Role Overview
Larger Than Life Management is seeking a part-time, freelance Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) Specialist to help improve conversion performance from affiliate links driven by macro-mega influencer social media posts (Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, etc.).
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role, ideal for a CRO practitioner who enjoys testing, analyzing, and making practical improvements to landing pages and purchase flows—without the overhead or expectations of a full-time corporate role.
The focus is narrow and clear: optimize influencer-driven traffic so it converts better.

What You’ll Be Working On
Core Optimization Tasks
• Review and improve affiliate landing pages used by influencers
• Identify obvious friction points in the checkout and purchase flow
• Suggest and help implement simple A/B tests (copy, layout, CTAs, trust signals)
• Focus primarily on mobile traffic
Affiliate Funnel Support
• Evaluate performance of traffic coming from influencer posts
• Help optimize:
• Affiliate links and tracking consistency
• Page relevance to influencer audiences
• Improve conversion rate without increasing influencer spend
Light Analytics & Reporting
• Monitor basic KPIs such as:
• Conversion rate
• Revenue per click
• Funnel drop-off points
• Provide short, practical insights and recommendations (not long decks)
Collaboration
• Work directly with a small team (marketing + influencer ops)
• Communicate findings clearly and simply
• Make recommendations that can realistically be implemented with limited resources
⸻
What This Role Is Not
• Not a full-time position
• Not a people-management role
• Not a heavy data science or enterprise CRO function
• Not responsible for influencer recruiting or content creation
This role is about practical conversion improvements, not corporate optimization bureaucracy.
⸻
Ideal Background
• Some hands-on CRO experience (freelance, agency, or in-house)
• Familiarity with affiliate or influencer traffic
• Comfort working with small teams and imperfect setups
• Understanding of social media–driven consumer behavior
• Experience in wellness, fitness, lifestyle, or DTC brands is a plus
⸻
Tools (Nice to Have, Not Required)
• Google Analytics (or GA4 familiarity)
• Basic heatmap or session replay tools
• Comfort reviewing landing pages and checkout flows
• Ability to suggest copy/layout improvements
⸻
Success Looks Like
• Measurable lift in conversion rate from influencer traffic
• Clear, actionable recommendations delivered consistently
• Tests and improvements that are simple, fast, and effective
• Strong working relationship with a lean, fast-moving team
⸻
Why This Is a Good Fit
This is a low-overhead, flexible engagement with room to grow. If performance improves and scope expands, compensation and responsibility can increase over time. Ideal for a freelancer who enjoys impact, autonomy, and practical optimization work.
