Website Performance Manager

Oxford Instruments is a leading provider of high-technology products and services that enable customers to understand, analyse and manipulate materials at the atomic and molecular level. Our technologies support groundbreaking research and industrial innovation across materials analysis, semiconductors, healthcare, quantum technologies and advanced manufacturing.

We're looking for an experienced Website Performance Manager on a 12 Month FTC to play a key role in one of our most significant digital transformation projects – the development and launch of a new global corporate website.

This is a fantastic opportunity for a digital marketing professional with strong website management experience who has supported major website launches, rebrands or digital transformation projects and thrives in complex, matrix organisations.

The Opportunity

As Website Performance Manager, you'll be the number two lead on a major website redevelopment project, working closely with the Senior Marketing Communications Operations Manager and external web agency to deliver a new WordPress-based corporate website.

You'll be responsible for helping drive the project forward, coordinating stakeholders, validating website functionality, testing user journeys, supporting agency delivery and ensuring a smooth transition from our existing platform. At the same time, you'll oversee the performance and continuous improvement of our current website, ensuring an excellent customer experience throughout the transformation.

This role requires someone who is equally comfortable discussing digital marketing strategy, website user experience, content governance and technical website functionality.
