Here at the Co-op we believe that a life outdoors is a life well lived. We're looking for a Senior Digital Testing and Optimization Strategist to technically lead and champion a stand-alone testing program to help us develop a profound understanding of our customer's journey in preparing for and enjoying that outdoor life.

You are someone who is also comfortable getting under the hood bringing competence in developing and maintaining vendor relations, tool requirements, and implementation.

* Support developing new optimization and testing and/or analytics approaches and recommendations for new or enhanced technical tools
* Demonstrate strong understanding of business issues and operate using independent judgment with little oversight
