Growth Marketing Manager

Blue Light Card. Individually great, together unstoppable

The Role and the Team

BLC Near Me is the platform that connects our members with local offers from businesses in their communities.

The Growth Marketing Manager for BLC Near Me role sits at the heart of that effort.

Working closely with the Head of Go-to-Market, you'll own the planning and delivery of growth marketing campaigns from awareness and lead generation through to activation and early lifecycle engagement, with a particular focus on attracting and converting small independent retailers.

It's a hands-on, high-ownership role with real scope to shape how BLC Near Me grows.

This is initially a six-month fixed-term contract.

What You'll Do

• Plan and execute growth marketing campaigns across relevant channels, with a focus on merchant acquisition, activation, and funnel performance
• Develop audience segmentation, messaging, and value propositions that resonate with small independent retailers and local partners
• Build and manage an experimentation roadmap across channels, creatives, offers, and nurture activity, scaling what works and iterating quickly
• Use paid platforms including Meta, Tik Tok, Linked In, and Google to set up, test, and optimise campaigns
• Work with Hub Spot to support lead management, lifecycle journeys, reporting, and continuous optimisation
• Track and report on key funnel metrics including lead volume, conversion, and campaign efficiency, turning insight into clear recommendations
• Collaborate with Product, Data, CRM, and commercial teams to align campaigns with proposition development and sales priorities
• Apply AI tools across research, content development, campaign iteration, and performance reporting to accelerate learning and improve outcomes
• What You'll Bring
• Proven experience in demand generation, with accountability for campaign delivery and measurable outcomes
• Strong grasp of audience segmentation, messaging, and channel testing, with the ability to turn performance insight into better campaign results
• Hands-on experience with one or more paid platforms, including Meta, Tik Tok, Linked In, and Google, covering campaign setup, testing, and optimisation
• Comfortable working with Hub Spot or a comparable CRM platform to support lead nurture, lifecycle journeys, and reporting
• Analytical confidence when interpreting funnel metrics, campaign data, and customer insight to guide decisions and prioritisation
• Experience collaborating across commercial, product, data, or CRM teams to deliver joined-up growth activity
• Experience marketing to small independent retailers or local SMEs would be a bonus, but is not essential
