Image Optimization Lead
The Role
The Image Intelligence Lead is responsible for creating a new, pioneering function that fuses Generative AI (GenAI), photography, and quantitative experimentation to optimize how listings and events are presented on our platform. This role plays a crucial role in enhancing fan engagement and conversion by systematically deploying AI-driven imagery. The ideal candidate will be a builder who demonstrates key competencies in GenAI fluency, quantitative experimentation, and scalable system design to drive measurable business success.
Key Responsibilities
- Image Strategy & Execution: Design, own, and execute end-to-end workflows for generating and testing listing, event, and in-app imagery using advanced GenAI tools (e.g., Midjourney, DALL·E, Stable Diffusion, Sora).
- A/B Testing & Optimization: Own the experimentation strategy, running controlled A/B tests to measure and validate conversion and revenue lifts from different image sources, qualities, styles, and layouts.
- System Operationalization: Architect and build scalable, repeatable processes that efficiently integrate human judgment with GenAI-based image creation and deployment to maximize ROI.
- Fan-Centric Curation: Ensure all visuals resonate authentically with sports and music culture, enhancing the fan experience and building the company brand as a dynamic, fan-first marketplace.
- Value Maximization: Continuously evaluate the cost and impact trade-offs between traditional photography, fully automated GenAI, and hybrid approaches to maximize visual impact and cost efficiency.
Key Competencies
Technical Skills
- Generative AI Fluency: Deep, hands-on ability to use and troubleshoot cutting-edge GenAI image tools. Capacity to quickly learn and master new generative models and techniques.
- Image Workflow Experience: Proficiency in photography or managing high-volume image workflows within a B2C marketplace or e-commerce environment.
Quantitative Skills
- Quantitative Experimentation: Proficiency in designing, executing, and interpreting A/B tests with statistical rigor. Must be data-driven and capable of translating experimental results into actionable visual strategy.
Leadership/Mindset
- System Design & Scaling: The ability to move beyond one-off execution to design robust, repeatable, and scalable workflows and processes that leverage technology to minimize manual effort.
- Pragmatic Ownership (Manager/Doer): Acts as a high-output individual contributor who is equally comfortable executing complex tasks and designing the system for eventual delegation or automation. Takes full ownership of visual impact and outcomes.
Interpersonal Skills
- Creative & Fan Acumen: A strong eye for visual appeal and design, coupled with a deep, authentic understanding of fan psychology in the sports and music domains.
Minimum Qualifications
- Experience: 4+ years of hands-on experience in a visual content, creative operations, or product role, specifically at a B2C marketplace, e-commerce company, or high-volume digital platform.
- Other Requirements: Proven ability to operate and deliver measurable results using Generative AI image tools in a commercial setting.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience: Direct experience in a role focused on Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO) or growth marketing where A/B testing imagery was the primary mechanism for driving results.
- Experience: Photography interest and passion.
Performance Metrics
- Conversion Uplift (Primary KPI): Achieve a measurable, statistically significant increase in event conversion rate and resultant total revenue attributable to GenAI imagery tested.
- Visual Production Cost Savings: Demonstrate a reduction in cost per usable visual asset compared to traditional photography/manual creative methods.
- Scalable Image Asset Velocity: Achieve a measured increase in the speed and volume of high-quality, deployable image assets (time-to-launch).
- Visual Consistency & Quality Score: Successfully ensure a high percentage of critical listings have optimized, brand-aligned imagery, reducing instances of low-quality, inaccurate, or missing visuals.
New Growth Lever Identification: Successfully pilot and quantify the impact of 1-2 new, strategic uses of imagery (e.g., personalized visuals, video generation) in the first year.
