ALLAN’S COMMENTS: We are working with a large omnichannel retailer in its search for a Web Analytics Manager. My client is based in the Southeastern United States. We were engaged for this search by the firm’s new head of Marketing — whom we know from previous experience is a total A-player. We also just completed a search for this client’s new Director of Digital Marketing.

About the Company

As an innovator in the footwear trade for more than 100 years, our client offers a wide selection of famous footwear brands for women, men, and kids. The firm’s selection covers the athletic (60%), comfort, dress, and casual categories — and its superior customer service, convenience, and value position it for future growth.

How many pairs of shoes do you own? Several, probably. Like everyone.

In the last few years, increasing disposable income and ecommerce sales have driven growth in the footwear market — fueled by higher AOVs and SKUs spanning a wide range of price points. Having said that, more retailers have entered the industry, especially online.

As a result, operators are forced to compete on the basis of price and oftentimes cut prices or offer promotions to attract customers and remain competitive. Regardless: Through 2024, IBIS World expects the footwear market to reach $101 billion, as shoe prices increase and higher quality merch is rolled out.

About the Role

Last year, the client’s ecommerce business reached nine figures, and the plan is for YOU to lead the advancement and optimization of their web analytics program for it this year. The Web Analytics Manager will be responsible for the integration, adoption and insight generation of marketing digital analytics across the website and other applications. In this role, you will work closely with key stakeholders across Marketing, Digital and key vendors to prioritize and execute against reporting needs and analytical enhancements required to deliver business results.

In this role, you will use tools such as Adobe Analytics, Google analytics, Content Square and other data sources to generate insights and recommendations designed to drive meaningful business growth. The ideal candidate has outstanding analytic skills, strong business acumen, excellent interpersonal abilities, and a passion for data.

NOTE: This position will be REMOTE but some travel to their corporate office will be required. Due to this being remote, we are looking for someone with very strong communication skills since most interactions will be via Video and Phone.
