversion funnel, turning incomplete or noisy data into a clear call on what to scale, improve, pause, or stop.

Tracking & reporting infrastructure: partner with Data and Marketing Analytics to improve tracking, attribution, and reporting; partner with Content and Product Marketing on messaging across surfaces, audiences, and channels.

### Metrics you'll drive

Website session-to-lead conversion rate

Lead-to-pipeline conversion (sales-assisted funnel)

Trial-to-closed-won conversion (self-service funnel)

Ecommerce funnel conversion rate

### What we're looking for

3+ years in a quantitative marketing, growth, conversion rate optimization or comparable decision-science role, where you've owned numbers and shaped meaningful outcomes

Strong analytical judgment. You can define success metrics, isolate friction points, make decisions with imperfect information and have the cross-functional chops to drive alignment without direct authority

Proven ability to drive decisions with analytics and reporting tools such as GA4, Looker, Tableau, or Omni Analytics

Experience with CRM/marketing automation platforms (e.g., Salesforce, Marketo)

Experience using product analytics and in-app guidance tools (e.g., Pendo, Userpilot, Amplitude, Mixpanel, PostHog, Appcues) to instrument and act on user behavior is a plus
