3rd Fastest Growing Small Company in Central Texas, proudly wearing the recently awarded "Best Places to Work in Austin" for 2016 title belt!

Wanted

We're on the hunt for a smart, intuitive, data-driven, creative, passionate, and FUN problem solver to join our team as a Senior Digital Strategist (or in Clearhead talk: Senior Optimization Director).

Bonus

You love the idea of working at a young, fast growing, fast paced company (family) that doesn’t have all the answers yet, but is working on figuring them out each day.  

You love the idea of spending time gathering and employing data to make product decisions. You hate the old way of doing things: making product roadmap decisions based on gut, debating colors and copy and whether something looks “clean”, chasing the latest trends and buzzwords, and spending millions on massive redesigns that fail to deliver on expectations.  

You are ready for a new way of doing things.  A way inspired by the ideas of the “Lean Startup” and immersed in experimentation, data and measurement.
