This role sits at the intersection of brand, technology, and revenue—owning the execution that turns traffic into customers and customers into lifelong collectors.

SEO & Organic Growth

  • Execute on-page SEO strategies including metadata, internal linking, content optimization, and site structure

  • Monitor keyword rankings, organic traffic, and technical SEO performance

  • Conduct regular SEO audits and implement improvements

  • Partner with content and marketing teams to expand search visibility and demand capture

Conversion & Customer Experience

  • Optimize product pages and checkout flows to reduce friction and increase conversion

  • Analyze user behavior and site data to uncover opportunities for improvement

  • Support testing initiatives to continuously improve performance

  • Ensure the digital experience supports premium purchasing behavior

Traffic & Launch Enablement

  • Partner with paid media and marketing teams to ensure landing pages support campaign goals

  • Prepare the site for product drops, launches, and high-traffic events

  • Maintain site stability and performance during peak demand periods

Analytics & Performance Reporting

  • Track and report on key metrics including conversion rate, revenue per session, traffic sources, engagement, and page performance

  • Deliver clear performance insights and recommendations to the Channel Operations Manager

  • Proactively identify risks, opportunities, and optimization priorities


What You Bring

  • 4–7 years of hands-on experience in e-commerce, digital growth, or website management

  • Strong working knowledge of web design, site optimization, and CMS platforms

  • Proven experience executing SEO initiatives that drive measurable results

  • Understanding of conversion optimization and customer experience best practices

  • Comfort working directly in e-commerce platforms, analytics tools, and testing environments

  • High attention to detail, strong execution discipline, and a builder mindset


Nice-to-Have Experience

  • Shopify or custom e-commerce platforms

  • SEO tools such as Google Search Console, SEMrush, Ahrefs, or similar

  • Basic HTML/CSS knowledge

About the company

Microtech Knives, Inc. is a knife manufacturing company, famous for its automatic knives, that was founded in Vero Beach, Florida in 1994, and operated there until relocating to Bradford, Pennsylvania in 2005 and to Fletcher, North Carolina in 2009. The company expanded the location of its Corporate Headquarters in nearby Mills River, NC in 2018. Microtech now has two active manufacturing factories and one corporate headquarters location. The company has long promoted itself as stressing quality with regard to tight machining tolerances, to within one thousandth of an inch (0.001"). Microtech has designed knives for use by the US Military such as the HALO, UDT, SOCOM and Currahee models. Custom knifemakers, such as Greg Lightfoot have remarked that these tolerances are what makes the factory knives so close to the custom design: "It has the same quality as a handmade custom."
