About the role

The Manager, Digital Analytics & Insights is responsible for delivering actionable insights that improve the performance of the Dignity Memorial website. Supporting North America's largest funeral home and cemetery provider, with more than 1,600 locations and a digital ecosystem of 50+ million webpages, this role transforms customer and website data into strategic recommendations that enhance search visibility, improve website usability, optimize customer experiences, and increase qualified leads.

This role goes beyond reporting to proactively identify opportunities and barriers throughout the customer journey—from families researching funeral and cemetery pre-planning services to those seeking immediate-need services or searching for a loved one's obituary. By analyzing customer behavior, website performance, and digital marketing channels, this leader uncovers insights that improve how customers discover, navigate, and engage with the Dignity Memorial website.
