Help Us Shape Smarter Customer Connections. We’re looking for a CRM Manager who’s as curious about customer behaviour as they are passionate about personalisation. You’ll play a leading role in designing meaningful, data-led customer journeys — helping us build loyalty, drive engagement, and grow value across our customer base. This is a hands-on role with a real opportunity to shape strategy, roll your sleeves up in Adobe Marketo Engage, and work cross-functionally with marketers, analysts, creatives and tech teams. If you love improving processes, championing data-driven decision-making, and crafting communications that actually connect — we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do:
- Own and deliver the CRM strategy — focused on acquisition, onboarding, retention, and reactivation for our B2B and B2C customers.
- Build and optimise customer journeys across email, SMS, in-app and direct mail — using Marketo automation to deliver timely, relevant experiences.
- Lead the campaign roadmap and marketing ops processes — ensuring efficiency, quality, and impact.
- Collaborate with stakeholders across marketing, data, digital, IT and external agencies to bring campaigns to life.
- Use segmentation, insights and performance reporting to constantly evolve what we do — using test-and-learn as second nature.
What you'll bring - Must haves:
- Proven experience in CRM, lifecycle marketing or customer engagement roles (ideally in B2B or retail/trade environments).
- Hands-on experience managing marketing automation platforms — especially Adobe Marketo Engage.
- Strong knowledge of segmentation, campaign management, lifecycle programmes and CRM data strategy.
- A process mindset — comfortable designing and delivering roadmaps, improving workflows and managing complex projects.
What you'll bring - Nice to Haves:
- Knowledge of Salesforce or Microsoft Dynamics integrations.
- Familiarity with GDPR, data governance and email marketing best practice.
- Experience with multi-channel marketing tools (e.g., direct mail, in-app messaging, SMS).
