THE ROLE :
This role is based from our London office 2 times a week
As Experimentation Lead, you'll drive a genuine test-and-learn culture across New Look. That means embedding experimentation best practice where it's still new and growing maturity where it already exists. You'll be central to our re-platform and website launches, making sure new features are rolled out and measured properly, tests are coordinated across teams rather than run in silos, and we're learning the right things from everything we build. You'll manage our third-party testing partners, work closely with our teams to scale what's working, and build wider buy-in for experimentation across the business. Ultimately, you'll help us build a real picture of what matters to New Look customers, so we keep focusing our effort in the right places.

- 40% staff discount plus friends & family discounts throughout the year

- Do your bit for the environment and save money with our Cycle2Work scheme
- We're proud to partner with the Retail Trust and Fashion & Textile Children's Trust
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
Building an experimentation culture
- Champion experimentation across the business, tailoring your approach by team: implementing best practice from scratch in some functions, and raising the bar in others where testing already happens
- Build strong, influential relationships with teams to embed a test-and-learn mindset, scaling best practice through coaching and enablement
- Gain buy-in for experimentation in parts of the business where it isn't yet established
Supporting the re-platform and rollouts

Coordination and delivery

- Shape experimentation roadmaps with eCommerce, Product and UX, aligned to OKRs and priorities
- Support across delivery end-to-end: ideation, hypothesis, design, results, recommendations
- Create the right forums to support teams with trouble-shooting, launching and analysing experiments.
Partnerships and technology
- Manage third-party relationships (e.g. Monetate, ACX) to build new experiments and functionality
- Ensure we’re working with the right 3rd parties for our needs, and run RFPs when these needs evolve
- Keep evolving the programme: scaling experimentation, especially as we personalise, and staying current on industry trends and the tools available
