Role
Who you are
- 5–10 years managing B2B tech or SaaS websites with a product management mindset
- Bachelor’s degree or equivalent practical experience
- Hands-on experience leading a major enterprise web platform upgrade or migration, start to finish
- Daily-operations proficiency in Jira and/or Asana
- Technical foundation with a genuinely enterprise-grade CMS (e.g., Contentful, Sitecore, Adobe Experience Manager, or a comparable headless/composable platform), HTML/CSS/JS, and scalable architecture
- Expertise in GA4, Google Tag Manager, Core Web Vitals, and SEO tooling (e.g., Search Console, Screaming Frog) to measure and improve traffic, availability, and usability
- Data-driven, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving
What the job involves
- We are looking for a Website Manager to lead the strategy and execution for forwardnetworks.com
- Reporting to the Director of Content and Digital Marketing, you'll bring a product manager's mindset to our primary web property, driving its long-term strategy, daily performance, and continuous evolution
- Your goal is to bridge the gap between web strategy, design, technical execution, and user experience
- As we enter our next stage of growth, you'll balance rigorous daily operations with high-impact initiatives to ensure our digital presence scales securely and efficiently alongside our business
- Web Strategy & Operations: Treat the website as an evolving product—own the strategic roadmap and the daily intake, prioritization, and execution of all web updates. Use Jira to triage engineering requests and bug fixes, and Asana to project-manage larger cross-functional campaigns
- Always-On Performance, Metrics, and Attribution: Own core technical and engagement metrics, site availability, Core Web Vitals, traffic, and usability across desktop and mobile. Connect site behavior to pipeline through CRM/marketing-automation integration
- Platform Architecture, Evolution, and Accessibility: Own the technical health and modernization of our web platforms, including WCAG/Section 508 conformance, evaluating and implementing enterprise-grade CMS, and infrastructure that scales securely
- SEO & Organic Growth: Own technical SEO, site architecture, and organic search performance as a primary driver of pipeline; monitor emerging AI-search/answer-engine visibility as a channel
- Iterative CRO & Personalization: Run a continuous testing program — audits, A/B tests, and landing-page refinement — including personalized experiences for distinct buyer segments (e.g., federal, enterprise, mid-market) via our ABM/personalization stack
- Global Site Architecture: Build and maintain a scalable, localizable site structure — translation workflow, regional compliance (e.g., GDPR), and CMS framework — to support our enterprise segment's international footprint
Our take
The rapid flow of data from inside and outside organisations has rendered top-down planning difficult, and often ineffective, especially in an enterprise network setting. Forward Networks provides a solution by creating digital twins of a company's network architecture so planners and developers can see how their activities will affect operations across the entire network.
Although digital twinning is relatively new, there is already intense competition for this space. Forward Networks has carved out a unique niche in focusing on enterprise networks rather than the organisation as a whole, a focus which is needed given the complexity of modern hybrid networks which can span several cloud environments.
In 2023, Forward Networks completed a Series D funding round led by MSD Partners, with participation from Goldman Sachs, one of its long-term customers. This investment has supported the business in further developing its product, expand the services available to its customers, and scaling its core team.
