Senior CRM Automation & Journeys Leader – Always-On

We’re ASOS, the online retailer for fashion lovers all around the world. We exist to give our customers the confidence to be whoever they want to be, and that goes for our people too. At ASOS, you’re free to be your true self without judgement, and channel your creativity into a platform used by millions. Everyone needs some help showing up as their best self. We’re Disability Confident Committed – let our Talent team know if you need any reasonable adjustments throughout the recruitment process.

The Customer Lifecycle Team forms part of the Customer & Commercial department and is responsible for taking customer, campaign and channel insights and using them to devise a global strategy for engaging, converting and retaining customers via targeted messaging across all touchpoints. Always thinking data‑first, the Senior Manager, CRM Automation and Journeys will help to shape and deliver our lifecycle strategy by translating priorities into an actionable roadmap and driving the cross‑functional delivery required to scale automated, always‑on lifecycle programmes.

This role is accountable for accelerating progress against FY26 priorities including:

• growing the reachable customer base
• increasing app penetration and onboarding quality
• improving new customer repeat rate
• strengthening retention and reactivation via always‑on intent journeys
• moving from static caps to dynamic personalised frequency
• introducing Next Best Action decisioning – starting in early lifecycle and expanding over time

This role is designed to scale impact through automated, always‑on lifecycle programmes, strengthening the foundations (segmentation, decisioning, measurement and ways of working) that enable automation and reduce reliance on manual BAU execution. Working closely with Customer Marketing, Trade, AMG, Insights, Data/MarTech/Engineering and CRM operations, you will partner cross‑functionally to unblock delivery and accelerate our shift toward automated lifecycle execution.

You’ll be hands‑on in our CRM platforms (e.g., Braze or similar ESP/CDP tools) and will operate as a senior individual contributor – owning the plan and building it yourself, end‑to‑end from ideation through to full execution of campaigns and programmes. This role reports to the Head of Customer Lifecycle Marketing.

We believe being together in person helps us move faster, connect more deeply, and achieve more as a team. That’s why we require spending at least 3 days a week in the office. It speeds up decision‑making, helps team members learn from each other more quickly, and builds a culture where people can grow, create, and succeed.

Qualifications

• Hands‑on lifecycle operator: Comfortable building campaigns and journeys end‑to‑end, defining requirements, creating audiences, setting up automation and orchestration, QA’ing, launching and iterating.
• Strong analytical acumen: Confident interpreting performance data, diagnosing journey drop‑offs, and using insights to recommend clear actions and prioritise what will drive the biggest impact.
• Commercial and business judgement: Strong business acumen with experience linking lifecycle initiatives to growth outcomes (reach, conversion, repeat, retention, LTV). Comfortable making trade‑offs and prioritisation decisions based on customer value and commercial value.
• Automation and always‑on mindset: Experience scaling lifecycle impact through automation – building automated, always‑on triggers and programmes, and reducing manual BAU execution through better design, governance and ways of working.
• Platform experience (Braze or similar): Experience using Braze or similar ESP/CDP platforms to build and optimise lifecycle programmes (journeys, triggers, segmentation, orchestration). Comfortable learning new tools and working with technical partners to troubleshoot issues and unlock efficiencies.
• Cross‑functional delivery strength: Proven ability to partner with Product, Data and Engineering teams to translate business needs into clear requirements, manage dependencies, and deliver outcomes through collaboration and influence.
• Structured and organised approach: Excellent attention to detail and strong prioritisation skills to manage multiple workstreams in a fast‑paced environment, balancing BAU improvements with longer‑term capability building.
• Collaborative mindset: Comfortable building strong relationships across teams and seniority levels (Customer Marketing, Trade, AMG, Insights, Tech and Product), communicating clearly and aligning stakeholders around decisions.
• Proactive and solutions‑focused: A can‑do attitude, comfortable working through ambiguity and proposing new ideas or ways of working to improve performance and execution quality.
