CRO Analyst
About Blue Stout
We’re a fully remote CRO agency that partners with fast-growing DTC brands on Shopify — typically $5M–$100M in annual revenue. We help them increase conversion rates and revenue per visitor through strategic site optimizations and data-driven A/B testing. If you love identifying what makes users click and want to work with exciting, recognizable brands, this is your opportunity.
The Role
We’re looking for a sharp, proactive CRO Analyst to join our team as a freelancer. You’ll own A/B test setup and analysis end-to-end, work directly alongside our senior CRO team, and communicate findings to clients. This role sits at the intersection of data, UX intuition, and clean technical execution.
What You’ll Do
- Set up, manage, and monitor A/B tests using Convert.com and VWO
- Analyze test results using the Bayesian method and forecast revenue lift
- Communicate test findings and insights to clients via weekly progress updates
- Collaborate with designers and developers to implement winning variations
- Join 2 monthly calls per client to discuss strategy and provide recommendations
- Participate in internal team syncs at least twice a week
- Ensure test setup aligns with Shopify templates and targeting is accurate
How to Apply
Start your application with “CRO Superhero” so we know you’re paying attention
Then include:
- 2–3 examples of CRO projects you’ve led or contributed to (with results where possible)
- The platforms and tools you’ve worked with (Convert, VWO, GA4, Shopify, etc.)
- A short note on why you’re excited about working with fast-growing DTC brands
Requirements
What We’re Looking For
Required:
- 2+ years of CRO experience in a performance-focused environment
- Hands-on experience setting up A/B tests end-to-end, from hypothesis to analysis
- Proficiency in Convert.com or a comparable testing platform (VWO, Optimizely)
- Strong GA4 skills — event tracking, funnel analysis, and data interpretation
- Solid JavaScript skills — able to write clean, dynamic DOM manipulation code without fixed delays or fragile class-based targeting
- Working knowledge of HTML/CSS for test setup and variant implementation
- Understanding of Shopify architecture — sections, templates, and theme structure
- Available during US Pacific Time business hours
Nice to Have:
- Experience with Google Looker Studio for reporting
- Familiarity with heuristic evaluation frameworks (Nielsen’s 10, LIFT model, etc.)
- Experience with session recording and heatmap tools (Hotjar, Microsoft Clarity)
- Prior agency experience working across multiple client accounts simultaneously
