What we’re looking for:
- Proven hands‑on experience managing and optimising PPC campaigns across diverse SKU mixes.
- An understanding of Meta, email marketing and other digital acquisition channels and the levers to pull to improve results.
- Previous team management experience, with the ability to develop and motivate others.
- A genuine passion for driving revenue growth and improving commercial performance.
- Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills, with a data‑led approach to decision‑making.
- Experience working within a fast‑paced retail or e‑commerce environment.
- Experience marketing large and diverse product ranges. (The Coopers range includes over 10,000 SKUs!)
- A curious mindset and a desire to continuously test, learn and improve.
