Would you like to be part of a UX-led company? With a growth of 1.311% in the last 3 years, BandenConcurrent has been awarded #1 fastest growing e-commerce business of The Netherlands by Ernst & Young and Thuiswinkel and the #6th fastest tech company of the Netherlands from Deloitte. And this is due to our user centric culture.

We make it not about a product or feature, but we make it about the customer. Our goal is to make ordering and fitting tyres super easy and affordable. We do this by fitting tyres at home or at work through our state of the art mobile fitting vans.

Currently we are looking for a Conversion Optimization Specialist, who goes beyond understanding what customers want to truly uncover why they want it.

Introduction:
As a Conversion Optimization Specialist you are part of a multidisciplinary growth team. With specialists in the area of online marketing and technology, you will work in an agile way of one week sprints to reach your optimization targets. You will have several roles and responsibilities. 

Responsibilities:
You will identify potential bottlenecks and opportunities within our e-commerce platform by looking at both quantitative data (what are our users doing) through systems like Google Analytics and qualitative data (what are our users saying) through user interviews and surveys. Based on your data analysis and user research, you take decisions on the improvement strategy.

After your analysis you will work out a solution through a low fidelity wireframe. From there – and again, together with the user – you will work out a high fidelity design and formulate briefings for our development team.

After the A/B test ends, you will analyze the data  and decide which variance will go live and to what extent we need to do a follow up test.

In short you will:

– Perform user research

– Set up A/B tests
– Create mockups and designs
– Identify potential revenue leaks
– Setup tools for further improvements
– Prioritize improvements through a growth hacking framework

Qualities of a good optimizer:

– You get very excited about progress
– You are determined to learn new skills
– You have an analytical mind
– You have a feeling for technical things
– You possess a high level of curiosity
– You have design skills
– You are detailed oriented
– You are a people person; because you are optimizing for the customer experience, you need to be able to communicate to the team you are working with, while also talking to customers and asking them questions.

Salary:

– Depending on your level of experience you will earn between EUR. 30k – EUR. 40k a year.

Our perks:

– Cool office to work in, based on the TU Delft campus with table tennis, playstation etc.
– Great team with ambitious and fun colleagues; we take care of each other.
– You will get the best tools to do your magic; great hardware (good computers, with multiple screens etc).

• • lnertia is a state in which people do nothing without making a conscious decision to do so. lnertia can be a problem when it leads to suboptimal (financial) outcomes. For example, many people could save hundreds of euros and might receive better coverage by switching health care insurance, but they do not. Another example is that many people could save more for their pensions by making small investments in money now, but they do not. The aim of the current project is to understand which contexts effects might invoke financial inertia and who is most likely to become financially inert.

  • This PhD-project starts with a literature review to model the contextual determinants of financial inertia. We will take a psychological perspective in the sense that we are not only looking for financial barriers, or time barriers, but also cognitive and motivational barriers raised by the context that lead to inertia (e.g., information is too complex, costs and benefits of taking action are difficult to compute, the choice set and communication style invokes worries about making the wrong decision, etc.). The next goal is to develop and test a scale to assess dispositional inertia. Finally, the theoretical model and the dispositional inertia scale will be validated via surveys and lab and field experiments.

  • The Faculty of Social and Behavioural Sciences comprises four institutes: Education and Child Studies, Political Science, Psychology and Cultural Anthropology & Development Sociology. The Faculty also includes the Centre for Science and Technology Studies. The Faculty is home to 5,000 students and 600 members of staff. Our teaching and research programmes cover diverse topics varying from adoption to political behaviour.

• • We invite applications for a fully funded 4-year PhD student in the field of cognitive/affective neuroscience. This position is embedded in the Learning & Decision lab (PI: Hanneke den Ouden) at the Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, as part of the Vidi project “Getting things done: Unravelling the neurocognitive mechanisms of adaptive decision-making”

  • The overarching aim of our research is to establish the computational and neuropharmacological mechanisms of human (mal)adaptive decision-making. The focus of this PhD position will be to investigate in both healthy and psychiatric populations how disparate decision systems may act both synergistically and competitively, depending on environmental demands.
  • You will work within the learning and decision-making lab at the Donders Centre for Cognition. We are a small and growing research group that emphasises close collaboration and a friendly atmosphere, strongly embedded within a larger decision-making and cognitive control research community.

• • De afdeling Medische Psychologie van het Radboudumc verricht wetenschappelijk onderzoek binnen diverse onderzoeksthema’s in het onderzoeksinstituut Radboud Institute of Health Sciences. Binnen de onderzoeksgroep Psychosociale Oncologie start een door KWF Kankerbestrijding gefinancierd project: ‘Fear of progression in advanced cancer patients with prolonged survival on ongoing cancer treatment in an era of personalized medicine’.

  • De studie bestaat uit verschillende onderdelen en maakt gebruik van verschillende onderzoeksmethodes. Op basis van informatie uit interviews met patiënten en zorgverleners zal een klinische interview worden ontwikkeld om angst voor progressie vast te stellen. Daarnaast worden concepten als angst, onzekerheid en hoop in kaart gebracht door patiënten gedurende een periode te volgen in hun dagelijkse omgeving.

  • Wij zoeken een onderzoeker in opleiding met ambitie! Het liefst een duizendpoot: iemand die zich kan verhouden tot patiënten en naasten, professionals, zorgorganisaties. Die goed is in analyseren, reflecteren, communiceren, organiseren en die zelfstandig én in teamverband kan werken.

• • Stichting Autismehulp is op zoek naar enkele psychologen/psychiaters, eventueel in opleiding. Omdat zij zien dat lange wachttijden en hoge drempels vaak een (tijdige) behandeling in de weg staan, willen zij graag een eigen behandelteam opzetten waarin hulpvrager centraal staat en ons team versterkt wordt.

  • SAHZL is van oorsprong een ouderinitiatief en is in de afgelopen 10 jaar uitgegroeid tot een volwaardige zorginstelling. De inzet is het zo persoonlijk mogelijk begeleiden van de mensen met ASS waarbij we samen met de hulpvrager zo gericht mogelijk aan de doelen/wensen werken.

  • Ben je stressbestending, heb je ervaring met de problematieken rondom de stoornis en het autismespectrum en voel je je thuis in een informele, dynamische omgeving met medewerkers die een passie hebben voor hun beroep?
  • Informeer naar de mogelijkheden om een samenwerking te bespreken, dit kan via contactpersoon Joline van Kessel. Zij kan worden bereikt op joline@sahzl.nl en 0649327846

• • At the research group of distinguished university professor Naomi Ellemers we are looking for a PhD candidate (0.8 FTE) / research coordinator (0.2 FTE).

  • Combining insights from social psychology, psychophysiology, and cognitive neuroscience, the current project aims to develop a psychophysiological perspective on coping with social change. The aim is to test different strategies that can make people more resilient and help them retain a degree of open-mindedness, even when under threat. These strategies will be tested in a series of experiments in lab- and field-settings (making use of a mobile lab).

  • A better future for everyone. This ambition motivates our scientists in executing their leading research and inspiring teaching. At Utrecht University, the various disciplines collaborate intensively towards major societal themes. Our focus is on Dynamics of Youth, Institutions for Open Societies, Life Sciences and Sustainability.
