In addition, you will:

• Lead end-to-end multi-channel campaigns – from concept to execution – across email, web, social, paid media, and emerging platforms, ensuring alignment with business OKRs.
• Create and deliver lifecycle-based strategies to engage members at key milestones, including automated and trigger-based communications.
• Champion data-driven decision-making, leveraging first- and third-party data to deliver personalised, relevant campaigns that resonate.
• Identify and seize growth opportunities, optimising current activity and developing innovative ideas to attract and retain members.
• Drive continuous improvement through A/B testing, campaign experimentation, and performance analysis, using insights to iterate and enhance results.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to deliver campaigns that are legally compliant, brand-aligned, and creatively outstanding.
• Monitor competitor activity and market trends, sharing insights to inform strategy and maintain a competitive edge.
• Measure and report campaign performance, demonstrating ROI and making agile adjustments to hit targets.

You'll be great in this role if you:

• 5+ years' experience in mid-level marketing management, with a track record in leading, planning, and optimising integrated campaigns.
• Proven ability to deliver end-to-end multi-channel marketing campaigns, including CRM, lifecycle marketing, and automation.
• Hands-on experience with marketing automation platforms such as Marketo, Salesforce Marketing Cloud, HubSpot, or Adobe Campaign.
• Strong expertise in paid digital and social media, particularly Meta platforms (Facebook, Instagram, UGC).
• Advanced skills in analysing campaign performance and member behaviour using tools such as Power BI and Adobe Analytics.
• Commercial acumen with experience managing budgets to deliver measurable results.
• Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to brief and lead agency partners.
